Ok - so here it is:
When you are abused to the point of incapacity, you have something taken from you. You then must learn to live without it. You can "recover", but you will never be "the same". So - you, in essence, have to learn a whole new way of life. That's what counselors and doctors and pharmacists and alternative therapies are for. Now, see, this would not be an issue had you been born with it - because it would just be "life" then. You would already know how to deal with it. The doctor bills would already be part of your finances. Your job would be one that allowed for your disability. I was born with seizures. I have never known life without them. So - they are just a part of me. But, when someone abuses you to the point of incapacity, suddenly you are faced with a change of lifestyle, a loss of finances, and more expenses than you originally had. How do you deal with that? You did not cause this to happen and you were not born with it, why should you then be "punished" because you cannot pay for it? These are reasons a person seeks disability based upon psychological reasons. The problem with that though is sooner or later, that money you paid in to social security that allowed you to receive disability in the first place, will run out. At that point - you are in essence, living off the government or taxpayers. The problem with this though is neither the government nor the taxpayers did this to you either. Why then should they be "punished" or struggle to pay it as they often do? Should the responsibility not be placed on the person who caused the problem to occur in the first place?
