If you aren't able to have a job, even part time, would you consider dating someone who is also on disability? Friend’s of mine brother has been on disability for the past 20 years and him and his girlfriend are together for like 15 years. They live together and have a nice life. They are both on disability and do not work. You might have easier time getting along and building a life with someone who is in a similar boat.

Although I do believe that many people judge those who don’t work, it’s not everyone. Many people won’t date someone on disability just because it’s a big adjustment in lifestyle and people simply have their preferences.

If your goal is to work though, then it’s a good goal to focus on. It might open more doors for you. Good luck
I have to disagree that online dating opens more doors. Especially with the free sites, which again, is what I can only afford. It opens more doors to creepy weirdos. It opens more doors to awkward dates. It just hasn't worked for me. I do go back to it at times, but that is my choice and something I don't judge myself for.

I don't know if it's true that many people judge others for not working. That sounds quite defeatist and not hopeful to be honest. I'm a person with feelings and thoughts. And that doesn't feel supportive to me, no matter whose opinion it is. I do know though, that I have felt the stigma for sure.

I feel good with not talking about this anymore. It's over and done with.
