what i have to do and what i am able to do are two different things too. we need to have the skills to work at jobs. i am disabled from vehicle accidents, and i sit back wondering how in the world do people that work do it as i am such a wreck. i'm on 14 pills a day, and yet i want to force myself to get a job, which there is no way with the extent of my head injuries that i would be able to do. I feel useless sometimes and my sence of purpousis to keep the house clean and help my family out the best i can. i feel guilty because people have to work to get money and i get it from SSI and SSD not much but i live from hand to mouth on my husbands budget too. My son was also in 3 car accidents so far too, his head injuries make him unable to work and we are trying to get him on social security too. he has GAD and is Bipolar. i hate to see him suffer and i wish he had more for himself but he can hardly get out of bed because the meds his psychiatrist put him on make him sleep alot. hes been on several meds so far and like the one hes on now but it scares me sometimes when he will have a three day episode where he is just out of it mentally. well what i am trying to say is that i fel for people who have to work but i also think some people should take step back and look to see if they are doing what they like and like what they are doingg, s maybe there is a chance they could get some better skills or even change jobs,it would be better to take a loss of money than to work their butts off and burn out.
