Hello, my name's Chaotic. Before this predicament befell me in it's intensity (mental health issues) I was a well-achieved academic. Sure, I had depression and anxiety in high school.. but what I didn't know is it'd later become major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and anxiety. I had came from an unfortunate background as it is: mother is currently battling cancer, sister looks after her autistic son full-time and juggles caring for my mother on the side too in public government housing. I was at least thankful I was instantly able to fall into government housing, despite only escaping it's clutches briefly.
I sadly had to give up one of the most fulfilling careers I could've ever imagined for myself. Because of the episodic nature, I can't imagine myself returning to work in any capacity, which frightens not only myself but also my wallet. In the short pursuit I was never able to start a family, meet somebody who pulled on my heart strings, and therefore am in financial fright of the future and the loneliness which may incur. As far as I'm aware, living on disability support pension by yourself and no ownership of a house is hardly financially living at all. I couldn't get my sister as a full-time carer for me as I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself, it's only maintaining employment for longer than spans of days is now impossible.
A friend of mine in law school currently said he'd financially support me and I could live with him, but I certainly couldn't be a burden on him. I am, however, glad I stumbled across this site as so I can get necessary information from people first-hand. I look forward to integrating into this community.
