People get jealous of me because I receive SSI & Social Security. They also think I'm lazy for getting Office of Disability accommodations @ school. They think we disabled people STEAL their tax dollars. They don't know what struggles we have. I'm very mentally disabled. I can't work around people, I panic when I'm rushed, & I have difficulty concentrating. People are quick to fire me on jobs because they say I work to slow & I'm not capable of handling the job & working @ fast pace. I suffer OCD, Tourette's, Anxiety, & Depression. If they think I'm mentally incompetent, out of my head & crazy, why must they think I should work anyway?
My OCD unwanted, intrusive thoughts attack me the most. They think I'm taking the free & lazy way out. What they don't know is-I'm trying to work & become self-sufficient, but no one wants to hire me. Just by looking @ me, they figure I have some screws missing, & that I'm just ditzy & dumb, so they take advantage of me & cheat me & I get in trouble.
