Venting Denied SSI

[cowplantabduction]

I honestly don't know what to even do....I need money to live, but I'm bad at everything and have no skills. I'm diagnosed with autism, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Everything overwhelms me. I struggle with the most basic tasks. I don't have a college degree because I couldn't afford to finish college. I got fired from my last few jobs and was told I should never work in customer service again, I'm not cut out for it. I can't fucking do anything to earn money for myself!!!

I did everything I could to submit a solid application for disability, I had a caseworker helping me every step of the way and provided tons of evidence of my struggles with employment. After a (much longer than expected, according to my caseworker) period of time my claim was eventually denied. How the fuck am I expected to live if I can't even earn money????

The same fuckers who say "suicide is selfish" "suicide is not the answer" will then turn around and talk shit about "homeless bums".... what do you people want from me!!! I'm sorry, I can't magically turn into a normal, neurotypical, mentally healthy person who can handle minimum wage jobs. Trust me, I wish I could.

I feel this so much, they always go around telling it's taboo and there's another way yet always turn a blind eye when someone actally needs help.
Hope we find peace there.

File an appeal. Lots of people are denied the first time they apply.

They actually gave an explanation for the denial, which was basically- "we agree you can't do the jobs you've tried, but we think you can do other kinds of work." According to my caseworker, an appeal won't change anything unless I try other kinds of jobs- except I'm not qualified for anything besides the customer service, retail and fast food jobs I've already tried. She said the fact that I've done some college is working against me here, even though I don't actually have a degree.

Try factory work. You won't have to deal with the public and there's no experience necessary. Most factories are air conditioned nowadays so it's much more comfortable than how it used to be years ago.
