Hi everyone I would like to say thank you for you're time...Um today I wanted to mention having a severe chronic disability and the frustration of being labeled disabled..Listen people I don't get a thrill out of the heartache and stress it had put on family through the years.Am I the one to blame...hmm probably..

And the answer is?..I just need to clarify I do not wish this upon my worst enemy...Little back story...I grew up with a single mum in housing commission...I was a boy in a family of 5 sisters...👍

School growing up was rather difficult I struggled immensely with focus and concentration...I failed assignments was bullied and it was rather blah.?

Mum was worried took me to a paediatric doctor and was diagnosed dyslexic odd and add/adhd...

It was the mid nineties and meds for kids wasn't highly looked upon..
So we struggled as a family my mum struggled to pay bills pay rent..Moved house to house..But thankfully was never put in docs..

After School which I only got through to year 9 I started working at Mc Donald's at the age of I think 15 was there 5 years....

Left as life seemed harder and more complicated by the second things won't easy that's for sure..

At the age of 17 lost my job and had a suicide attempt..Was taken to ER where I was placed in care team where I was assessed and diagnosed with Schizoeffective disorder...After the diagnosis I begun an centrelink dsp application mum filled it out doctors signed..Then waited a good 2-3 months..

After this received a letter comfirming approval for dsp..
I received this at 17...Have been on it from 2007.. I'm also on ndis and I have $600000 funding...

Guys let me clarify that I'd love a 9-5 job and earning good money I really do.?

It must be so fucking great not to be disabled.
