Hey friend.
I am sorry to hear you’re struggling. I know the process of applying for disability isn’t easy and can be discouraging and frustrating at times. I wish it were easier. My sister who is now 50 has been unable to work since she was 19. I know it took a toll on her self confidence for years. Despite what society can lead us to think sometimes, our worth isn’t determined by our ability to earn an income. It can make life easier, sure, but you have so much more value to this world than just what you can do for a living wage. Although the way you’re treated makes you feel even more fragile like China and maybe even more disabled than you are, it at least sounds like your mom deeply cares for your well-being. I don’t make a lot of money and what money I do make oftentimes goes more to bills and responsibilities rather than fun things. So when money is short, I have had to get creative on things to do for fun and relaxation at times that don’t cost a lot and hopefully even not at all. Sometimes it’s as simple as going to the local library or a park nearby to get out of the house and just read or draw or write while I people watch. Life can definitely throw some curveballs but it sounds like you are intelligent, have a good heart, and resilient so I hope in time you’re able to find your skills and talents that align with your hurdles and put them to use. Whether that’s hyping others up, a craft, writing, art, or whatever makes your heart and soul feel good because you aboslutely deserve that!

Hello there, thank you for sharing your story. I just want to say that I see you and I hear the pain and frustration in your words. It’s really tough when you feel stuck in a situation where you want to move forward but everything seems like it’s holding you back. The pressure of not being able to work or make money and feeling like you’re being treated as fragile, is a lot to carry. I understand how disheartening it can feel to not be able to do what you want for your mental well-being, especially when you feel like you’re being limited by circumstances beyond your control.
I want to remind you that your worth isn’t tied to your ability to work or make money. You’re not defined by the struggles you’re going through, even if it feels like you’re in a holding pattern. Sometimes life does throw those curveballs that aren’t fair or in a close proximity to bat. Please, know that you’re not alone in this. I’m here for you and HeartSupport is here for you! 
I believe that things can get better and has a wild way of working itself out, even if it feels like it’s moving slowly or the road is bumpy.

Keep holding on and know that there are people out there who want to see you thrive and succeed. Keep going. You’ve got this.
