I am absolutely PISSED
I am homeless, disabled, and trying to find housing. I don't qualify since I don't have a I have no income. I asked my social worker about finding housing if my gf lives with me but she doesn't make enough. I asked about getting disability once I receive a proper diagnosis, and I got a MAYBE. Not to mention, I'm so appalled after learning how much disabled people earn in one month. The government wants you to be homeless when you're disabled, and then punsihes you for it.
I'm not at all saying people can't vent or complain about being disabled and chronically ill. I do it all the time. What we go through is beyond difficult
But I'm on my phone a lot cause I don't have the spoons for anything else. I'm always seeing posts about how horrible it is to be chronically ill. It's constant reminder. Its like picking at a wound never meant to heal in the first place. Sometimes I see more positive posts, but they are few and far between. I should make an effort to post some more positive content.
Me but my body won't let me nap 。・゚・(ノД`)・゚・。
can the doctor prescribe me for five naps a day, mandatory
Thanks so much for your feedback! And that sounds really calming :) I encourage you to do it more often. In my settings, I'm able to put my phone on "Down Time" which allows access to only a few apps. I'm not sure what phone you have (I have Apple), but you could try that!
I did what I like to call a "digital detox" by limiting 90% of the apps I could use on my phone, especially social media. I do this because I find so much negativity in the community. Trust me when I say I know being chronically is hard. But there is no reason any of us need a 24/7 reminder of it.
I also find it difficult when I'm stuck at home for a good majority of my days, with no work, it's hard to keep myseld entertained all day. I end up relying on my phone and I get incredibly sad in the process.
As some of you may know if you watch my YouTube, I was off social media for 7 months. I found it beneficial. While I'm ready to be back on social media, I needed a break
So I only used my phone to film my journey, listened, to music, and text two people. My time spent on my phone was half of what it usually was (really just using the camera app.)
Would you be interested in me uploading to my YouTube channel my journey of a digital detox while living with a chronic illness? Should I do this more often? Would you consider doing this?
And if you can believe it, I am e-begging once again. bills are all paid but we have no money to pay for food until my food stamps come in two weeks from now. anything helps and anything means the world.
