I don't want to live

Post Reply New Topic

I am so scared that the government will put me out of my Disability Pension.

I don't want to live any more. If they take my Disability Pension away from me, I am 100 % certain that I WILL commit suicide. I will do it.

Don't assume they will, be certain and check.

What exactly is this disability if you don't mind me asking?

There's plenty of jobs out there for people with disabilities, I have 2 and I've held a job for going on 3 years, though mine aren't nessecarily as severe as yours.

I have a combination of AS an Schizophrenia with negative symptoms as the major cause.

I can't handle pressure og stressors. Any kind of pressure makes me anxious and I just panick and get hallucinations, delusions and depression, even though I am treated with antipsychotics.

I can't even live in my own home without psychiatric/social support every day, how should I handle a job on the ordinary labor market then?

It's really difficult to offer advice without knowing more about your situation. But times do get tough, sometimes people make it worse than it needs to be.

You have survived this far. You are still winning as it were-because you haven't given up. Life is never going to be easy for anyone, NTs included. But all you can do, is all you can do.
Thousands of people (with families) have lost their jobs and their houses in the recession. They have lost everything. And survived.

All that have tried, have got up, dusted themselves down and the real fighters are better off than they were before.

It's only when we lose something, that we realize how good we had it. That is a hidden blessing. If nothing bad happens, you will know how good you have it.

I really hope that helps-Even a little.

This is the UK, right? The place where the Conservative govt is slashing disability allowances AND university support, thus leaving the disabled with no way out of their nightmare. I doubt the UK has two year colleges, called community colleges here in the US, or privately run technical schools. I have attended both institutions (I am in USA) and learned a lot, and improved my lot in life. If we just had four year universities I would probably had killed myself by now. As I understand it, lots of people in UK are facing having their disability checks discontinued, so you're not alone.

truth is your above statement means you are at risk of self harm and harm to others, this means
employers cannot employ you for insurance purposes. You have a serious mental health problem
which means you will continue to get disability pension. No ifs or buts.

No, Denmark.

I know its bad in the UK since 2008, but I fear the same will happen here.
