thanks for this.
the volunteering has been arranged largely (mostly?) thru the clinic. i mean, they could have said 'no,' etc., but...i think the clinic got a grant or something to do this jobs placement (or, in my case, volunteer work placement) program. and...
-sigh- the 1st offer was to be a pt janitor...at local university...for minimum wage, when needed. blah. im not 'too good' for anything, but it seemed almost like...punishment, especially when my dad told me that, way back when, he'd done stuff like that, just to get money before he finished his degree...and it was worse than it sounds. blah.
if i make it thru the training and im a 'good fit,' etc., it will just be a few hours, 1x per week. i looked stuff up last night, to see...and it seems that volunteer work could be grounds for ending benefits, especially if one volunteers a whole lot or if the 'volunteering' is at a for-profit place. and so...
-depressing- i do have my parents and all, but...the big, big deal is that disability covers the Rx at a low co-pay, plus it covers the appointments at the clinic. my Rx are generic, but...for whatever reason, the main player ("atypical" antipsychotic) still comes in at a high, high cash price...this, 4ish years after going generic. i don't get it.
blah. now, to be honest...id kinda thought about trying to get away from the clinic. too many mind games...hard stares, snarky comments from the other counselors (not mine), even the receptionists...
and although i like my counselor as a person, im only in his office every 6-8 weeks, and i suspect protocol is for that to be stopped, eventually. the psych now is competent, professional, but...i had some rough times with psych ppl there, honestly.
i dunno. thanks for sharing your concern. i wouldn't even be -on- disability if it wasn't for my parents...
and i had involuntary shock, etc. i suppose they could/would provide (yet again), if needed, but...
ugh. depressing. when i have worked, people have made it as hellish as possible...largely because of some "professionals" from back in the day. ugh.
ok. thanks.
