@Casheyane I’ve been fighting for 14 years. My mental health does not allow me to work right now. I tried university but dropped out twice due to my health

@SW-User If I may, can I ask what is the mental health problem? What is the state of your mind?
You don't have to answer if you are uncomfortable. Just that I know someone who stopped at college and haven't been looking for work. I don't know if it's a depression induced thing or something else.
Sometimes it is hard to even try to understand. So I thought if I could talk to people who think the same as him, maybe I'd get an idea what I can do.

@Casheyane I have MDD, RAD, panic disorder, anxiety and PTSD
It does depend on the person and the situation. My brother was this person and my parents didn't care and it wasn't until he knocked up his now wife he managed to get his shit sort of together. For him, he was just lazy & did not want to work or go to school. He was perfectly content with getting high and drunk and binge-watching TV or playing video games.
I also have an extended family member who even now in her 50s can't hold down a job, she does not have a home of her own, and she couch surfs until she wears out her welcome. She has a history of mental illness but refuses to be med-compliant. We do our best as her family, but its never easy.

The rule in my family is either go to school or work. Can’t be idle (especially in the prime of life when young) when parents are working hard to pay bills and put food on the table. This rule is why my father, who was 17 and quit school during the Great Depression got angry at my Grandpa…He was told either go to school or pick cotton and he refused to do either. Go so angry he beat my Grandpa up and went on a crime spree and fled to Mexico for over 2 years to beat the charges.

That is something that most of us will have to face. It has been a concern throughout history.
As it says in Ecclesiastes 2:17-23 (ERV) ="17 This made me hate life. It was depressing to think that everything in this life is useless, like trying to catch the wind.
18 I began to hate all the hard work I had done, because I saw that the people who live after me would get the things that I worked for. I will not be able to take them with me. 19 Some other person will control everything I worked and studied for. And I don’t know if that person will be wise or foolish. This is also senseless.
20 So I became sad about all the work I had done. 21 People can work hard using all their wisdom and knowledge and skill. But they will die and other people will get the things they worked for. They did not do the work, but they will get everything. That makes me very sad. It is also not fair and is senseless.
22 What do people really have after all their work and struggling in this life? 23 Throughout their life, they have pain, frustrations, and hard work. Even at night, a person’s mind does not rest. This is also senseless."

It all depends on the situation. Are they in education ? Are they trying to find an job ? Do they do anything to improve their life ? Do they do hobbies regularly or just lay around ? Do they have any form of income at all ? Do they have any health problems physical or mental ? Not enough information is provided to give an helpful answer.

There is such a person in my family. She trained to be a nurse and worked as such for awhile, but then she began having problems and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Our parents took care of her and she makes periodic attempts to work, but the illness overwhelms her when meds need to be adjusted. I’m not sure what will happen when our father’s gone. 😞

Do you think you will always be self-sufficient? The person you help today may well be the one who will help you in the future.
