why is everyone pressurising me into getting a job?

my parents, my psychiatrist, my occupational therapist, theyre all like you should do this and that to get a job..... im sick though and sick people dont work, i just want an easy life, where i dont have to go out to work everyday and can just laze about being ill and all that... anyhow the government still say im too ill to work and thats all that matters really, as long as my disability benefits keep rolling in ill be fine, but if my psychiatrist says im well enough to work at some point then ill be out the door and into the real world,i hope that day does not come soon

wishing yourself to stay ill simply so you don't have to work... pathetic

you'd drop that attitude quick if you had to suffer through an actual injury...

I have an inoperable neck injury due to fractured 5th and 6th vertebra, a lower back that still contains bits of shrapnel to this day, arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc.

I'd want nothing more than to be perfectly healthy and working without pain again...

@wildbill83 would you wish it though?!

@JovialPlutonian absolutely, you know how humiliating it is to see someone twice your age get around better than you do?
