@amay206 @linseigh I know. That's how society will always view disabled people. Even tried to make money on the side doing side jobs and I couldn't even do that.
@linseigh the real issue, unfortunately, is rare I'm located. I am in the US in a Bible belt state, so I'm kind of screwed if I don't move, but I don't have the ability to add the moment. I've heard the UK is amazing when it comes to programs like this. I think I read somewhere that 13% of the work force in the UK is disabled.
@linseigh I forgot his name and I believe the program is no longer in existence due to funding problems
@joshroxs123_ @linseigh A wheelchair is definitely not a limitation. Certainly wasn't for Madison Cawthorn or Greg Abbott.
@linseigh yeah but the problem is I had a lot of connections back in 2017-2018 because of my professors but now I don't have those connections. So I'm not sure what to do about that.
@linseigh yeah. It is my ultimate goal to be able to run for congress and change the laws surrounding the ADA and Medicaid. Just because I am in a wheelchair and have limitations, doesn't mean that I can't hold a job (at least part time), and be able to be paid just like anyone else. I could easily do IT what's the issues.
@linseigh and I was basically like"Yeah I know there is an income limit that's why I wanted to change it, but you won't give me the opportunity to do so".
@linseigh I can sympathize with gastrointestinal stuff. I have GERD where somettimes my stomach acid well come out my throat and and I will get really sick.
@linseigh oh my God that is totally how I feel. I was studying paralegal technologies (sorry for the super long delay in replying; I was eating and I y am using speech recognition to type). I worked my ass off in that program and I had a 4.0 GPA and I was basically promised a job at the end of the course by the head of the program, but when it came to the last day, yes he suddenly switched gears and told me he could not help me because I am on Medicaid there is an income limit… Frustrating.
@joshroxs123_ Haha it’s funny because right now, I am going through the same thing. I think a lot of the issue is that those of us who deal with different disabilities are at a higher risk for mental health issues. I am almost positive my lack of motivation is coming from depression. But I also see it as a boomerang effect: there is a period where you are paralyzed with hopelessness, but eventually, you will be able to bounce back. It comes in dips & peaks
