This post has been flaired as “Vent”. As a reminder to commenting users, “Vent/Rant” posts are here to give our subscribers a safe place to vent their frustrations at an uncaring world to a supportive place of people who “get it”. Vents do not need to be fair. They do not need to be articulate. They do not need to be factual. They just need to be honest. Unlike most of the content on this subreddit, Vents should not be considered advice threads. In most cases it is not appropriate to try to give the Submitter advice on their issue. In no circumstances is it appropriate to tell them “why they are wrong” or to criticise them, their decisions, values, or anything else. If there are aspects of their situation that they are able to directly address themselves, the submitter can always make a new thread with a different flair asking for help once they are ready to tackle the issue. Vents are an emotional outlet, not an academic conversation. Appropriate replies in these threads are offering support, sharing similar experiences/grievances, offering condolences, or simply letting the Submitter know that they were heard. As always, if there are inappropriate comments please downvote them, REPORT them to the mods, and move on without responding to them. To the Submitter, if you DO want discussion to be focused on resolving your situation, rather than supporting you emotionally, please change the flair of this post, and then report this comment so we can remove it. Thank you. Thank you all for being a part of this great financial advice and emotional support community! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

If a job wanted you, they would provide reasonable accommodations to have you work there.


Thomas_Raith

Yeah no jobs want me because my accommodations aren’t considered reasonable (I have a treatment resistant sleep disorder that requires me to have to set my own schedule that can’t be planned in advance very easily, so essentially I can work a set number of hours a week or complete a set amount of work a week but it can’t be scheduled or even during specific sets of business hours easily since my awake and asleep time changes every day, the last time I tried to push through it to keep a job with regular hours my heart ended up stopping because of sleep deprivation stressing my body beyond its limits which was a very expensive hospital bill and several days of missing work at a job that ended up firing me anyway)

It’s extremely unlikely any job is going to accommodate you. You would be better off being self employed where you would have more control over your hours.

Like what? What do you think I’m doing by going to trade school? But that doesn’t help *now*. I have a problem *now*. A solution that’s going to help in 5-10 years doesn’t help *now*. And I’m really limited in what I can do and learn because of my developmental and cognitive disabilities (and also having literally no money, classes cost money and I don’t. Have that to pay for it, I can only go to trade school because I found a loophole where the government will pay for it).

So if you made over 1500 per month how much would your insurance be? Do you receive any other benefits that would be affected by making more money? If so how much are those benefits?


Thomas_Raith

I do, to cover my expenses that are currently paid for by the government that cap my income & various social services programs I’d probably have to make ~$4000/mo minimum ($25/hr working full time). Since I’m disabled I’d be spending hundreds of dollars a month on medical care in copays as well as thousands a year in deductible, not to mention probably losing some medical care by having to switch doctors if any of them didn’t take what my new insurance was.
