So, judging by my posts, it's no fucking secret that I have mental illness. eyes2 I'm really smart, though, so I am constantly walking that line between genius and madness.
I have bipolar disorder and OCD. I stopped working full time in 2006, and I went on disability from my union, which lasted a year. They helped me apply for SSD. I work part time through a government vocational rehabilitation program.
And if anyone wants to bitch about taxpayers's money, when I worked full time, I pulled in over $100,000/year. I paid my share of taxes, so you can suck my dick.
I had a phone conference today with my case manager because I want to go back to school. However, there is no money for a lower middle class childfree woman to go back to school. There's plenty of money for women with children to go back to school, though. There's plenty of incentives for them, including subsidized daycare. As a matter of fact, my case manager was FULL of state funded plans for women with children to work FULL TIME and maintain medical benefits, to get daycare, to get food, medical care, job training, support groups, etc.
I pay my bills. I take my meds. I stay out of the hospital. I work to pay for my healthcare. Why not me? How come there is nothing for me?
I wonder how many of these women on government programs actually take part in all of the wonderful assistance that is available for them?

Part of the problem is that I already am educated. I have a BS and MS, but I want to change my career.
I could do that if I had a dependent child, because the economy hits famblees much harder than single people. There are plenty of programs for single mothers and famblees who need educational assistance. However, as a single person, there are only loans for me, which I already have enough of.

I have this "job coach" who is some overworked county employee. They're supposed to assist me in career moves that keep me relatively sane and out of the hospital. I told her my career makes me more crazy. It's not like I'm working 13 hour days anymore, Im just completely cracked. I do wound care at home. I'm just sick of sick people.
The job coaches want to sit around and commiserate with me. Sometimes I feel like my life is a sitcom.
Airframe and powerplant, eh? Sounds exciting.
