I'm on disability for a very serious, incurable, progressive disease which effects my entire body and mind, as well as serious mental health issues related to intense trauma spanning over 30 years. I did not choose any of this and I am tortured with "living" in poverty hell AND I GET SOME HELP from family. It's still that bad. I cannot even imagine others who don't have that so I am grateful but family isn't rich.. this is just ridiculous. How is this ok? How do Federal and Provincial governments think this is all fine? They'd rather us do MAID.

I've rationed food 1.5 years so far and due to this have developed somewhat of an eating disorder. I've lost 50 lbs. since the fall alone. Food has become a trigger now. I can't handle discussing food and am dying inside if I even go into a grocery store. But hey, ordering groceries from Walmart with tip is still cheaper than going to a grocery store myself, which I do sometimes. What I do eat is obviously not proper nutrition as it has to be as cheap as possible. My disease needs MORE nutrition than a healthy person and I get way less.

I've got new health issues including a new anxiety disorder that is out of control and have to be put on new meds which will hurt my body also in general but due to my other health issues. I have had so much stress I developed psoriasis too a few months ago and now I have to wear cheap wigs and buzz my head weekly otherwise that is unbearable.

I've tried many things to make money with my disadvantages and none have worked out for various reasons. I cannot make money like a healthy person because I am not THAT IS WHY I AM ON DISABILITY DUH! How is this reality in Canada? First world my ass. Any ideas welcome or just vent, I know many are in the same boat or much wore. I'm so sorry.
