Still upset about what my friend said last night. I somewhat gave up on our closeness a while ago since he got into a relationship.
But to think that someone you considered family thinks so little of your capabilities is hurtful.
Full disclosure: I’m on disability support pension. The way it works is if you’re employed you report your income and if something happens, you don’t have to reapply.
So when he said “maybe you should just stay on DSP”, it was like a knife in the chest.
It hurts when the people we expect to support our endeavors shit all over them instead.
Fuck what he said. You want a job in the field you know. You’ve done it before, you can get another one too. Use his shithouse attitude as your motivator, prove him wrong. You are intelligent and clever, capable. I believe in you!
Sadly it is. It’s my own fault for letting these people into my life. But sometimes you’re desperate just to have friends. Especially when you don’t have family.
Have you looked into insurance attached to your super? Being on DSP means you’re almost certainly eligible for a TPD claim if you were covered when you last stopped work. Returning to work may void your potential to make a claim for TPD in future. Claiming TPD also does not mean that you aren’t allowed to return to work in future. AMA (anyone) this is something I know lots about

Sorry for the rant, but it’s been bugging me.

Thank you for your kind words ❤️
This isnt the same guy who uses you as an emotional support pillow, right?

I hear you. And I get it, I do. It’s just that from what you’ve said about this dude it really sounds like he’s more antagonist than companion.
I just want to tell you I’m barracking for you. ♥
Thank you so much. It means a lot ❤️
