Venting Having a source of income would literally solve 99.9% of my problems

Think something like UBI or a windfall. I'm apparently not disabled enough to be on disability, but too disabled to be fucking employable.
When I say almost all problems, I literally mean it. It sure wouldn't cure my autism or ADHD and all, but it would make coping so much more bearable.
A grocery store is too loud? I could go outside of rush hours. Or choose smaller and more expensive stores. Or heck, even pay someone to deliver my groceries.
Food is no longer safe? Just buy something else without worry.
I would still happen to feel like my skin is too small or that I've got too many limbs. But that's no problem compared to being literally fucking unemployable or enough trauma for numerous daily flashbacks.
Plus no stress about everything that money can buy would be huge. Getting little treats, affording hobbies and hyperfixations, giving back to causes I care about.

I totally feel you. I often imagine having a decent, steady income each month, and I do think that my suicidal urges would quickly lessen. I don't think they'd go away totally, but they'd seriously dampened and I'd be able to fill my life with meaningful activities, travel etc.

Speak to AI and ask it if you qualify for any social welfare benefits. I did and I couldn't believe what I qualified for and where to get it. Social welfare in Switzerland... Yeah... Poverty is purely optional for citizens. The safety net is basically a very high student lifestyle...
