So yesterday I made a deal with my mom, because like I want to come to her house on weekends--she has food, and Baby. So she said she'd come pick me up, but I had to go with her to the Bruce Springsteen exhibit at the National Constitution Center. I had something else I'd wanted to try to do that evening, but it turned out of COURSE she gave the ( Read more... )

Words of wisdom for little tiny Gloria:

1. If the price of admission to an exhibit is too high, do not go to the exhibit.
2. If a security guard is enforcing a rule, you must obey it regardless of whether you think the rule is necessary.
3. Even people with mental illness are capable of obtaining and maintaining full-time jobs.

1. It wasn't "too high", it was just overly expensive. We didn't know that the contents of the exhibit would be not worth the money, we couldn't have known until after we saw what was inside if it was worth the money.
2. I did :p
3. That's funny, my doctor disagrees, and if that were true, nobody would ever receive SSI or disability for mental illness reasons. That's not to say that simply having any mental illness at all precludes working. But having severe mental illness that causes you to freak out every day and have trouble going anywhere and doing basic things does.

1. "Overly expensive" is the same as saying "too high." Additionally, in times of poverty, a trip to the Constitution Center should be out of the question, no matter how great the trip would be. In a choice of food vs. museum, food typically wins.
2. The rules apply to everybody. The guard did not have laser vision; he was merely doing his job.
3. Even people with mental illnesses can adapt to repetition of routine activities -- i.e., working for a living. Rather than quitting a job after a few hours, days or weeks because one doesn't think one should have to work, one should realize that one is very intellgent, able-bodied and capable of working. One can and must do it, and one will be glad one did it.

I worked at my job over a year. I quit once it became impossible for me to continue. One must do it when one CAN, but when a physician and other experts have deemed it impossible, one must simply try to work on one's mental health, and in the meantime wait for Social Security to approve their claim, and do positive things for their mental health ( ... )
