How did I end up on the Gifted Kid --> Disabled Homeless Man pipeline? I'd like off now, please. : r/GiftedKidBurnouts (bonus: they are ftm!)

This person can't even be bothered to work out that disability benefit is very tightly graded so "I can't work, I'm disabled, here is my laundry list of very specific, obscure, psychiatric problems!" won't fly if they are physically able to do something like, for instance, stack shelves in a supermarket.

Lawyer knew the ropes, put her (was she a him at that stage or not, they don't say) down as "able to work", Little Ms Disabled By Super Special Trauma Even Trauma Specialists Never Saw Before freaked out.

I'm betting the reason that "whatever friends and family I had left" kicked him/her/it to the curb was because living with them, it soon became apparent they were a whiny, entitled, 'I can't do anything because I'm disabled and trans, you must unconditionally affirm me!' attention-seeker.

That line about their previous therapists and psychiatrists being unable to help them (because of their Super Special Trauma) is a dead giveaway; it means they went doctor shopping when the last therapist refused to give them the diagnosis they wanted, but since eventually all the mental help professionals said "your problem is that you're a whiny narcissist", well they just had to give up when nobody would help them "climb out of this calamitous pit".

I like the subtle emotional manipulation at the end - "I might kill myself unless you suckers send me money". Go right ahead, b-word.

I'm sure that's exactly what happened and it has nothing to do with her being perfectly fit to work.

Noooo I have fibromyalgia I can't work noooooo
