This was a really intriguing read and i must congratulate you for opening up and talking about these said issues.
Honestly the UK benefit system is a joke i used it when i left college for basic income before i found a job and i found them to be uselss not once did i feel helped by them at finding me work or even trying to offer some support.
It it so rubbish that the people who tell you that you are well can overdide doctors who have evidence to say that you clearly arnt well.
sorry to hear about your struggles, hope the VR chat worlds get better and if you ever want someone to lurk with ill happily join even if its silent and we watch movies/tv
Yeah, I honestly wish I could turn back time and do a number of things differently.. like keep the 5BTC I owned at one point.. or actually have the balls to invest into BTC when it was at it's lows a few years back..
Because I all really want in life is to not have to be on benefits. I've spent the last 20+ years trying to find some way I can make a living but so far nothing really has worked, I'm just to broken to make anything work.
I accumulated so much hive hoping it'd take off and I'd be 'set for life' but that didn't happen.. Well it's nearly got there with the $3 prices but didn't last long enough to get much out of it.
The one thing that has made some progress is streaming but it's like going from a payout every 2 years to a payout every 4-8 months. It's something I guess but can't live off of that.
Never got lucky with winning any lottery either, stopped wasting money on those a while back.
Turning things into a living also tends to suck the fun out of them too.
Which ever way I think about it I can't find a solution.
