I may need to use the welfare system for cash assistance as I just got fired from my job . I have bipolar or schizoaffective..well..one of those two and it did cause problems in my working life.

Yeah I had the go on 'the system' after I fell into a depressive state at 19; dropped out of college, couldn't hold down a job etc..
Community health resources- Depending on your area can be pretty unhelpful. At the end of the day your the one who has to explain to a future employer why you didn't work for 6 months here & there..
Despite what you may think. Its NEVER a good idea to mention your psychological troubles to an employer. I haven't used prescribed medication for 4 years, and can cope pretty well with the rigueurs of life.
As soon as you get labeled by an MD. Your snookered pal.
My advice-- Keep the head down until its time to go home. Change your diet and exercise. Just take your mind off yourselfHealth Question & Answer

Yes I do.. I'm a single mother of 2 girl's. My oldest daughter has ADHD and ODD and I have my own mental issues. So yes those services are there for people who NEED them. Some people out there do abuse them. But if your in a bind and need that help then by all means Go get it!!
