What to do with crazy people

I'm super messed up, there is no way I could function in society off my meds.. and the meds Im on have lots of side effects.. some people like to go off their meds and some don't.. I don't.. if I was any more messed up OR if I was off my meds, I'm sure they would take my drivers license away..

some people tell those with lots of problems, go get a job.. well what kind of jobs are there, where they will put up with lots of issues with the extremists.. sure, Id like to be working.. but I can't..

at least I have my media hobby, and maybe I can make some money workin on that someday

I could list my disorders again, but most of ya'll wouldnt know what they are all about.. like PTSD, everyone knows where it comes from to a point, but unless you have it, its hard to understand whats going on.. thankfully.. next month I qualify for med marijuana in Texas, only problem is I might have to drive 2 hrs, cuz none of the dr.s in my area have signed up with this Texas Compassionate Use Program.. I would choose Corpus Christi over San Antonio probably..
 
I was just thinking about what might be my best story working at the Austin State Hospital.. I got one in my head that is top 5 at least.. I heard about this big guy who was very delusional to the extreme.. he was telling people he was in the NFL a long time, and all kinds of crazy stuff.. I sat down with him for about an hour,.. his stores were so convincing that when I got back to my office I did a search.. and found pics of him, in some of the articles I read,.. he really did play for 6 years for 4 different teams, and he really did get paid millions of dollars.. most of his outrageous stories I believe are true.. in total I must have given him an hour at a time, like 6 or 7 different times..

You are full of excuses. If you have a driver's license and are functional enough to post here and play games with your video camera and demonstrate with your boy-scout group, you can take a job. You can work nights pushing a broom or unloading trucks. You are weak. And now you want the gov't to fund a pot habit.

Eat shit and die. Or man up and many here would be supportive in many ways.

There you go - proof that your Certified Peer Support Specialist gig was a make-believe job. One crazy getting paid to speak with other crazies.

Pull your ass up out of the gutter, you weakling.

yeah, well if I just had mental problems, I would be working construction or something.. but I'm also physically handicapped.. I have a handicapped placard and everything.. I have a few conditions, the main reason being that I don't have a good sense of balance at all anymore, I cant even balance on a bicycle.. I fall like once a month now when walking around , I used to fall once a week.. another is Diabetic Neuropathy.. another is that I had reconstructive surgery on my left foot and ankle, cuz it was much worse.. when they wanted to go back and do the right one I refused.. I did not want to go through that again.. my ankles and knees arent doing to well, but what can you expect at 290 pnds, eh? I've worked for 2 different gas stations.. I could do that but you can't sit down at the register.. if all I had was average mental problems I think I would still be with the IRS, but mine usually mean being committed permanently.. thats what made me such a valuable peer support specialist, lots of "crazies" would realize they could function in the real world too (maybe)
 
I worked at Dell.. than the irs offered me about 5 dollars more an hour, I showed it to human resources at dell, and they would not give me a raise.. so I told them I was leaving and gave my 2 weeks notice.. they said don't bother, but they would put on my record that I was willing to stay.. After a season at the IRS.. which I didnt like.. I went back to Dell for a while.. but my boss liked to yell at everyone.. and I couldnt deal with that.. then they announced the building I was in would be closed down, eventually people were just soo bitter, I left..

years later I went back to the IRS.. sometimes, when needed they would transfer me to an area which was all handicapped people.. I actually enjoyed working with them a bunch.. but management including upper management would not let me transfer to that area, taking such a huge pay cut..

after leaving the IRS I tried getting a simple job, applying for greeter positions at a few places.. once they saw my resume, they said I was way too qualified, and they couldnt try me out with 1/2 the pay I was used to.. this also happened at a few convenient stores (at first both chains said I could sit on a stool)

I'm open to ideas within reason, but now I'm in a border city, and my Spanish is terrible

I'm all about the hard truth if it helps. Camaro Genius comes to mind, and of course Action Fab, not that either one of them ever took any advice they received. Arty is dealing with some stuff most of don't have to deal with. I've had my ass kicked by life plenty and have always pulled myself up, not like I'm setting any world records or anything, but people like Arty, and McButtsex, it's not as easy for them, or maybe flat impossible. I dunno, I've never met either of them, it could all be BS, but I don't think so.

What Farty and Buttsex have in common is that it is always someone else's fault. They are helpless, like Csikszentmihalyi's rats. No one has it by the golden tit. Some may be more fortunate, and others even less so. It's a sliding scale. The difference is that some people drive on, and others give up.

Buttsecks I think may have had a legit deficiency

Arti is somewhere between inversed imposter syndrome + pathological issues + grandiose delusions

They both have issues. One is the kid who wants to be normal, but just can't, the other is the type who cocks off and falls back on "I'm handicap, you can't do/say x" while incessantly poking the bear.

Fuck the drags on society. I don't care if they're family or not. Turn them into charcoal and bring back steam engines. If I fit that description, I'll be motivated to fix my shit.

so I did a search on those first three terms.. I really don't think you know what the first two mean.. doesnt sound relevant.. the third is a classic schizo term.. I get delusional about lots of stuff, I can't help but to think this is the night Im gonna win the lotto.. I'm gonna help lots of people if we hit it big.. I spend 600 a year on megamillions and powerball.. I can't quit.. Ive tried.. I play mega twice a week.. I pay the extra dollar to megaply the winning amount.. so thats 3 dollars twice a week.. and I powerplay the powerball (same multiplying scheme) 3 dollars 2 times a week.. so thats 12 dollars a week.. times 52 weeks

as far as that next comment, I try and fight the many problems in my life but its a loosing battle.. and I don't try to just get along as usual, cuz I often screw that up.. I think its harder to fit in on here, or other places based on lacking word communication skills.. in person its a lot easier to fake it, until I say or do something stupid..

Do one over on texas and make it legal to shoot trespassers and thieves.

Yes, it will result in a lot of senseless deaths of arguably innocent people. No, I can't bring myself to care too much.

Prolly have to tie it into some fencing, posting and gating requirement, but...
