If you have a disability and were fired because of it should you go on disability or unemployment?
Let's say you have fibromyalgia bad. In bed 24/7, severe pain, brain fog, physically unable to stand, reading is difficult etc you're basically a vegetable.
Should you try to heal on disability or should you go on unemployment and force yourself through another full time job when you're really sick? I was fired because I kept writing down the wrong information, I couldn't remember anything that someone was telling me because I only get 2-3 hours of broken up sleep a night and I also couldn't even stand up because I felt really dizzy, even passed out twice on the job but my work fired me because I couldn't do the job and it was just an office job answering phones and greeting people. The pain is the issue It's so severe I cry every day and no pain meds help.
I'm trying to heal my body so I'm hoping if I go on disability I can work on that then get a job. I still get a monthly paycheck because I used to have a youtube channel and my videos are still up and earn me $. So I do have a tiny income. I'm 21 and live with my family. They don't really care about me though they just let me stay in my room.
What do you think? Disability or should I go on unemployment and look for a job? I tried working as a rep online in customer service before my office job and I failed that too because I couldn't think straight or had dizzy episodes where I felt spaced out while texting a customer
