How much money does the government give people?

Well, it is much less than the minimum wage.

And, you need to think about the concept that if you accept disability as your source of sustenance, your self esteem will tend to plummet and your dreams of success at any level will be dashed.

You need to think long and hard about accepting a handout, rather than working diligently to overcome your perceived deficit, no matter the cost in effort and sacrifice.

Of course, if you have tried your best and come up short, then you can take the position of accepting assistance for a short time until you can function at an acceptable level.

The main thing is that you can take the cognitive position that you will never fully give up or give in to your mental condition.
