Isn't UNTREATED mental illness the greater risk in these occupations? Why should these people forgo health care out of dread terror of being fired?

IMHO it's not right. Time for change!

I feel like I have backslided badly. Of course, this most certainly isn't the first time. I have built myself up numerous times to be knocked down to my knees.

More concerning, this time I am engaged to be married.

I have a multitude of different mental illnesses and developmental disabilities. I have been hospitalized involuntarily countless times. Although I am socio-emotionally retarded, I am very knowledgeable, skilled, and talented in a wide array of career-oriented hard skills. From previous healthcare experience to having a strong software developer skillset, I feel I am capable of making a difference and being successful. At 30, I can say I have both saved lives and worked on projects for multi-billion dollar companies. That is not just a measly milestone.

As it stands today, I am broke, rely on the benevolence of others, live at home, and sit alone at the house in self-pity. My fiance hasn't moved in with me yet full time.

My doctor has referred me to a specialized medical facility due to being such a complicated case. I am awaiting a call.

I am 30, engaged to be married, and drowning financially.

I have had a very turbulent career, despite my career being part of my identity. I am on the Autistic Spectrum with severe mental illness, and I have never been able to hold down a job for more than a year. I have had over 25 jobs since age 15.

I have already changed career paths before. A combination of the Xiden regime, the recent election year, and the disruption in the tech sector, I was fucked royally when I lost my job back in mid-July of last year. I am now reliant on social security disability, and I am fearful to pursue my career further because I risk losing my only health insurance: Medicare.

I am now living at my parent's house. At least I have my own autonomous living area. I don't see myself being able to afford homeownership in the near future. I am actually struggling to pay my bills and the only few assets I have: a car and an old RV.
