actually, since i wasnt diagnosed untill recently, i was "litterally" a sponge, since i was being given the "absolute shit minimum" payment for people who are between jobs, but has no previous paycheck to show for anything
lucky for me, i was granted a much more sensible type of payment based on faith to my word, as i explained and convinced them that i am not simply lazy, which further spurred and hurried on diagnosis, under their direction.
last 2 years have been very progressive
