I don't want to work because I have a bad memory and a learning disability. The information just goes through one ear and out the other like nothing. It's also hard for me to focus. I get distracted and lose interest very fast. I also can't wake up. I drink a lot of coffee but I guess now that my body is used to it, it doesn't do anything to me or thats not it? I don't know, but I can't find something that will wake me up and focus right away. I'm either hella sleepy and tired or just plain bored. No I don't want to take stupid drugs. I'll go work out and that gives me a lot of energy but that's usually later in the evening. Plus, even if I am awake, i still have to deal with all those other problems. Overall, I just feel like I am mentally challenged and idk what's the right job for someone like that. I feel like I'll never find a good job that I actually like and will benefit me so I have no other choice but to always rely on the man I date. I plan to marry a rich guy who knows what he wants and is confident and understands my situation and accepts me for who I am...unless I find a solution right now. But I don't know what that is...

    You should start seeking out alternatives right now. Planning to rely on men to take care of you is a really horrible goal.

    Nobody want's to work. Not all jobs are for everyone so find something that you're good at. I get disability, but it hardly pays anything and I do side things such as produce bands and dj gigs. I do not plan to be on disability my whole life because I want to make more money than I do and I cannot get it if I have a good job.
    I make about $700 a month by the way from disability and anything extra is random. I was not able to maintain a normal job before but there are things that I specialize in that I could make a fortune doing if I had the connections such as audio production and physics. Unfortunately they expect me to have a college degree for those things and school just isn't happening for me because I would be required to pass classes that I am challenged in so I understand that society is quite discriminating against learning disabilities. My IQ tests on various subjects range from around 40 to 180 while most people are consistently around 100 with everything.

    Maybe you could get a job where you get paid for coming up with excuses.

      These aren't excuses. These are real issues. I have applied I have scored interviews and in person is when it all falls down. These issues interfere with regular, daily tasks! They might not sound so big of a deal to stop me from working but these are issues that socially interfere and when that happens, it makes a huge impact. Sh*t if I were making excuses and there were jobs like that I wouldn't be here talking about my problems. I would be working!

    For someone with "a bad memory and a learning disability" this post is probably one of the most literate and well thought out posts I have read on IIN. That leads me to believe that you have neither " a bad memory and a learning disability", but just don't apply yourself, if you don't wish to.
    Your idea of marrying for money is ludicrous and more than likely will not turn out well for you or the man.
    You need to buckle down and force yourself to do those things everybody else has to do to survive (get a job, a residence and care for yourself), so you will have some self confidence and self respect.

    Before the "Equal Rights" movement your dream would be a reality.

    George W Bush. He had a job. There is hope.

    There's no reason to work. Learn how to live on the cheap. Relish your laziness. Indulge your lack of ambition. Accept being dirty, bored, and aimless. Be satisfied with your mind numbing unhappiness. Hopelessness is your friend.

    Talk to an actual doctor before you start self-diagnosing.

    Well, if you intend to get disability then you will most likely need to be medicated and in psychotherapy.

    The majority of "rich men" aren't looking for a gold digger unless of course they're very emotionally unhealthy and controlling types who will toss you out like used toilet paper as soon as they get tired of you. No healthy man will want someone who intends to use him for money and can't at least try to put some effort into a relationship.
