With my health, I’m not allowed any stimulants. I don’t have any directives not to consume caffeine, but I wouldn’t consume large amounts. It’s one of the reasons I gave up looking for work and just said fuck it and took disability. The US has been against my health all of my life, so fuck it, I’m done fighting.
That sucks. But I get it. If I had the disability option earlier in life I may have taken it. But I didn’t know I was Autistic or ADHD or any of the other stuff. I just thought I was lazy and a bad person. And in a small town in the US it would have meant being stuck with no public transportation or enough money to really survive. I was unhoused for a bit, but got lucky an ex invited me to a city rent free for a month that I was able to find more steady work. It sucked, but I got through and ended up getting by at least until I eventually found a supportive partner to help me through the gaps. But things could definitely have turned out way different without the generosity of people around me. I hope life treats you better in the future.
