<human>: I've been a Democratic Socialist since high school (now in my 20s), and I have always felt that the government should help people who cannot help themselves. My sister is mentally disabled and gets SSI. My mother has a heart disease and also receives it. My friend was denied, and she has a skin disease that affects standing for long periods of time. I didn't wanna be a dick, but I agreed with their decision. She now has an office job and does fine.

Last year I got diagnosed with a life-changing auto immune disease called IC. It's a bladder disease that causes urinary frequency and chronic pain. I have been going to the doctor almost 2x a month for a year with 3 surgeries and 10+ medication trials. Still have not found a therapy, and this is common. :( I am seeing a new doctor next month though!

Anyways, people with my issue get denied 90% of the time for disability. My doctor straight up told me all his patients have been denied twice. I don't wanna go on it because I feel humiliated and want to be able to work. I worked hard for my BS and feel useless now. Sigh. Though lately the pain is taking it's toll, but I don't wanna hire a lawyer.

Meanwhile, my friends are married 1+ years and have a 6 month old. Both are college drop outs. My buddy got fired this year from Time Warner for calling off when his wife was pregnant. I've been fired for dumber. Anyways, now they are both working part time and raking in the benefits from the government (cash assistance, food stamps,etc) He told me they will do this as long as they can instead of both getting FT jobs. It's total bullshit.

They are just using our taxes to support themselves because they are lazy. Meanwhile, it would probably take me over a yer to get disability and $$$ for a lawyer. I won't do it until I feel I've exhausted all my options from my doctors. :( It just sucks that my state doesn't even offer temporary disability.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: I am a democratic socalist but my friends are hardcore abusing the system. Meanwhile, I can't get disability even if I tried. I can kinda see the other point of view now.
