    People vastly underestimate the influence of chronic illness when it comes to adverse living situations

    When you’re struggling to be productive and work due to health reasons, society treats you like trash, and often won’t give you the support you need. And this is a lot more common than people are willing to admit

    • As a formerly homeless person with some sort of chronic illness, yep.

      I made it out, but the absolute anxiety of always falling back into poverty weighs heavy. I truly don’t think I can do it again.
