Make up your mind who you are.
Either you are relatively sane and fit, and want careers advice, or you have decided you are mentally ill and want help getting benefits.
Make the choice.

all of this...
Plus, why have you taken the option of going back to college off the table? Did you fuck up that bad?

I believe I'm mentally ill but the SSA doesn't agree with me (so far, and I do know it's common to get rejected for benefits).
I think it'd be nice to be in cc so I'm leaning towards that. Being on disability wouldn't preclude me from being in school.

I fucked up pretty bad. Had medical withdrawals for several semesters. Just barely in continued good standing. (I'm actually pretty proud of that.)
I never truly knew what I was doing and had difficulty handling the work.
If I go back I have to really know what I'm doing and feel the desire to do so, I think. I don't right now.

Thanks for the idea. If I ever suck hard at college I am just going to get on disability. That's what I've learned from this thread.
Suck at school, work for 1yr total, say fuck all and chase SSA benefits.
Thanks, OP, you're an inspiration.
