First I would like to consider how diverse the intensity of feeling and thought can be towards an individual. Event or challenge X can be of less or increased intensity requiring more willpower and work than the other individual based on relative circumstances.
Below is just a personal and specific example. I am not looking for sympathy or psychiatric help, although the paragraph may appear that way. This is simply a fairly detailed explanation to get the point across.
For example, for the past decade I have have been diagnosed with relatively every anxiety disorder with an explicit social phobia and OCD. My social and environmental phobias are extreme that some days I cannot leave my apartment or merely step outside if the weather is a certain way. I.E, the optimum place for bees. I get an intense sickness in my stomach, increased heart rate and a reaction to stimulai that simulates fear but without any explicit reason applied to it. The abstrat concept incites anxiety and other symptoms. I'm on medication and have gone through therapy which has helped, however I have tried to go through the workplace multiple times. Within the first day I already obsess and worry about having to do another days of labour the next day. The place itself then gives me an intense, intrinsic fear along with previously mentioned symptoms such as stomach sickness. Feelings like this are instantly relieved when said environment is left. It's sort of like waking up from your worst nightmare and being relieved that it wasn't real. I would love to have a steady career or maintain a job but it is a legitimate, daunting challenge that I have made multiple attempts at.
Considering, what I would feel, the intense trouble I have in day-to-day social activities, am I therefore justified to be on welfare and live off of your tax money? Are others with symptoms such as mine or those who literally cannot interact with reality properly (e.g, forms of autism) be a legitimate excuse?
