Hey anons, any other crippled NEETs out there? It feels like most people I've seen online who are NEETs struggle with mental illness/disability. There's a lot of overlap in the limitations between being mentally or physically limited but I've been wondering if anyone is in a situation more like mine.
Two years ago I broke my neck and I ended up completely losing everything I had going on in my life. I had a degree, a solid job, then I had to move back in with my parents away from all my friends, and my gf of eight years broke up with me and kept my cat. Since then I have been on disability bux and have no intentions of returning to work. My parents care for me and I can do essentially nothing for myself besides limited tech use
My life is much less stressful now that I'm not working but I have no idea how to handle how deeply sad, bored, and lonely I am. Without the use of my legs or hands there's not much I can do to stay entertained and it's so humiliating not being able to take care of yourself. I'm bound to my chair or my bed and never leave my room except for doctor's appointments. I'm able to use my phone to get on the web, text, read books, and watch movies or YouTube but nothing really keeps my attention anymore
Anyone else here deal with physical disabilities or some sort of similar situation that has advice? My parents are quickly aging and it's difficult to imagine a future where my only option is to live in a nursing home let alone have a fulfilling life. Tried therapy once and it didn't go well. I'm not going to do it but I can't stop thinking about driving my wheelchair off a dock at a nearby body of water, my wheelchair weighs 450 lbs and would quickly sink
