<prompt> Human: Im disabled, severely so, I dont like or want to go into detail but it is highly unlikely that I would ever be able to work on a consistent basis because at any time my disease can flair up and put me 100 bedbound for months until it is controlled again. So normal employment just isnt a feasible option at least for the time being.I can earn small amounts of money making crafts that I sometimes sell online but its never more than say 50 dollars in a month which usually goes right back into supplies to make more crafts, so really its just a hobby that pays for itself I think since I even acquire the materials for my crafts in the most effective way possible and its just not enough extra money to save, it normally ends up paying for something I need but have gone without because of being so poor.Im sure everyone knows that the amount of assistance someone gets being disabled is really enough to pay your bills and that is all. Maybe some people are lucky to have spare money, I am not. My internet connection comes with my rent payment, it is not extra, so its not an added expense. The computer I use is the property of someone else, so its not mine to even go out and sell. I do not spend any money on food as I get enough food support money and am able to budget it enough.I would say at the end of a month I might possibly have between 5-15 dollars that is not used up on rent, a bus pass that is highly discounted due to being disabled, my phone which is the cheapest plan that is available and comes with zero bells and whistles it is essentially for emergencies. And the co pays that I pay for from my insurance, depending on what doctors I must see that month.My personal hygiene items, any clothing I get, even any entertainment I get are free items from charities or like something my case manager hooks me up with like free movie tickets or if a friend happens to offer to take me out to eat. Anyway...I guess you cant make money grow when you have nothing to spare, I try to keep my spare 5-15 dollars as an emergency fund but it usually is eaten up because things do happen--not like omg I need to have some fun and Im gonna waste money on something petty more like, a medication costs a little extra or I dunno but ACTUAL emergencies. I have everything I NEED, but Im just frustrated, I understand this form of aide is just to pay my essentials until such a time that I can work again, the thing is I may never be able to have that kind of actual gainful employment, and the reality makes me sad. I wish there was something I could put even the tiniest amount of effort into that might earn me something but every time I have tried even simple jobs, my disease will relapse and I am stuck with not having the ability to recover because the government takes away most of my aide once I can work so its not like ...ohh i have 2-3 months of money I earned to now saveinvestwhatever, its more...no I have to use that for my bills and yet again end up with just a few dollars to spare, same as before.Schoolingtraining to be able to do a better job is currently, from what I have been told by researching and calling out of the question, I have had my student loans pardoned because a doctor signed I was not able to work to pay them off and according to FAFSA and whoever else I have spoken to, a doctor would have to say I am now able to work again and then I could possibly? have to pay back the previous loans and even if I could, my disease has no cure and no doctor would sign because no I am NOT better nor able to pay these back. Now I couldve gotten bad advice in the past. Im not interested in talking specifically about my disability or having it questioned. Point blank I have a severe debilitating health problem not a mental illness, think rare autoimmune disorder that often makes me so incapacitated that all i am capable of is sleep and lifes basic daily activities for months on end, and then am at some point able to return to normal, but the stress of work usually can actually trigger a relapse all on its own.Anyway am I just doomed to barely exist? Or is there some NOT magic cure to this kind of life, but maybe something in my situation I could do to improve my financial situation? I dont care or want to be rich, just wish I could afford to one day buy my own hygiene items or afford semi nicer things, or possibly turn a little money into more money. I dont mean to come off as lazy, I would work hard if I was able to, and I would put whatever effort I could into something, but most of the time I feel like I have nothing to pull from and you cant make something out of nothing...or can you?EDITUPDATE:just wanted to say thanks for the ideas, dont really have the energy today to reply individually so wanted to say thank you all for responding. :  <response>: Create intellectual property that will pay you royalties. You have buckets of free time and the security of knowing your basic needs will be met. If you have a relapse you can put a project on hold till you recover. Even if you dont make much money the joy of creating will give your life meaning and purpose and keep you mentally engaged.
