In order to feel good, it’s not enough to take care of your body and physical well-being; your mental health is equally—if not more—important, too. That’s why many people tend to change their lifestyles or take other measures to take care of their mental well-being.
Take this woman, for instance, who appeared on Caleb Hammer’s ‘Financial Audit’ show, and consequently, on his ‘Finance.Tokz’ TikTok account. Talking to the host, she shared that she considers her mental health a value and that she is not willing to put herself in a situation that is going to make it much worse. However, to that, Hammer replied that she will not be able to find a job and people in the comments had things to say, too.

I don't know what this is but I'm someone who struggles with work due to mental health reasons. I have Borderline Personality, Clinical Depression, CPTSD and severe anxiety with body dysmorphia. I also have psychotic features. Medications don't work for me. I've tried to look for work. Once I put down my diagnosis and medications on the physical for the job. They told the employer and they viewed me as a direct threat and requested letters from Healthcare professionals. I'll never disclose that information again. I'm someone who struggles with being able to function. I suffer everyday. I don't drive nor have kids due to my mental health. I don't have government insurance or Healthcare. I get help with professionals donating their time to me. I'm sober and keep fighting for wellness. I'm hopeful to eventually get and keep a part time job. I'd like that. I've been married 17 years and keep house for us. I'm co dependent and hate that he's the bread winner. I'm working on my own independence as an individual. I'm always wanted better and wellness as a whole. It's why I'm still alive. Hope in myself to overcome.
I have PTSD, extreme anxiety and panic attacks, depersonalisation-derealisation disorder(I will ask to touch your arm if I interact with you're to check if your real and open doors for the same reason), dissociative motor disorder(originally very difficult to move, now looks like tourette's that is exacerbated by anxiety(increased anxiety, increased shouting and movement, often twisting into positions that are very painful)) and finally partial dissociative identity disorder(passengers), the last one is strongly suspected(team at a primary mental health facility; need to see a specialist to confirm but who cares, already got enough tics on the clipboard). I like you really want to work, just stick me in a quiet place with a small number of people but so far they are just running me in circles, nobody wants me. Every so often a genius government employee puts me in a large fast paced job with dozens of people, watches me melt down, then quickly distances themselves from the whole sh*t show.
