Be willing to part with your SSI check when the time comes to regain your mental health. Your mind will need to be disciplined, and engaged in making a living for yourself, to be in your fittest, healthiest, soundest condition. The time to learn to work and support yourself may be years, or decades up the road.
For some people getting off SSI may not be feasible. Deep misery can accumulate in a soul that avoids work for too long. Sometimes it is this misery itself that drives us back to work, when we see the misery will not abate, or heal, if we remain inactive.
If the right thought processes are created, and the right beliefs put in place, we will have no desire for dependence upon an SSI check for money. Even if the work is very difficult
If we encounter financial problems after learning to support ourselves off of SSI, we won't return to the numbing effect SSI has on the spirit. The spirit God gives us demands that we learn to help others.
Having said that, SSI is a very real need for many and may be for many long years with mental illness. Still, a mentally sound man or woman will use their mind for work that brings joy, meaning and purpose to their life.
SSI can hold us back from our best life. If we get comfortable receiving it we may miss the opportunity purposeful work can bring. We may miss the opportunity to heal the mind when the time to go to work arrives.
