Just where is that line between unwilling and unable? Serious good wishes for you. I've been working to get benefits such as food (decent), cash assistance (meager), and medical from DSHS. I'm hating every part of it! I hate hate hate having to tell each new person about what feels like personal shortcomings. I wish my leg would fall off or something so I could relax and admit to myself fully that I'm disabled.

Dunno. I know I seem to be unable to hold my life together. I'm falling apart again. I've failed at living so many times that I'm unwilling to try any more. And I know I am afraid of hard work... I want to do as litle as possible, and I don't seem to care about the consequences. It's nihilism.
But if your nihilism is part of your illness, that circles back and negates the unwilling bit again. Don't you think? I guess I just think it's important to make the distinction (at least in your own mind) between character flaws and diagnosis.
