    perhaps it's a fix that you need - you know, to go, be questioned (thus attention), get the job, get excited, and then don't go cause why?  you didn't really want it in the first place.

     

    if you went to work then you wouldn't be "disabled" and have attention for your illness.

     

    It's your choice whether you work or not but if you don't really want to go to work - then stop having people take time out to go through the paperwork to offer you a job that someone else, who really wanted the job, got kicked to the curb for.

     

    Not only does it waste the employer's time and paperwork, and kick someone else to the curb, but it also creates a reputation and a image of you that I do not believe (deep down) you really want to have created.
