I'm mid needs AuDHD with chronic pain syndrome (in receipt LCWRA + PIP), my partner works (from home) full time. I got my undergrad degree in August, and have been looking for remote masters degrees to give myself a better chance of finding a suitable job. Discussed with UC, got told that they'd deduct more than I even get each month, even if someone (family) paid my tuition for me, so I can't do a MA. I feel so deflated, all I wanted was to better my chances and get out of the system eventually instead of feeling trapped at home with a bleak outlook on my future.
I'm safe and have a therapist so my mental health is somewhat in-check, I just feel crushed that the one thing I wanted to do both out of interest and as an opportunity to better myself has been taken away from me.
