Thank you everyone for your support!! That means a lot to me.
If the pension goes through, that won't mean my life is "safe". I would only get a very small pension (564 € minus health insurance etc., so I don't know what will be left in the end, maybe 400€, or even less), and I would have to apply for social welfare. When I'm on that, I won't be allowed to make any extra money, they would take it away immediately. For that reason, it wouldn't make any sense at all to start selling pictures etc. at this time. These things have become so complicated here ever since we got that social aid called Hartz IV. Unless I'd make so much money that I won't need social welfare at all (which is very unlikely, especially in my bad condition), there's no use to start something like that. I wouldn't be allowed to keep it.
This link may explain the Hartz IV-concept a bit better.
