I am extremely caring and empathetic but cannot find a job; get by on mere public assistance.. no permanent disability yet.

I am 34 and sleep all day eat junk no motivation.

I have epilepsy and am on two seizure and 2 heart medications plus had an asthma attack the other day.

I try hanging out dating etc but “what do you do?” Is a big topic of discussion..

I cannot drive (legally) ànd very poor credit I already had a mini-stroke and no family left!

I have a mom and dad in old age home entering palliative care soon can barely see them they live too far unsafe for me to travel.

I am sorry to hear how bad it is and how little support you have. I can imagine it feels upsetting to have your parents entering palliative care and being unable to visit them. You mentioned that you don't have any permanent disability yet but mentioned several disabilities and medications that you take. Is it possible for you to apply for disability income?

That is terrible! January is so far away. As you mentioned you have a lawyer, is the lawyer working on trying to get the hearing fast-tracked, if not, can he?

That is really unfortunate. Does your lawyer have any suggestions for what you can do in the meantime while you wait?

No; they brushed me off the phone said they are very busy. The programs I am in have very little funding.

Omg I’m genuinely sorry to hear you’re going through all this! 

Are you able to stand up and walk normally when you are not having any seizure attacks?? If so I suggest doing that bc it will allow you to meet and become friends with others. 

Also don’t forget you always have friends here too if you want or need to, me included ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
