Unemployed/ semi disabled

No one sees what you can do when you are semi-disabled. Only what you can’t. Makes me so sad and almost homeless at this point. Not sure I am going to be able to carry on.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your help. I am humbled and am crying like a baby lol. But thank you from the bottom of my heart. When I go into places people pretend not to see me. It hurts my heart but you all have made me feel good. Thank you ladies. I look forward to being able to reciprocate.

Can you share more with the group about your situation, maybe someone has good advice who has been through what you're going through. Don't give up. I tell myself the only way out is through...sending you strength.

There are many resources out there, let us know how we can help you? This person was disabled and gave me one of my favorite quotes, so don't give up hope. It got me through a tough time too. "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at, it matters that you don't just give up." - Stephen Hawking
