Hey, jrae,

You sure you can't work at anything at all? The reason I ask is because to an outsider like me, who knows nothing else about you, that seems like the easiest way out, if it's possible. Any kind of paid employment at all.

If your psych situation really makes that impossible, have you talked to any of the counselors at your local county or state social work office? There are other people in your situation with whom those people have dealt and they have a pretty good idea what's possible and what's not.

Your folks don't sound particularly sympathetic. Is there a reason for that? Is there some kind of bad blood between you? Have they tried to help you find help? A job? Advice?

What education do you have? What job experience? What's your psych diagnosis? Are you in therapy now? All these things affect not only what outside experts will tell you but also what you'll hear here on PC.

Look forward to reading your reply! Take care!
