I worked so hard to get a college degree. I spent 6 years getting a 4 year degree because I have numerous problems. I took out $40,000 in student loans and the only job that didn't get me into a tizzy was working part time as a bagger at a grocery store. And I had to quit that job after 4 months because all of the standing brought up an old disc injury I received back in high school football.
So what am I just supposed to do? My sister is a huge Republican and I am a little bit Democrat. If she sees that I need to go on disability then I am not going to hear the end of it. A therapist who I see thinks I have Asperger's and I agree because I have most of the symptoms. I can also get disability for that. But I really don't want to although I may not have much of a choice because it is so hard for me to handle my emotions and have good social skills.
