I just needed to vent here because it's getting to the point where going out to support myself seems completely pointless as every time I do I manage to come home in tears.

Young people get sick. Young people go on chemo. Young people become disabled.
That's ****ed up! I hope she apologized when she saw what she did, at the very least. That's harassment! Perhaps you can get a bumper sticker that says, "yes, I really am disabled, thanks" or something similar- adding a brief description. But really, you shouldn't have to. I'm sorry you have to deal **** this BS.
