I'm 23. I have bipolar II on top of narcolepsy. I have only ever been able to work part time. I just quit recently because the company was horrible and it was making everything I had a million times worse. The side effects of the medicines I was taking made me miss so many days too. Even working part time, it consumed all of my time because the narcolepsy forced me to sleep the rest. I don't want a life like that. I can't handle people anymore though because of the way I was treated at my previous job, so when I look for a job again, I will be finding something with as little interaction as possible.

I can't go to school anymore because I have no money and my parents cant pay for me. I did not qualify for any FAFSA. Even though I managed to get a 4.0 GPA for my first 2 years of college there's no financial aid for part time students or for my disabilities. I refuse to go into debt because I have seen what it has done to others. It's an awful messed up system we are in.

I'm very talented in writing and illustration, always have been, so now I am pursuing that from home. I'm so grateful my mom is such a good person and I am able to do this. I hate those disgusting parents out there that disown their kids due to health issues.
