Welcome to PC!! What are you passionate about? Is there any job that you can see yourself being able to do that you will love? I don't know much about CP but I would guess that it would be possible to get disability for it but if you can find satisfying employment that is much better for you in the end.

In my life I have had many set backs due to illness and have had many periods of unemployment but I keep fighting and getting up and trying to find a meaningful life for myself. I have to compromise a lot though and be realistic. Right now I am on disability but work 11 hours a week in retail (not a passion of mine but I need the money and having employment of some sort is good for me for many reasons) and I also am studying Writing at university. It took me 4 years to complete the first year of the degree so I have not idea if I will be able to finish it but trying is giving me purpose. One day at a time is the way to go.
