I stopped working in 2012, after 22 years military service and six years civil service. There's no way I can go back to my old job, and I don't really have any other specialized training or school to do anything else. I also have chronic low back pain so even if I was mentally stable I may not be physically stable anyway.

I have disability, which pays the bills and has kept a roof over our heads. Still, it's short sometimes.

I would like to work but now it's more important to stay sane than to be employed.
