I've been on SSI for a long time, but it's leaving me unsatisfied with my life. I lost my last two jobs, including an AmeriCorps position that I only lasted for two weeks at, because of my poor physical shape. My degree is Zoology and I have extensive bird/animal knowledge... Extensive as in high suspected aspie by pretty much everyone, and also my BP to deal with...

Anyway there is a long-term, but part time AmeriCorps at a zoo that said that if their funding comes through I would probably be hired along with 15 other people. Anyway AmeriCorps I'm attracted to because those positions you can get a small stipend and earn experience, but keep your disability and medical benefits. I did bring up what happened with the one last year and the zoo said they could easily accommodate my limitations...

I've had highly similar internships/jobs in the past, but like over 10 years ago before my bipolar really hit me bad. I'm nervous as hell, and I'm currently a caretaker for a very ill husband, but he's willing to have someone else take care of him to see me suceed, but I have guilt...

Help!
