I feel your pain, I am also on disability because of my mental illness and my back. I am a female and done nothing but warehouse jobs all my life. You can get a part-time job on disability, they give you 18 months to see if it works out.

Count your blessings, my career has suffered so badly I would make twice as much now if I was disabled rather than coming to work. I may have to quit in the next two weeks simply because I'm almost out of credit and won't be able to buy gas. Check out volunteer oportunities to keep you occupied and feeling good.

Maybe when you were younger you should have done something to ensure you were viable throughout your life. I'm not saying you're trash, but you should have known that whatever job you were working at hired people because they could physically handle the job and that when that goes, so goes the employee. Good luck and keep your chin up. Nobody is worthless.

I suffered a terrible lower back injury at work too. It was a long slow horribly dark recovery. I couldn't work for 3 years. Eventually it got better to where I could work again (of course not at the same place). Now I lost work through a cut in hours and I am having a terrible time finding a job. Fast food will hire those without schooling. Or the grocery store.

If you can't work and still make enough to live, you should volunteer.

Guess what...I'm a very well educated 51 yr old with 25 yrs of work history in government and nursing. When I screwed up my back, I lost everything. Deep in debt, I now live on a $900/mth. disability check. Insurance is a joke, I can't afford treatment. No one will hire me. What's the point. Wish I was dead.

Have faith people. President Barack will save us all. It wont be long and we will all be part of the greatest welfare state in the world, the United Welfare States of America. This is the beginning of socialism.....you have to crash the economy first, take the country to it's knees....then rebuild with new rules.

I'm in sortof the same spot, only I'm 30 and they won't approve my disability, even though I can't work by doctor's orders, do not qualify for ANY programs to go to school for any training, and have to depend on others to be able to eat.

The best way to feel good about yourself is to be a contributing human -- help someone else. Be a friend to someone older, and more lonely, and sadder than yourself. Just think, you could be the highlight of someone's whole day if you only played cards with them for an hour, or helped take them to the grocery store.
