You were disabled and realize it is not getting better, and no one seems to be able to fix the issue. You’re stuck laying down most of the day, you have enough mobility to function at home, but anything outside of home leaves you in bad shape beyond your control where you are not professionally functional. What do you do to earn a living and survive?

This is not a hypothetical for me.

    Aight. Since you are in California, get connected with the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR). In a general nutshell, their main goal is to help people with disabilities get gainful permanent employment.

    You will need verification of disability and from your attempt at claims you don’t have any, but any disability will work to include anxiety that raises to the level of disability, depression, anything already verified by medical professionals.

    They can also provide funding for college to help you get a job. They can pay for tuition, fees, parking passes, school materials.

    Also I think all states have a department similar to DOR.
