[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if you continue to feel this way you will NEVER get out of the situation you're in. You're thinking is toxic and unproductive.

I am 47, when I was 22 I worked THREE jobs to pay my rent.  Couldn't afford a bed so I slept on the  floor. I saved my money, waited till I was 31 to get married. Found a great partner who shares my beliefs and who lifts me up, not drags me down. Together we have achieved a lot but in the time we NEVER felt sorry for ourselves.  Stop using your health as an excuse. People with way more health issues than you have gone very far in life. Achieved a great deal financially, spiritually and personally.   Try having your arms and legs blown off....[/quote]

For gods sake, do you have any idea what MS is like?  Do you have any idea what kind challenges she faces?  I had a great friend with MS.  He didn't get ill until he'd got through business school.  By 27 he was in a wheel chair.  It was only through his utter dedication and charisma that he was able to find a low level admin job.  WITH AN MBA.  And he was only able to keep it because this was in Europe and he had a great employer AND he didn't have any medical bills because healthcare was considered a right.  Ultimately he was promoted, several times and ended up in a position that was suitable for his not inconsiderable talents.  But remember he got his MBA before he lost the use of his legs and before he had trouble using his arms.  He was an amazing person in many many ways but paticularly for having tackled his disability in the way that he did.  he swam and sailed and ski-ed.  But MS is a terrible disease, particularly when it strikes young.  How DARE you suggest that having your arms and legs blown off is somehow worse.

My wonderful friend went from a 6'5" football player, top of his MBA class, to an independent wheelchair user, to a motorised wheel chair user, to needing voice recognition software to use a computer, to needing 24 hour care to be fed, clothed and dressed, to losing his ability to even speak.  He was inspirational and I wish OP could have met him because I know he would have had encouraging words and advice.  Sadly, however, he died about five years ago at the age of 41.

OP,[b] this wasn't in the US[/b], but I know that he found a lot of help and emotional support through disability and MS groups.  They also supported him in coming to terms with his disability, finding work and finding ways to continue the life he had before by finding ways to adapt to his needs (e.g. participating in sports despite being a wheel chair user).  is there anyone you can reach out to?  Working multiple jobs likely won't work for you, but it doesn't mean you can't get where you want to, you just may not be able to take the traditional path or the path that you originally planned to.[/quote]

See, this is the issue! In this country assholes like 13 21 will blame the victim. Oh, yeah, and healthcare in this country is also 'a priviledge'.[/quote]
