i am a student and i have found that school is a big enough challenge besides working a full or part-time job. it is time to get real about what i can and can't do right now. plus i want my new school to know my condition so i can take advantage of any accomadations they could offer me. i heard that you need a lawyer. that scares me. i am so poor right now i am being helped out by me folks for rent and i clean houses once in awhile to pay the bills and have pocket money. it worries me that after cleaning only one house i am sore and sick for three days aftewards. not a good way to support myself. i live in o klahoma but i plan on moving to Fayetteville, Arkansas at the end of December. i know it can vary from state to state. i was living in s.f. where i would have gotton the best care for diabilty but i had no way to survive until it came through considering my rent was so high. my poarents have been helping me, but that can't last forever. and i recently found oout that my fiance may not be returning to share our apartment in nov. i need help fast. but it seems like the state won't help you unless you have kids(which i don't) and i have heard it is poplicy to turn down everyone for diabilty the firsttime. i am nervous, but i don't have a choice anymore. i am alone in this now, and i need serious help since i was counting on people who probably won't come through for me.help!!!
