<prompt> Human: Im 35, recent graduate, and I cant work. I have some health problems that a some days keep me from walking more than 20 ft every hour or so, b can walk more than 20 ft but not without the most extreme pain, c can walk with bearable pain but am on Lyrica so Im sleepy for 10 hours out of 16 hours of being awake. Im so angry because these problems were quickly onset. Had I known this was going to happen I never wouldve went to college. I cant do a job in my field out, or any job for that matter, remotely because in addition to having no experience, I have no reliable dedicated internet. Not to mention, no one offers service in my area. -The problem I have is lifelong but damn it I want to work so badly I cant hardly stand it. I have bachelors degrees in a psychology and criminal justice. What do you do when youve become useless? Its not that I just cant walk much, but when I dont sit with my legs propped up my feet swell. So, even an office job is not ideal. So, when do you bite the bullet and do whatever it is people do to start filing for disability? Hell I may not even qualify, I dont know what it takes to qualify. Im sorry if this post comes off a little hostile. Im just emotionally and mentally drained. Ive been holding out hope Id get better but it doesnt look like I am. Ive always been a hard worker; and I feel useless and honestly feel like I dont deserve to be on disability. Disability, I always thought, was for elderly people. Maybe Im just being proud. Idk.  <response>: Like the others who have posted so far, I would also see the disability payments if you can get them as a way to give you time and money to try and improve your situation. That could mean a lot of things, like moving to a place with reliable internet, like doing courses, like looking around in the area where you live for other career options, etc. It wont hurt you to get the disability payments. They can help.If you manage to create a career for yourself, despite your limitations, a lot of good things will happen: a. youll be a happier person and b. you will pay back your disability payments and much much more in the form of your taxes.
