I'm glad to hear that you're feeling a little less hope-less, Anonymous Member, however do please remember that you can't fully count on an online forum to keep you from doing something to harm yourself. I'm sure that you don't particularly feel that way, but because of who I am and my background, I feel compelled to put it out there. You've got a lot of potential and seem to just need more encouragement.
I am particularly glad to hear that someone has passed along resources for you as well. This is tremendously important because the ADA has put many programs into place specific to certain disabilities and to protect the rights of all people who are differently-abled and/or impacted by a chronic illness. I do have a strong background in chronic illness (coupled with mental health) and if you are seeking more information about how to go about accessing services, I'd be happy to give you a little general, and if possible, more specific direction via PM. I hope that you're able to continue to find and set little goals that help you feel productive.
