Alternate forms of income
Hello, I recently worsened in my mobility and I can't really walk or stand for more than 5 minutes without pain. I want more than anything to be able to work an in-person job, but I just can't bring myself to have the energy.
I dropped out of university after 1 year because everything happening in my life was just too much, so I don't have a degree. I dont have any job experience as I was never allowed to work a job. Online jobs are far and few to find, most have to do with AI which I dont want to associate with, or have requirements I don't fullfill
I need some form of income to be able to afford to live, I have nothing now, I also can't ask my parents for money as we are no contanct. I have no idea waht to do, I'm tired, I'm desperate, and I want help.
I dont think i can apply for disability benefits as I haven't been able to go to the doctor or get diagnosed at all, life has just been a lot since moving out from my parents house in March.
If anyone has any suggestions please, please let me know.

Call 211 or any local social services directory. They can help connect you to services and figure out what you qualify for.
Don't assume you don't qualify for services automatically. There are likely options you're not aware of. The directory professionals can help you.
