To whom it may concern, I am a 29 year old female. I have applied for Diability due to my health conditions. I have been diagnosed with COPD, Bipolar, Anxiety and Depression. I am currently enrolled at Ashford University College, but took a month break due to being depressed. I have been losing interest in all of my interests. I use a neubulizer 2 to 3 times a day. I even struggle with using that!!! I have already got the attention of our Govenor, and have heard nothing. I have social anxiety and get very aggressive with certain people. I try to keep it to myself and vent alone or with my councelor. I also am a recovering addict and have been sober for 1 year and 1 month. I have a lot of dillusions. Lately I have been sleeping a lot and every month I go to the doctor every month I lose weight. I used to weigh 117 pounds now I am down to 93 pounds..And nobody knows what to do. I got refferred to Acadia, a mental institute, which I dislike and just talking about it makes me very upset. I do not know why I have gotten denied for benefits. Myer Disability appealed my case. I have no income and receive Foodstamps, which helps a little. I have a lot of manic episodes and my family never knows what to say that may trigger me to get aggressive or upset. I do not even have a social life and do not have a lot of friends. My mom is very supportive and can control me sometimes. I ask her when I have a choice or decision to make and she will help with what I do. I feel like I am dying inside and out. Like I have nothing to live for but my family. I get sick a lot and hate going to our Emergency Room. Some doctors do not have a clue where I am recovering addict they think I want drugs, Well thats what I assume. I just want to be able to live my life sober. I still struggle day to day but know now how and what it does to my mind and body. Sometimes I get this weird feeling and I feel like I am living in a day dream. I need a living necissity income. I live off bottles and cans. I trey to excersise but am very weak and can not walk as fare as I used too. I always have to use an inhaler or neubulizer afterwards. My symptoms are ruining my life......I understand I am young esp[ecially for COPD...and sometimes I don't even get out of bed. I do not want to bve disabled but the facts are there!!!!I want to get a life back!!!!Maybe finish College, get my own home, get out of debt and maybe start a business. Right now I struggle.......

I think the state of this economy is garbage, it's simply a reflection of the way our government who thinks they know so much can't do a damn thing. They are literally running this country into the ground. It makes me sick. Obama, I actually thought he would fight to make changes but everything he has done has made everything worse, I am so horribly disappointed in him and the fact that he is not what he promised to be. In a country where material things seem tobe the most important thing to so may why can I not offer services to find a way to earn monay for a car? This whole thing just makes me sick. I haven't seen my children in almost a year because of the state of the economy although I have incredibly valuable services to offer in trade or to earn money no one can afford to do anything because the economy is essentially in forclosure. Now what "BIG BROTHER"? Now what? We are on the verge of becoming LESS than a 3rd world country SO I ASK NOW WHAT "BIG BROTHER" NOW WHAT????????
I offer many many services artistic related as well as house hold repair and furniture restoration and repair. Please if anyone has any questions do not hesitate to ask. I also have been a tattoo artist for 7 years. I desperately need a car. If anyone can help please please contact me!!!
in response to daisy28...I know that some dental schools may be able to help you out....they would be made by "students".....possibly check some of the schools around you. They dont advertise this but they may help if you talk to them about your situation
