I just feel honestly really scared, going back to school has so far sucked bombed all three of my test 1s, already falling behind. Between this and target I just feel so overwhelmed, I don't know what I want at all, bit just to feel like I don't need to run every single day, or rest fof long periods of time if I need to, SSDI would be nice but that's only 950, things I enjoy I would have to give up like driving, given my insurance is horrible. I just feel incredibly sad, posting this, rolling over, knowing when my alarm goes off, I'll need to get dressed and drive to target, just to repeat the same stressful expersize I did the other day, I'll get home aware I have class at 8am, I'm not even sure what to do now, IT was bust, I already have a degree no job, I'm just so burnt out. I'm so tired.

Do you live in a place (or go to a school) where you can ask for accomodations due to your disability? Not for getting disability compensation but for school?
