your story makes me so sad. i became disabled in my mid 40s so i know what you went through. if you live in the states you should be able to get ssdi if you worked at leaast 40 quarters, ssi if not. degenerative disc disease alone should do it. keep fighting for disability. for me they said i couldn't be gainfully employed but still made me fight for 2 years. the judge was so pissed at social security for pushing the case. like the judge said a person doesn't go from a work a holic to someone that doesn't work at all. they do it that way so people will get desperate and work for a bit then hve to start over. if you ever want to talk about social security or anything else feel free to use my inbox to talk or just plain vent

i'm sorry that you feel so low @Courtney02 it seems like you are a fine young adult ( not sure about gender which doesn't really matter). and at that age things are just a little harder . it seems like you have a bit of low self esteem, the good news is it can get better.
a true story for you to consider. when i met my wife when i was 21 i didn't even know how to check the oil in my car. now i can do a lot of mechanical and body work. i taught myself about cars, and basic carpentry, electrical and plumbing, this was before youtube. there are a lot of things you can learn by using youtube. i taught my son everything i know about cars and he knows way more than me because of youtube. i used to be the black sheep to my family, well at least until they knew the truth.
try to hang in there you should be fine. i strongly suggest a hobby that you can learn. my hobby of my 64 dodge has made a huge difference in my life. you are a good person

@Courtney02 and @teeboy68 panic attacks don't kill directly but they can cause death. i'll use myself as an example. i have bad copd ( 49% lung capacity ) i take two opioid pain meds as well as other stuff. opioid meds will repress breathing. i had some really bad anxiety attacks. 1 was so bad that i'm lucky that people that knew me were able to get me back to SF until i could calm down. in my doctors view the possibility of me dying by suicide was so great it was worth taking lorazepam which also represses breathing. of course we used great care doing it. i think panic/anxiety attacks are much more dangerous than depression, at least for me it's worse. with depression i can think a little but anxiety/panic attacks seem to send me spiraling down a rabbit hole faster than a rabbit lol.
the good thing is they have affordable meds for anxiety/panic attacks. for me and most people that i know if you feel an attack coming, take anxiety / panic meds right off if you don't have meds then talk with your doctor. for me i can calm down soon after or in a bad case i calm down enough until i can talk to my wife and take another one. i have also found that if i come here and talk to a friend right off that it helps
