Work/Disability Experience?

Hi zebras. I wondered if anyone would be willing to share their experiences trying to maintain employment / getting any sort of government assistance or financial aid with EDS. Similarly, are there any in-home or other life accommodations you’ve made to help you to be able to work?

The rest of this post is just a vent for context, but… I am feeling so disheartened and worried that I’ll never be able to work. Years ago I decided to change career paths and pursue veterinary medicine. Working through such an intensive program with all my pain issues was awful, and now that I’m finally out my pain feels about as bad as it’s ever been. I feel like I’ve finally done everything to be able to work my dream job and now I can’t even do it. I live alone and can barely take care of myself, I don’t even know how I could possibly work. A couple weeks ago my veterinarians license came in the mail and I just cried because I don’t know if I’ll ever even be able to use it. I can’t be happy for myself, I can’t celebrate, I didn’t walk at my graduation because it just felt like there was no point… all I wanted was to help animals but I can’t even help myself. I’m scared at what my future is going to be like because I don’t know how I’ll make a liveable income the way things are. If there are any other EDS veterinarians or human docs out there, I’d love to hear your experience especially 🖤
