Youth with chronic pain
My pain started when I was 14 years old. It's due to nerves being damaged after an infection, because of my pain I am unable to work a normal job, I'm limited to a certain amount if hours and dont even make enough to pay basic rent. I'm stuck, in a body with pain that's only going to get worse, I'm currently 20 years old and will be stuck living in my parents home for god knows how long because there is no special disability credit for me.
