I have not worked for 7 years.  I am in pain everyday. I have been turned down by social security. Most family and friends have given up on me. They think I am crazy or lazy. My teeth are rotting out of my head from medication. I can not afford dental insurance. I can barely afford medicine. I know people who are not in as much pain that have been approved for social security. If you live with someone and are not married you make out much better than if you are married. Since I am not working I can not afford to help my children with college or weddings. I can not even get my teeth fixed. People think because I look normal I should be able to work. I feel like many people are angry with me for being sick and letting them down. I would like to work, I would like to not be so poor and worry about money, and most of all I would like to be without pain and able to sleep. I have been treated like it is all in my head, and have wondered at times if I am crazy. No one understands and I get more anger than understanding. I get lonely and depressed. My house is  a mess. Money is a problem. It is very hard to deal with pain daily, and then have all the other problems and pressure on top of it all.
