Struggling with Fibromyalgia: Applying for Disability and Finding Work

I'm so tired. I looked up applying for disability due to my fibromyalgia (since I'm starting to realize that I don't think I'm going to get better and since I'm struggling to do more then walk around the house without my body hurting) and I don't think I'd fit, since I haven't been hurting long enough. But I can't find a job that will take me either, since the most I can work is maybe 2-3 days a week for short periods of time. I feel so lost and alone. I want to imagine things will get better, but I don't know if they ever will and I don't know if I can handle that reality yet.

Wow. I do not have any advice, but you’ve summed up my pain and how I feel about it so well, I never thought of it that way. I 100% relate. Thank you!

Hi, I dont have fibromyalgia, but I have Diffused Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain (Also called AMP's), which is a type of chronic pain. They don't have it listed on here. But I'm here, if you need to talk about chronic pain stuff.
