I am A 31 year old diabled man. I suffer from Agoraphobia and Bipolar disorder. Beacuse of my disability I cannot attend a regular college and I need to take online courses. I found a very good school with courses in the field I want to study but, I cannot get enough funding. The course costs approx $65,000 and I can only get enough federal funding for about $16,000. I have tried to search for other help but cannot find anything.  Any help will be greatly appreciated. I do not know what else to do. All I want to do is get into a feild where I can contribute in some way even if I have to work from home! I feel so useless without a purpose.

Hi - I'm Laura, and I am a single mom of 3 absolutely wonderful children.  My oldest son (20) is in the Navy, stationed on a ship out of San Diego.  My daughter (16) is a junior in high school, and my youngest son (14) a sophomore.  I have suffered with agoraphobia and panic disorder for over 20 years and as a result was unable to work and began receiving disability.  Prior to this, I worked as a paralegal/legal secretary for 10 years.  Because I am primarily homebound due to the agoraphobia, I began my own business in accounting about 7 years ago to supplement my income.  Because of disability, even if I had more work, I would not be allowed to make over a set amount of money per month without losing my disability income.  At this time, my self-employment income is only about $500 per month.

I recently underwent lower back fusion surgery which helped tremendously with pain.  I now have a severe neck problem which cannot be fixed surgically.  Because of the neck problems, I have headaches nearly every day, am in constant pain, and it makes my anxiety even worse.  I attend physical therapy and chiropractic treatment 5 days per week (when the agoraphobia doesn't keep me inside).  Of course, my insurance only pays a small portion of this treatment. 

I own, together with the bank, a 2000 mobile home.  My mortgage is for another 15 years.  I have credit card bills that just don't seem to get smaller.  I am not a big spender, but do use them for necessities:  i.e., kids clothes, school supplies, car repair, immediate home repair, sometimes even food when there is no other way to pay for it.  I'm probably still paying interest on milk I bought last year!  I'm also making payments for another 5 years on a vehicle that I co-signed for with my nephew when he promised he would take care of it.  But a few months later, he said he wasn't able to continue payments so I now have a car and car payments.  Unfortunately, the amount owed on the car is higher than it's value.  I don't want to mess up my credit so I make the payments on the car and the house and the credit cards, to the detriment, sometimes, of everything else.

I'm the type of person that will help the next in any way I am able.  I babysit for friends when they just can't afford to pay someone to do it.  My house is usually full of children, many of which don't have the attention and fulfilled needs at home that they require.  My home and cupboards are always open to them.  I have taken in a foster child in the past, and friends of my children who needed a place to stay.  I am unable to turn just about anyone in need away.

Monetary requests seem so blatant and insincere, but that is what I need.  If I can get on top of my current mountain of debt, I feel that my anxiety would lessen tremendously and I can focus on getting well and being happy for my children and all the other children in and out of my home.  Bankruptcy is one of my options, but only as a last resort.  This is the second to last resort  :)

Thank you for taking the time to read my angst.  I appreciate prays and good thoughts as well. 

I have read some of the posts,And I feel somewhat selfish asking for help myself. I have Agoraphobia and it is almost impossible for me to leave my house,When I do its not more than a couple of blocks away from my house. I have been homebound for many years now. And I am in need of dental work done. My husband has saved money for me to get my teeth fixed when I am able to get out but I still cant. I need a dentist who is willing to work with me so that I can be asleep before I leave my home and asleep until I get back home. Is that possible??? Im not even sure if it can be done. I just know I am tired of hurting all the time and having toothaches all the time. I dont smile and I feel ashamed but theres nothing I can do about it. So any advice would be greatful. Thank you so much
