When I first was assaulted, I cried every day, all day. Then they let me go to work. I was in pain all of the time and extremely weak. But it was getting better, so I kept hoping that I would make it. For two years I kept doing my best, even with the flagrant hostility from my coworkers. Then I was fired. Not because I wasn't doing my job (they didn't have any complaints and said that I was still doing my job, in fact I was doing the jobs of my coworkers as well as mine, trying to train a few of them), but because my coworkers thought that I might die. Of course, this is illegal. So I tried Human Resources, the union and the EEOC. They wouldn't help - they said that this is a "right-to-work" state and they could fire a person for wearing the wrong color of socks. I was forced to get a disability designation.

This enabled them to take away my retirement benefit and replace it with a tiny disability. It is not enough to live on, yet too much to qualify for any other type of assistance. Due to this designation I'm barred from getting a job outside of home. I've worked with the VR for 1 1/2 years. This took alot of time and wasn't cheap. Then they said that they wouldn't help because I didn't have a job. These events depleted my life savings.

Then I was able to borrow the computer and internet, so I've tried some type of job or business that I can do at home, day and night. I haven't been able to find anything. I'm UNABLE to do telemarketing and sales. Do you have any suggestions? Do you have any resources to help me?
