Okay, I have firbromyalgia. I have had it since I was 17, I turned on 18 saturday. I started looking for a job that day, and searching around. I graduate from school this saturday.

Then on the 26th, I was in a car accident. My friend was driving. I was in the passenger seat, we were hit behind, pretty hard. We were pretty bruised up. I hit my knee on the door, and my back is pretty ****** up. It hurts so badly. My condition is about 10x worse in the past few days. I have not gone to a doctor since the accident. I'm putting it off until the 6th of June. Because I already had an appt then and didnt want to call in and make it earlier. They hate that. I don't know exactly what damage was done in my back, but its not broken or anything. I refused to go to the ER because insurance is really bad and they wont cover it.

I have had to stop looking for a job, there is no way in hell I can work like this. All this pain is unbearable, I cant sit or stand for more than 20 mins. It's really horrid. I NEED to have a job. I'm 18 and graduating in 3 days lol. I need a job. I can't go to college without one, and I can't go with all of this pain.

I don't know what road to take? I can't be dopped up all the time on pain meds and work, and yet I can't be in pain and work. Physically I can't do it at this point.
