I know right now I'm going to need to get a job for the first time in 8 years but it's hard finding work when you have no skills or experience. For me it's even harder because I have U.C and when I'm on the job it's not uncommon for me to have to use the bathroom 1-2 times per hour and that's on a good day. I could qualify for government assistance because of my health but I can't do that because of the living situation I'm in right now. In a year or so my situation will be different but right now I need my own income to survive.
Lately It's really hard for me to fall asleep at night and when I wake up I feel kind of panicky.
So is the affiliate model dead or is this a hiccup?

I surely hope the economy rebounds more soon.
Semi off-topic, but I know some folks who were helped by products from farrlabs.com and some doctors (maybe a clinic?) can give you a first time coupon for a freebie. You might even just be able to email the site and ask for a free sample to try out. If it lets you work in a different environment, then you'll be able to afford refills and, if it doesn't work for you, nothing lost.
