Hi Nathan
Look here for job programs (even for disabled people in fibromyalgia) that are in Maine and Bangor.

Well, "easy jobs" is a relative term. As every job has expectations, demands, goals, etc. For better or worse, that is life / the world we live in. If you work, you have expectations. Anyway, we do have some info on programs or job placement for disabled people, including with fibromyalgia. And that info is here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... abled.html

I'm getting desperate here for a job! I have been unemployed since March because of my health of fibromyalgia, and I'm having a hard time making any money. I'm currently in the process of finding a good disability attorney to help me with my fibromyalgia SSI case, which will take weeks or months, and I currently have no way to pay my bills outside of donations from family and friends, who are now over-extended. I've been trying to sell some items on FB marketplace for months now with no luck, and I don't have much to sell. My significant other and I need ways to pull in at least $600-800 a month until one or both of us can get disability.
For context, I have fibromyalgia as well as a learning disability and autism spectrum disorder, which makes it hard to work full-time and take on complex customer service and sales jobs, which are the most common WFH jobs that I have seen over the years. But I read some companies hire people with conditions of fibromyalgia or ASD like me. I need something easy and flexible. My highest form of education is a high school diploma, and I've been struggling for years to find a WFH job that I'm qualified for. My s/o is in the same position, minus the fibromyalgia, and he has a mood disorder as well. We also have no form of transportation, and we occasionally rely on getting rides to the store from our kind neighbors. Thankfully, several people have offered to help us with transportation to/from work.
I feel like a burden for constantly asking for donations online, and I just want to be somewhat self-sufficient until I get disability benefits. Are there any flexible jobs out there for people like me, or at the very least, unconventional ways to earn money that aren't shady/scams? I have great computer skills and write/verbal communication skills. I'm very patient, and I feel like I can work well helping older folks over the phone, but I don't know what opportunities are out there.
