Hello. I'm looking for help.

Hi, I am 33 years old, Asian American and I'm unemployed. I have been unemployed for a long time. Well over 5 years. I've pretty much messed it up big time. But here's how it's been.

I have worked jobs here and there, never lasting very long. My work ethic was very poor. I was diagnosed with juvenille diabetes around the age of 21 and I haven't been the best at keeping it in check. Around the age of 28 I was diagnosed with Acute Angle Glaucoma. As time progressed, I think I even gained some kind of IBS deal that made for some pretty embarassing moments at work, when I was at least working. Between these illnesses and being unable to cope with them and the meds that I seem to be taking around the clock to live a normal life, I also felt depressed being such a young age and having been dealt this hand. The way I was, my behavior, I was a selfish brat. I met someone wonderful in my life that I thought would be there with me through it all, from not having much of a problem healthwise to the state I was/am in now. But, that selfishness caught up and well some things don't last forever and I need to accept that.
Anyways, about the actual problem.

I have gotten my act together on my meds and even though they will never cure me and I will have these issues until the day I die, I want to continue forward.

I have been without a job for 5+ years. I have a GED. Nothing more really. I tried my hand at college, but I was just not feeling it then. The sad thing is I don't even recollect my job history, my resume is nowhere to be found, I wouldn't want to create one now since I don't know where and when I worked. Every time I start to fill an application, I pause at that Work History section because I don't want to fabricate or guesstimate when I worked. I had found that there is a form that I can fill out from the SSA that they can send me to tell me my entire work history for a meager fee of 15 dollars, albeit it will be a good 4 months until I see that.

As you can see I get side tracked pretty easily and go on tangents about my crappy situation. Ha.

Anyways. yes, unemployed for so long. How do I get back to getting a job. Who on earth would hire a guy that doesn't even know his work history? Job economy isn't the greatest at the moment. And what positions I am qualified for with my limited education and experience hold me back I would say. But, I ask you for any and all advice what I should do to improve my life.

I have to make this work. I need it.

Any suggestions?
