If your health is up to it, I would recommend trying to get into a trade at the bottom floor, even just a laborer. You can always go back to fast food or WalMart job, but after a year or two of good work you can be making good money.

Edit: Relevant suggestion because many construction companies and trades are hiring entry level around here, take your pick.

I worked two days as a diesel tech before I was fired because I wasn’t strong enough. Btw I went to trade school for it.

You graduated from trade school? And post graduation you can't be hired because you're too weak?

I'm sorry if my other comment seemed like I was giving you shit, I'm really just curious. Did you go to trade school not being properly notified of general requirements of what you were training in? I've considered trade school at times and am just curious. Or do you feel businesses you're applying to are being discriminatory towards since you're female? How strong are you supposed to be vs how strong you feel you are?

Nah your good. I feel that they are being discriminatory against me. Times are changing but they haven’t changed in diesel yet. I am pretty strong for a female that doesn’t work out. But I hadn’t been working in that field for months so some of my strength was lost.
