The only problem may be if your family claims you as a dependent. In that case, your family's income would be counted.

It's more like Water or Urine. I describe it as high in volume, low in density, and high in viscosity. Meaning it's very Watery and not thick. There's alot of it. And it comes out in a consistent and persistent pace. There is no thickness

The consistently is best described as VERY MUCH consistent and persistent. Every second every minute. I just feel it coming and coming. I suspect that too. But too my knowledge normal mucus is thick and higher density. This leakage is not thick. It's high in volume, low in density. Unless "Excessive" mucus from the colon can be very Watery and high in volume due to whatever reason then I guess that's a possibility. It certainly smell very foul and like death or somehting. Nothing like I have ever smelled before. I wonder what could irritating and inflaming it? Certainly not food or drinks, because I've tried strict diets and such and I never experienced any relieve. Must be something more serious.

Sounds like mucus to me.

My advice is to go get a colonoscopy as soon as possible. Is there any way we can help you find a doctor? I live in NYC and I know a great GI who was the first to take me seriously.
