Money help: I am so tired.

Tinycountrybee

I am so tired.

I have had such a horrible life, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I am 34 but I feel like I’m 94. I have been on Social Security Disability. I suffer from Major Depression, General Anxiety Disorder, Diabetes, Hypothyroidism, Anemia, Sleep Apnea, High Cholestrol, Diabetes Retinopathy, Infertility and Advance Peridontal disease. I had a stroke a year ago, the side effects are some stiffness in my thigh and short term memory loss. I’ve been told I will be completely blind in the next couple of years from the retinopathy. I know that things could be worse. I was told I will not receive additional benefits when it does happen. Social security isn’t enough to even cover rent. I have recently gotten divorced and now I am being evicted by my ex husband. My parents are both deceased and I don’t have any siblings. I did not know my Mother or her family, Both of my parents died when I was young. The only family members I do have are struggling themselves. I slept in my car three years ago, when I had no place to stay. I’ve applied for section 8 housing but I’ve been told since I don’t have any children, the wait is three years. I can’t afford to live anymore. I don’t make enough money to qualify for low income housing. I am so sad and I keep getting the run around around from agencies. I really need help. I hope there are some resources available to help me. Please email me if you know of anyone able to help.

Thank you!

Barbara

Sounds tough. But I meen we all have our ****. I’m 19, I have anorexia nervosa, hypochondria, anxiety disorder, manic-depression, osteoporosis (brittle bones meaning I’ll be sing a stick in my 20’s), virtually nill chance to have kids due to my illness, no qualifications as I was too ill to take them, never had a job as I’ve been too Ill to work, it’d be impossible to get a job anyway as I’ve been sectioned under the mental health act, just lost my flat and over the years lost most of my friends, family and my boyfriend. Anyway, I’ll stop, it’s not a competition. I’m just saying everyone has a **** life so just find the good in it. There will be some

Dear Barbara,
You plight sounds challenging and restrictive to say the least. I am amazed at your strength to reach out and seek solutions to change your life for the better. I am inspired by your tenacity and warmed by the responses from people willing to help. Thank you Barbara for speaking up and reaching out, I too feel tired, very tired, but on a whole other level. Your strength lights the way for my weary soul to continue on this journey.

Thank you all for your kind words. I live in Florida and all I keep getting is the run around. I contacted 8 different housing agencies, I got three “sorry we aren’t accepting applications as we have really long waiting lists” and the other five have not replied as yet. Rico thanks for the website, I checked into the resources page and I’ll start calling tomorrow.
