why are we here?
by jennifer819, Jul 23, 2008 07:21PM
why do other people have the good life? i feel like this is hell and when i die i will finally go to a nicer place. i have many illnesses and no one believes me. i have not been able to work in two years, the one person i thought i could really trust let me down today. now i have nothing, no home, no car, no food. my life has never ever been good. two very abusive parent's and now i am ill with nothing. now i have to leave everything in my home behind for the landlord to take because i am getting kicked out. i have been thinking all day the best way to leave here, i don't want to make any mistakes, i am so done, just done. i cannot stand the thought of being homeless again and to have to leave so many memories behind to have strangers go thru and probably end up in the trash somewhere.

Although you may not be able to take this to heart because of your current situation, have faith that things will get better.
I think your first course of action is to seek out the resources that will allow you to find housing and obtain food stamps, if appropriate,
If you are unable to work due to your disorders, check with the Social Security Administration about collecting SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance).
In the interim, petition you local welfare office to provide you with a cash disbursement for essentials which you will need.
Don't be afraid to ask questions and, if the answers you get aren't satisfactory, ask for clarification or to speak with a supervisor.
This is the time to be assertive.
From what you wrote, it doesn't appear as if you have any type of support mechanism in place, but if you do, make full use of those friends and family which will help you get through this difficult time.
I've been in difficult situations before and have always managed to drag myself out of them with a little assertiveness and a lot of research.
I sincerely wish you the best of luck in resolving your current situation.
