Really didn't need this

What is you alls opinion?

I had a meltdown Tuesday. I'd had it. I needed a recept for 7k printed out. PC died.

I posted on fb a post about all the awful stress I've been under the last 11 yrs.

Sister not vaccinated. Hates HRC. she texts me that my post is "playing with fire" and my ssdi attorney will drop me over an emotional meltdown post. WTAF? that a fb friend will take a screenshot and, do what? I don't get it. And ask her b4 I post. She's on ssdi for decades.

I said NOTHING about ssdi. She's horribly bossy and pushy. I deleted my post like an asshole. I'm getting ssdi due to mental, emotional, and orthopedic, and eye problems. I'm lost and pissed and confused

She brings toxicity into your life when you need something far more affirming and reaffirming. Friends you trust most, to confide in, can be tremendously supportive. That pushback can help you resist absorbing her negativity.

If you're happy with your SO, that is what matters. Are you treated well?

get the benefit I would scribble all over them. My mother would complain and tell me that I had to write out everything very nicely blah blah fucking blah.

I am on disability for a mental illness that made it impossible for me to keep a damn job! These forms wanted me to list every single hospitalization for the past many years, the dates of service, the names of the doctors, what color my fucking room was and what was served for breakfast!!!

Who the hell can know all of that? I continued to fill everything out the way I was doing it and it was fine.

Don't listen to people who don't know what they are talking about! Your sister is not your attorney.

I hope you feel better. (I'm having a similar issue right - I can relate)

Anything to make it harder. Good for you. I have mental, emotional, eye, and orthopedic issues.
