Mental Health Support

1. I don't know what else to do about it. They can't observe me every second of every day to see what is going on and since I cannot command my issues to be 'Hollywood' obvious when it matters, I am at a loss.

2. Which all means that I paid into a system that is unwilling to help me. I guess I should be glad that I helped others. Because that is all I am going to get out of it. Let me be clear. I will not survive to retirement age as things stand. If the intention is to try to 'outlast' me, then they are well on their way to doing it. I guess they have to try and hang on to as much of that pile as they can and making sure that an ever-growing percentage of the potential claimants never get the chance to make a claim is a good way to do it.

3. SNAP benefits ran out four months ago. They will not renew them. I have no income. My husband makes squat because he had to scramble to get a job after the company he worked for screwed him and 3000 other people during the lockdown. But apparently, making any money is an excuse to say that we are too 'solvent' to be in dire straits.

4. I am three years from that. And, as I am reading things, that line is going to go up even higher. I won't make it to that age unless I get some freaking help.

Property? Savings? I guess those are valid questions but they are also hysterical to someone who has had the life I have had.
