What is on my mind is the stress Social Security (SSI and SSDI) place on me. There is no way to live on the income provided by this government program. Few therapists are willing to deal with low income/disabled income people with Medicare and Medicaid. There is no way to pay for therapy with the meager income. It is healthy to gain some financial stability but the second you do Social Security claims you have too much money in your account therefore your income will be reduced until your overpayment is paid off.
There is no point in crying. Overwhelmed and angry and frustrated and again very depressed. Alone trying to cope...with no income, health issues, mental health issues, full time caretaker overload exhaustion, oh how trapped and hopeless this government agency/plan makes us feel. No way out.
