Social services and all that government stuff can be a real pain. If you don't make enough to live on, but make too much, you get nothing. Who makes the decisions that a person can live on what they give you, and if you make too much that you can afford to care for yourself? Meanwhile, the people who run the government make plenty of money and take it away from the less fortunate. Congress increases their salaries without raising anyone else's.

Mandie, I really feel anger and frustration at your situation. I do get Social Security, but I know how hard it is to live with limited funds. I couldn't live on what I make alone. I have a boyfriend to help me. Still, when I want something and can't afford to get it, it's stressful and upsetting. How are you supposed to get your meds? I would recommend contacting the companies who make your meds, and ask them if they can help you; sometimes they are able to.

I'm really sorry you're in this situation.
