I just need to vent.
I can't seem to get anywhere with this for the last 2 weeks (fast going on 3). I have tried applying several times. Either the state online application system is down, or their phones are down, or they don't answer the phone. I have filled out the stupid application at least a half-dozen times only to have the system freeze before submission, not save my application, or simply not register that I sent it in. When I try to call them to talk to a live person (either with questions or so tell them about the system glitches), I navigate their stupid phone system for 10 minutes before being able to have the option to talk to a person, then their system hangs up on me. Their office is far away, so it's difficult to get to in person. I'm about to give up and forget it completely. This is so frustrating. I barely have the energy and attention to do this once, forget about going at it for weeks at a time. I would try to contact a case manager to get help, but I need the benefits to be able to qualify for a case manager...
I feel like I'm smacking into a wall at every turn.

I hate dealing with state agencies down here... I want to be able to get benefits to be able to tackle the crap that has come up, but I can't get anywhere with it. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for letting me vent...
