My boyfriend is letting us live with him rent-free until I get back on my feet. Bless him for that! I managed to get food stamps, so we're good on food for the time being.

The rest of it is a goat $&-! I found out this morning that my entire federal tax refund is going to pay down my delinquent student loans. Loans I couldn't pay because I can't work, and who knows what's going on with my disability case....

I can't get through on the phone to the welfare people to even get an update on that. Going down to the office (40 minutes away) isn't possible. The hours-long wait just to ask a simple question is too much for my agoraphobia and PTSD.

I'm grateful for the roof and the food stamps, but there are so many things I need that I can't pay for, like a second pair of pants and a second bra. Gas for my car. Feminine hygiene products even!

It's so frustrating, and not being able to contact anyone official is pushing me over the edge.
