Thanks everyone.
Unaluna - that's what my addictions Dr. say - I keep trying to get back into the workforce and relapse sooner than later, although I don't think that's the case now.
Eskielover, I'm hoping my application goes through quickly, I think I'm like you and manage ok, except for when it comes to trying to manage my part time Job.
Oh and Ontario, ODSP isn't liked to prior year income. It's done in fixed bocks, X for rent, Y for basic living expenses and food, I think you can get transportation money if you're volunteering somewhere. And they let you work part time while on, just clawing back a portion of your earnings over a fixed amount.
JD - You're right I'm having a huge emotionally hard time with all of this. It kind of feels like I'm giving up.
But then again, my current housemate was on it for 6 years, But after loosing a lot of weignt, she suddenly had all this evergy and started looking for a job like crazy, and shes now working full time. So I know it doesn't have to be forever.
I've started the process and am now waiting for them to have me go into an office, with all financial documents, and do the full income eligibility assessment. Don't know when that will be.
In the meantime, one of my brothers is helping me out financially, since I can't live on my part time job alone.
