Oh how I remember days/times like this. When I was first disabled, i was single and very young. I had to live on "General Relief" while awaiting disability approval. Since I did not have children, my benefit was $62./month. How does on live on that? I had to depend upon friends for temporary housing, etc. Even when I was approved for disability, it was not enough to live on. I was constantly robbing Peter to pay Paul. I was a constant nervous wreck. I had lived this way for several years. I then was married and things became a bit easier over time. I am now going to be back in the financial situation we all despise.
I do know what it feels like and I am sorry any of us have to suffer financially, on top of all of the other challenges.
Sorry you are dealing with this, Halliebeth!
