Yes it’s very hard to save money when we both are on SSDI. We both hate it. But reality is neither of us could get a job and be able to keep one more than maybe a couple months.
I don’t think people really understand how almost impossible it is to live off SSDI.
Years ago a person on PC verbally attacked me for starting a thread about the SSDI and [emoji102] no for ideas to make things stretch and how difficult it is to survive on it. She ran off at the mouth about how I was so lucky to get “free money” and eating high off the hog on “food stamps” I was shocked. I responded that SSDI is not free money , it’s what I had paid into since I was 16 years old. I damn sure do not get food stamps and I’d love to shove my problems up her butt and see how much fun she had paying basic bills , I’ll admit I used some rather colorful language and did get scolded by a Mod but it was worth it. So many people jumped all over her she left the site. LOL
You didn’t say anything wrong friend ! Love ya  |
Hi Christina. I have experienced such attitudes about disability, as well. Even from my own brother, to a degree. He makes such statements about "others on disability/etc" or "leeches on society" but doesn't directly say these things about me. But obviously many others would.
It is hard to explain to some people how hard it is to be adequately functional to work. Such people may see you looking generally normal. I think they expect you to only be in bed or foaming at the mouth? Some people will never get it.
Thanks for asking about the troubling memories I mentioned a while back. I've put them out of my mind for now, but do plan to write about them.
