Do you not have electricity on the stove to heat a pot of water to make a quick bath? Neighbor? Getting a hot shower will at least get you feeling better. As for the state, they cut off my foodstamps w/o rhyme or reason and never got back to my letters or phone calls. Is there a church nearby that you can get free meals? If it were warmer, I'd say go stand in someone's sprinkler. I would! Soap and everything. Who gives a beep is my theory.  |
I have been doing the water and soap thing heated on the stove, but even when I do that I can not get clean it seems. Least I do not feel clean, just wet. None of my neighbors are of any help. As a matter of fact I am expecting one of them to report me because of all the trash in the garage. Since I can't afford to have it picked up it sits.
I have food they haven't taken away my food stamps , just the 400 a month from the state for bills, which by the way does not even come close to paying off any of them. I am behind 2 to 3 months on all my bills, nasty phone calls over it.
I am just over whelmed by it all, I am either in a panic cause I can't get things taken care of, or so damned depressed that I can't even force myself to try. While I am not one to take my own life, it would not bother me to much if I just didn't wake up some morning. though would fight to wake up. Maybe i am just a glutton for punishment.
And yes, to me others problems always seem worse then my own. I have always been that way. My doc says I have set a to high of a standard for myself in many aspects. There is the older guy that walks around town, back pack on and homeless, and when I see that I sink so low because I am *****ing and complaining about my issues. And I know others are in worse shape, so how can I expect or even dare to think I have problems. Once again my standards I guess.
