I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop! I'm worried that my section 8 hasn't paid their portion of the rent- might be that she hasnt figured that out yet but i fear she is angry with me and therefore cut off my section 8!! 😕😥

Please be truthful, tell her you are trying, you have a ton of support here. Do not stay in shame. That is your disease wanting to harm you. I am here, miles away, praying for you. You can and will do this. You are still alive. My buddy? 23? H overdose
Dead. So sweet and loving. There is danger. Pray. Breathe. Do the next right thing. Hugs!

I'm feeling anxious. Somebody please tell me I'm making this up! I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Section 8 has not paid their portion of the rent yet. The person in the office here that I was working with said I could wait till next month and just pay double the rent. I have a feeling of dread that my section 8 was cut off. Maybe my section 8 worker is still working on my recert? Or maybe shes angry with me for moving based on what the complex said -i.e. the apartment passed inspection- when I think the section 8 lady said I should wait for her to tell me its passed. Does it matter? What should I do?

Worried,

I think it takes time for sec 8 to process the paperwork. I know the anxiety must be overwhelming but there’s nothing to do until morning. Can you distract yourself with a movie, music or calling a friend?

Well My husbands doctor appt today was FANTASTIC ! His A1C was 7.7 in the hospital in June with renal failure and today it was 5.8 So Excellent control !

Now if I get through all my imaging Wednesday and no followup needed we will have no appt's with GP until Feb 2021 !! We both got our Flu shot today.

Finally we have caught a big break

Hugs to everyone in need.

I just put on a rainforest relaxation CD. Never listened to it. If I get used to it then I'll have each nuance memorized and then it's no fun. But right now its just background noise.

What do you think I should do in the morning?? It doesn't help that I don't know if my mail is being forwarded yet or not - whenever the rent amount changes I get a paper saying what my portion is. Haven't gotten it yet for whatever reason. Maybe the mail is still messed up?

Can you contact the section 8 lady?

[Nammu]

Yes, that was my thought too. You could contact the lady at sec 8

Will you tell them that you feel like you're being lectured and already feel ashamed?

As I see it there's nothing to be ashamed of. Afraid, sure. But not ashamed.

Let us know how it goes

I'm so glad to read this, Christina! It gives a lot of people great hope. You also deserve a bit of the credit for your husband's much improved health. He was very lucky to have you with him during his trying period.

I'll be a little jealous of your February 2021 I'm not so fortunate. I am happy that you'll get a break from medical exams. Take care and please enjoy these coming months.

My surgery went decently. They did have to intubate me they said it was just routine for general anesthesia. The first thing I said when they woke me up was “my throat hurts” and it still hurts pretty badly. The surgery itself went well. They were pretty concerned with how high my pulse was in recovery. Also I developed a temp of just under a 100. But mainly they were concerned because I was bleeding a lot. So they paged the doctor who was at another hospital and he came over to look at it and he said it looked fine and that I didn’t have go back to the OR he said my pulse was ok it was probably just the surgery. After that I was discharged almost immediately. I’m feeling pretty good right now. I took whatever pain meds they gave me through the IV and then I took one narco in day recovery but since I’ve been home I’ve been managing with just Tylenol. But I do have the narco.

Mountaindewed, I am happy to read that you are home and doing well. It's good that they called in an additional doctor to ensure your safety. I hope your sore throat will ease soon.

Both my husband's and my stress levels are getting extremely high because of our house improvements. Chaos is rough to live in.

Yesterday I was frustrated with the stager not responding to two simple questions. First, she clearly didn't read my text thoroughly and answered as such. Then I left her a voice message. She called back, but I missed her call. Instead of answering the simple two questions I asked (again) in my voicemail, she simply said "Please call me back."

I got frustrated because of above, so handed my cell phone to my husband and asked him to call the stager back. Instead, he wrote another text to her (from my phone), but a very brusk one. Now she surely thinks that I was the brusk person! I'll need to call her, after all, and apologize for the text (that I didn't write). What a mess!

Our handyman doesn't communicate well. That makes the stress worse. He is jumping from one room and project to another, making us have to suddenly start clearing up rooms we thought could wait. Then he's saying "I only have a little time for your project." This is after originally telling us the job would require two weeks.

I'm doing the best I can, but if things get much harder, I am going to spontaneously combust. I'm serious. Anyone reading this should not take this lightly.

Renos are the worst. I ripped my house apart 3 years ago during a manic episode and have been too afraid to hire anyone to fix it because of so many stories like yours.

I really hope things start to go more smoothly for you!

Yay!! So proud and happy.

If you hurt significantly, prolly gonna nd that Vicodin or whatever briefly. As ur pal, you do not want to get behind on untreated pain, as it makes it harder to ever control again. Just use your judgment. No prob. You are not gonna get addicted w 10 doses.

Thst fever was from the anesthesia. No prob.

It's more than 2 weeks since my fang was taken out. It's the first and only fang I have had taken out (except for when I was a cub, I had 2 out as my bottom teeth were a bit crowded). Something someone said to me afterwards worried me a bit (not anyone here) but maybe it helped me to be more careful about rinsing my mouth. Etc. I have had other issues with a few of my fangs years ago (veneers needed, apparently I drank ''too much'' orange juice)

I think my fang space is healing ok. I was worried it might not. Especially as the dentist said something.

I did not (sometimes) expect medical stuff to go ok for me. I hope this is an exception (several things have not gone ok )

I've been eating healthily and exercising, hopefully this is helping my immune system.

My mood is good today (maybe this will continue) I used to not do mornings

Hugs to all who are struggling

I agree with this. Shame is a bummer. Being shamed is also.

I also don't think there is anything to be ashamed of (afraid, I agree)

[MuddyBoots]

I didn't even bring it up with my therapist... I said I was sick of failing and she said "failing what?" and I just said "stuff like work and staying away from unhealthy habits" and she suggested going to an adult learning center.
Thing is, I'm not afraid at all. I mean, I WANT to get kicked out. I WANT to overdose and stop breathing. Worse scenario I can see would be going to jail, and even that in my mind is just "whatever, consequences..." I realize this is probably the addiction speaking, but f'k, I haven't truly wanted to live in over ten years and I've only been using drugs/alcohol for 6, and opiates for only a year.

Easy. "I haven't received the paper about my rent yet, so I wanted to check on where things are at."

Start with "I am concerned because I haven't received the section 8 paper that tells me what portion of the rent I need to pay."

Good luck!
