[OverwhelmedInKy]

so after getting so sick that i was going to work and passing out for no reason, having chest pains from anxiety, etc....i left my job. soon after i went to the hospital for a week or so and followed with therapy, etc. i decided to apply for disability since i also have several physical things that need surgery i can't get without insurance. (and ky doesn't give you a medical card unless your pregnant or already on disability)

i know it can be about a year's fight for disability, but we thought we could scrape by when my abusive SO finally went back to work after 2 yrs. but i also have 2 other kids with their father in another state after having had to leave him before he literally killed me. Yeah, i seem to have a talent for ending up with abusive men, one was physically and mentally abusive, and now this one is just mentally and verbally abusive. i also have a boy with this guy who's almost 2.

anyway, since i'm behind on my child support, if i don't get a job soon and catch up, of course, they put you in jail. so i'm back to looking for work and not finding anything, let alone something i can physically handle till i can get my other surgeries.

i'm still going to my approval type dr. appointments that the disability people set up, but i think i'm wasting my time since i can't wait to get disability anyway. i know i have no business trying to work right now, but i don't have a choice. and now, what if i can't find anything? the job market here stinks.

What a terribly stressfull situation to be in. That is awful for you. It seems that the land of opportunity is only opportune for those who already have a lot of money and don't need any assistance.

I really hope you get disability soon. That sort of anxiety would just be unbearable for me. I would have to be hospitalised for that alone. It just seems that if you are one of the vulnerables you are cast aside to suffer.

I'm crying here on your behalf. I swear if I were a caseworker with the disability office I would have a very heavy caseload...and then probably no job...

I really do hope this is sorted out for you and that you can get disability soon,

Have you been served with papers to appear in court regarding the support arrearages?

I would keep working on the disability and keep looking for a job, see what happens "first". Very stressful situation you appear to be in. I kind of doubt you'll be thrown in jail for being in arrears on the child support; it's not like you're willfully not paying or are running. You are doing what you can to find a job/get disability so you can resume paying. I'd be a bit more proactive and go to the board and tell them what's happening so they don't have to come to you. You can't get blood from a stone.
