Wow the past few weeks have been so dark for me. I think the hardest part has been that in feeling helpless to help myself and finding no immediate support I panicked and asked site members for help. Part of me thinks we should be able to say what we need without guilt but damn when $$$ enters the equation I feel so ashamed and fear the reactions when I do ask.
My disability case is now going on year 4 and I finally have a court date so I should be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but instead I see utter darkness. Will I make it another month? Will my car make it?
People tell me things always get better but that is just not true so those words do not help me and prayers just piss me off. I have had to everything I own and give up my pets just to survive these past 4 years and I honestly do wonder if I can summon enough strength to make it another 6-8 weeks and yet I feel so ashamed that I feel this way and want to hide instead of share.

What is ACA? Affordable Care Act?
I can empathize.
I'm also on year 4 of disability claims and appeals, finally getting a hearing with a judge in August. Every time I get denied my depression takes a nose dive.
I don't know how much more of this I can take.
I wish you the best of luck.

I keep thinking of a short story I read once where the guy gets lost in a snow storm and gives up just before reaching safety. The towns people find is frozen body the next morning. We have made it this far so we have it in is but dang it is so very difficult right now. Darkest before the dawn.
@CreativelyMe Thanks, after getting shot down the first few times it was discouraging because I'd gotten my hopes up expecting a positive decision.
