Quote From: lucymac72767I moved back to Connecticut from Upstate Ny in 2007. I have two grown boys, now, 32 & 36. I have been from job to job..place to place living. My job now is in a coffee shop in the town I live in. Previously I was a Parts Delivery driver for a magor car dealer. I hurt my foot real bad..I was out of work for 1 mo. I had applied for a job closer to home so after my two week notice..I went to my new job but because my foot hadn't healed and I was doing therapy...they would not hire me. I decided I was going to apply for SSD/SSI since I have a bad back and neck,THAT in its self is very time consuming and depressing.I am only working part time because I can only earn so much while applying for these things. I am on SAGA and food stamps from the state. I am having a hard time paying my rent, I don't know if I will have any money for October's rent. My oldest son is probably going to jail by the end of October and I am just a mess. I have started BP Medications and I am totally exhausted. I haven't slept (good) in who knows how long. I worry about my kids ALL the time and I am running myself ragged.I have gained alot of weight and I am very depressed. I have an appt. with a dr. next week and SSD/SSI. If I don't get help from them I don't know what I will do. This may sound trivial to some but to me..it is killing me.My mind doen't stop for a minute and like I said..I am exhausted. Thanks for listening....Lucinda............
If you can work part time you can work full time, go get a job and earn a living and stop asking the state to take care of you, if you haven't notice we can't take care of you we don't want to take care of you we want you to take care of yourself as many do.
get a full time job and start paying for your own way and see if you feel better, you are worring that if the state turns you down you are that much farther in the hole, you are the only one that can change your worries.
