My Vent: The Red Created By The Govt.

[Grama-Herc]

Although I am one of the lucky few who managed to survive and make my way through the "red maze of hell" created by the U.S. govt when trying to apply for disability, I am now being forced to try and make my way through the land mines they put out when it is time to re-certify!

Today I attempted to fill out, what they classify, as a simple form on line. My stress level is the highest it has been in 10 years. This may actually put me back in therapy.

OMG, I've never experienced anything like this in my life. They actually want to know where my mother went to school. What the hell does that have to do with anything. OMG, this is unbelievable. I thought applying was bad, this is impossible and you can't argue with a computer. They leave no space for things like "I don't know the answer to this f----* question!" I can't even delete what I've put in so far. All I could do was click "save and continue later"

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ! I am screaming LOUDLY ! !

I finally called downstairs to mother and informed her I was having one of my "spells" and would not be heard from in a while. I took a pill and crawled "under the bed."

SO, Monday I am going to getting on the phone and attempt to not SCREAM at the poor person who's unfortunate turn it is to answer the phone line I am on.

I will not be easy to deal with, even if I am on pills. This was the most abusive experience of my life. Yea, that's it "ABUSIVE" !

Well' now that I have managed to vent my frustrations, do I feel better?

NO ! ! AUGH !!!!!!!!!! Yes I know Breathe Breathe Breathe Breathe !

Thank you for listening. :crazy: :wall: :eek:

You should be able to request filling out forms with assistance, if needed because of your disability.

Also I feel your frustration. I've been through the system as a welfare mother and often times been treated unwell/jerked around. Other times it was ok but when it was bad, very very frustrating...

just for Florida residents

GH,
they've probably tracked your IP address and make re-certification twice as hard for FL residents because they're jealous of your location.:wall:
I hope "under the bed" is cleaner at your house than mine.:hello:

Yea, they want to make it as hard on you as they can. In my case I think they want me to commit suicide so they don't have to pay out.

It's a test to see who can out last the other. They bank on most people giving in and going to work. That way I can use all of my earnings to pay more doctor bills and buy more pharmaceuticals to keep on working, only to get sicker and sicker until I die of a heart attack.

The next thing they bank on is that the frustration of it all will cause me to kill myself because we all need money to eat.

They are some evil b@stards IMO

Hi. I know know one's posted here in a while, which means hopefully it all worked out. Going through something similar myself. I have the disability, but completely alone and not enough to survive on.. also supposed to get local help from social services but they are telling me they are backed up 3 months on applications and won't even look at mine even though they are supposed to approved emergency situations right away. Down to 2 choices in only a couple of weeks cause I can't find anything I can do, and can't find the right resources to help, so I can either be homeless or go back to where all the ptsd started. Just had to write to "them" cause I have nothing left, and of course they are more than glad to have me come back and start abusing me again.. I'm too old for this crap. Also think early mid-life crisis starting too, got absolutely nothing left to show for years of hard work anymore. If you seen my thread, I actually was winning over the ptsd for a while, survived pretty well.. but now everything together and having no choice left but to go back it's just too much. Even worse, my last post, at least in the thread I started, was venting and think it scared anyone wanting to help, and it didn't take the next day so didn't think it would let me post back to back so couldn't even say sorry and next day was cryin and needed to post. Leave it to me to run people off right now. Sorry.. like i said, it's been so incredibly bad since this started.. can't seem to get my life back to where I can at least take care of myself anymore, like I said disability is not enough and the only other local govt benefit that would give just a little wants me to starve and die too, just like those relatives I gotta contact now wish I'd just die.. and my heads too overwhelmed and cluttered from the past I can't see anything anymore, not even find a way to get things going well enough not to have to do this to me, so I can just walk away and not look back again and start being better. Not doing good at all, and seems to be getting worse daily. Very sorry..
Me: :wall: :wall: :wall: :stupid:

Grama, how are you surviving on that program? I desperately need ideas. Can't survive on it one person alone, no other resources, cant find other options, will be extremely unhealthy to go back to relatives. Sorry, couldn't pm u..

Wish you much luck.. and to the rest of you :thumbs-up too.
