not a good day

[hlangdon]

Been on and off the phone today with office of temporary assistance and each time I can feel my anxiety attack coming on. Trying to get situated with housing through them due to my situation. I cant get help from them unless my cash assistance is valid which it is. Now I have to wait for a social worker to call me back to help with housing. They just put in the mail a med 1 form for my dr to fill out next Monday. At this point I have a feeling I'll be living on the streets and won't be able to get any of my medications for the anxiety or for my diabetes. Felt like they were giving me the run around. I spoke to one person last month who told me to call the beginning of this month and Now I have to wait again and was also told to call 211 to be put on a waiting list for shelter. UGH.

I’m sorry you’re not having a good day.

The system can be so helpful at times, but a real bitch to navigate.

Not having stable housing is so stressful.

I’ve been homeless with children before, staying wherever friends/family would let us after leaving a DV situation.

After a very long, painful, & miserable process we made it into low income housing... which in itself has been its own nightmare.

Sometimes it feels like the nightmares are endless, but I hold hope.

Stay persistent & don’t give up.

I wish you luck & I’m sorry for your pain.

thank you brokenlight. It kills me that they have given me such a hard time since day 1. First they deny me cash assistance and I fought it and won and was a mistake on thier end. Now this with being told different things. I could have been somewhere by now. My anxiety attack is still out of control and know my meds will need to be adjusted again

I hope you have someone who can help you with the adjustment of your medications & find the perfect fit.
