[Diamond99]

Hi guys it’s nice to meet you all I have been struggling with anxiety and depression the past 3 or 4 months and it’s been really hard my work is a fill in job and I get paid the more that I work but I have been so depressed and upset because I am not happy where I am at I thought that I would be in love, married with kids because that’s all I have been wanting since I was a child but I am on low income housing struggling with finding my right match so it’s been very emotional and tough and financially I have been struggling a lot as well I am on disability and they refuse to help me with my monthly pay because of my job hours I have called and told them many times that I am not working full time and I have not been working as much the past couple of months I have tried to work with my payee and call but nothing is working and I am really struggling bad I don’t have enough money to buy food and have been buying alittle bit here and there by borrowing from family which I absolutely do not like doing but I don’t know what to do it’s been tough and i could use some friends who are kind, helpful, and understand thank you for listening

Welcome!

I know how you feel. it's hard to accept life for the way it is but that's what we have to do to be happier.

I struggle with it too. And trying to live in the moment. Have you looked into the food bank in your area? Some churches will help you out temporarily with finances and some even have their own food banks. I hope things improve for you soon.

Oh wow - sounds incredibly hard. It’s probably good you don’t have children. I know it was your dream but you need to take care of yourself first.

You mentioned a payee. Does someone control your disibility income?

Can you get food stamps?

Where in Texas? I live in northeast Texas. I don't have a great vehicle, so it couldn't be too far, but if close, i could do it if the OP couldn't.

Probably too far I'm in San Antonio

[AnonymousUsername13 in reply to WyattMann]

Ahh, yeah, I'm in Smith County, so it would be too far for me to drive, sadly. It takes about 4 to 5 hours to get to Houston from here, depending on traffic, etc. My vehicle isn't reliable enough to trust that trip, lol (2000 model SUV). I hope u find someone to help u with the plants. I wish the OP the best in trying to find a solution to their issues, too. 🙏

🤷🏼‍♂️ we open carry in Texas, so it's no physical danger for me. I try to treat others as i would want to be treated, so if someone needs help, i try to offer it (if it's something I'm capable of doing, & i have the means). I understand, tho. It's probably not wise to offer or accept help from strangers here, It was just my initial reaction.

I'm glad you are here, but sorry you are going through such a hard time. I hope it helps that we are here to support you.

[WyattMann]

😒 why

[WyattMann]

That feels kinda demeaning to people who are just trying to reach out for help or trying to improve themselves. Should people be scared of you since you're here too? I'd be more scared of the people who don't reach out. I guarantee tons of "normal" people actually need help the most. But I respect the fact that you're entitled to your own opinion. 👌

[Hidden in reply to WyattMann]

I think it is great to do what you did - that type of offer for work could change a person’s life.

[WyattMann in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 🙏 I know what it's like to not have help, and to have to make your own way. So if I can help others then I'm more than happy to.

[WyattMann]

Nobody offered anyone "money". I offered her a job since she said "financially I have been struggling a lot as well I am on disability and they refuse to help me with my monthly pay". And so what if I have been here a week. You're offering nothing and getting angry at someone offering help. If that makes you upset it isn't my problem sorry. Hope you feel better with whatever is upsetting you today. Take care

[WyattMann]

All I've seen you do here is criticize someone who was trying to help another person. So yeah it's sad that nobody actually knows what you do and can only see that part.

I know what  kenster1 does here and I am very grateful to him

🐬

[kenster1 in reply to Dolphin14]

took my comments down no need for them anymore.

[Dolphin14 in reply to kenster1]

I didn't see any of it Kenster

[WyattMann in reply to Dolphin14]

That's why it's a shame that this little spat even occurred. Especially when there were good intentions behind it.

[Dolphin14 in reply to WyattMann]

I didn't see the word exchange. I just wanted wanted to share that I know and I'm very grateful he is here

[WyattMann in reply to Dolphin14]

It was nothing major, just a little disagreement. I think he's just being protective of everyone here and I appreciate that actually. And I'm grateful for anyone here that helps others. 🙏
