You should go to social services to talk to a financial worker and see about getting some emergency assistance.

EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE? THIS INVOLVES HAVING ENOUGH ENERGY TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AND GO SIT IN AN OFFICE :(
I WILL LOOK INTO IT THOUGH, CERTAINLY. THANK YOU!

Damn, darlin'. I don't really know what you should do, but I'm sorry to hear that things are going poorly and I hope you feel better soon!

I'M APPLYING FOR AN EMERGENCY FUNDS GRANT THROUGH MY WORK THAT MAY, IF I QUALIFY, HELP PAY FOR SOME OF MY MEDICAL BILLS. IT DOESN'T COVER "EVERYDAY LIVING EXPENSES" THOUGH, SO I'LL HAVE TO FIGURE SOMETHING ELSE OUT FOR GROCERIES AND STUFF.
I CHECKED INTO THE "CREDIT PROTECTOR" PLAN OR WHATEVER THAT'S SUPPOSED TO DEFER PAYMENTS FOR YOUR CREDIT CARDS AND THERE'S A 30 DAY WAITING PERIOD *AFTER* YOU'RE DEEMED "DISABLED" BEFORE THE PLAN ACTUALLY KICKS IN. HOW INCREDIBLY WORTHLESS IS THAT.

United Way, Local Coops, and did you not have short term disability through work? Considered taking the remaineder of your vacation/holiday time?

I think you can call and ask about it and maybe get papers that need to be filled out mailed to you. You'd probably have to go in to sign a few things and go over the papers with your worker but it shouldn't take more than ten minutes.

I ATE UP THE REMAINDER OF MY VACATION TIME AND PERSONAL DAYS AFTER THE FIRST WEEK.
THIS WEEK I'M GOING TO LOOK UP FOOD PANTRIES AND CHECK INTO EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE! GOOD SUGGESTIONS. THANKS.
SO AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH I STARTED FEELING REALLY CRAPPY. I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY UNTIL THE WEEKEND OF THE 8TH, WHEN I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND LEARNED THAT I HAD AN OVARIAN CYST AND A RAGING UTI. SO I GOT TREATED FOR THAT, BUT FOR SOME REASON I STILL HAVEN'T FELT WELL. SINCE I FINISHED MY ANTIBIOTICS I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO KEEP FOOD DOWN. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WORK SINCE THE 7TH, AND I'VE SPENT PROBABLY TWO DAYS A WEEK AT THE DOCTOR SINCE THEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG.
THE DOCTOR ORDERED ME OFF WORK UNTIL SEPTEMBER 26TH AND I APPLIED FOR DISABILITY. THE PROBLEM IS, I WON'T HEAR ANYTHING BACK FROM THE DISABILITY OFFICE FOR AT LEAST THREE WEEKS. IN THE MEANTIME, THE BILLS ARE PILING UP.
HAS ANYONE HERE DEALT WITH STATE DISABILITY BEFORE? ANY TIPS/HELP/SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO EXPEDITING CHECKS :/ I'VE ALREADY DEFAULTED ON ONE CARD PAYMENT, AND I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE THREE MORE DR. APPOINTMENTS THIS WEEK AT LEAST.
BUT! I AM ON METHADONE AND THAT SEEMS TO BE THE ONE THING THAT IS GOING KIND OF RIGHT. IT COSTS $12 PER DAY, BUT I'M USUALLY ABLE TO SCRAPE THAT UP!
HOW YOU DOIN?!
