I have been laid off from my job for about six weeks now. I have the cleanest apartment in town, but other than that, I just feel lost. I feel likeI am on an emotional roller coaster. One minute I feel horrible anxiety about my future. I worry about becoming homeless. The next minute I feel elated that I am no longer in the situation I was in where I used to work. Then the next minute I feel depressed because I have totally lost my structure. I just don't know what to do. I feel really bad about myself for not having a job. Part of me thinks that I should apply for disability, But that would not jive with the fact that I am on unemployment. Because when you are on unemployment, you are stating that you are willing and able to work. And if I were to file for disability, that would be double talking myself. I just feelthat with all of my psych issues and multiple physical issues, I could probably qualify for disability. I'm just trying to take everything one day at a time. However, I am just very scared right now. I don't know what's going to happen to me if I run out of unemployment. Has anyone here ever beenin this situation? If so any advice on the situation would be helpful. Thank you

You may recall I write that my sister and he husband were in an affair with my brothers wife. It's been almost a year. Mom last week asked me to invite my sisters boys to a birthday at my house for my brothers daughter. I was on my way to pick up the boys when my mom called and told me to turn around. Apparently my brother didn't know my nephews were coming and he was livid. I came home to a...
About disability... I am guessing you know that you know you have to report your application for disability to unemployment eventually. If you use a lawyer, they will tell you when so you don't end up with neither or with fraud charges (for any overlap).
Are you saying it us, hard to admit you might need disability? Like you want to feel capable? I have been through that. In the end I got a job . A lawyer can send you to a doctor (think it is part if using a lawyer for getting disability) and the doctor can maybe help you clarify whether it is right for you. Then the decision will be easier.
Good likely that you will get hired if you act?
Bad no hope of ever gettin hired again?
If your prospects are good get out of your apartment and go find a job now!
If your projects are bad you need to downsize and plan for disability which will probably mean moving to a smaller place, and living on considerably less money.
But what do you want to do?
Damn auto correct!
