Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

Taking a break from DS.
Well, I guess it's my turn for a break for a while.
As you know, if you have been reading my journals lately, recently I had to put one of my cats to sleep. And my sister has uterine cancer, and I haven't heard from her for the last 3 weeks, left messgs, etc with no answer, so I don't know what has happened to her, and she is the only source of my income right now.
AND, this morning, I found out that the kind Providence health care system, who has been giving me free medical assistance because I am not eligible for ANY other kind of state, federal health asistance right now -- get this -- has decided that I am no longer eligible for their program because I PARK MY TRAILER FOR FREE IN LEE'S DRIVEWAY, AND SO THEY HAVE NOW INCLUDED HIS INCOME IN MY APPLICATION!!!!! I have explained to them, that we do not share finances. they do not care. I think they just see that I keep re-applying, and are doing anything they can to get out of their obligation.
I don't qualify for OR state health care because I am NOT PREGNANT.
I don't qualify for disability because I HAVE TOO MUCH WORK EXPERIENCE -- which is not much.
I don't qualify for SSI, -- get this, -- because I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WORK EXPERIENCE!!!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
And now, the last straw I had, has blown away.
I may be on again soon, but in case I'm not, I just need to wallow in my sorrows for a while.
Thanks for all your support and prayers.
