My story is quite unique as to im an alcoholic and have liver desease from it. A drinker for more than 25 yrs i have no one else to blame. Im currrently awaiting a transplant but my point is if I could only get the message out to one young person of the ramifications of alcoholism the pain and agony i go through every day that would be a blessing. I dont know why im writing this just maybe someone will take the time to read and comment on this.

things rnt going so hott ..i couldnt sign in for some reason. the docs say my time is limited and im broke about to be homeless. life works in strange ways
Aren't you eligible for Medicaid, disability, or housing there? You need to get in touch with social services, have them assign you a case worker and see what you can apply for. I'm sure there's help there, you just have to know where to get it. We're here for you.
I would look in the phone book for your states disability office. There is a chance you may be covered for disability. If you have trouble locating a office to call, I would visit the hospital and ask to speak to a Social Worker. They should be able to put you in touch with someone that can help.
this is my problem i contacted state cty and fed offices. i still have health ins which is very good until dec201. my perm disability doesnt kick in for a while. these agencies say i made too much when i was collecting sickness benefits. for the mean time while i straighten and fight all of this i have nothing about to be homeless cant work and have no food for the diet my doctor wants me on. my doctor doesnt recomend any shelters because im very subseptible to sickness and god knows what comes off the streets. plus i also suffer from anxiety and depression. thats just a start. i feel im fighting for my life but keep on getting pushed backwards. on the down side it makes me feel why even bother to live. so where do i go from here. i appoligize for venting my thoughts but if i harbor them inside ill be a time bomb waiting to go off .....
I guess the disability is offset by any money you're making now. When my husband filed for it, his worker's comp benefit had to be offset. I don't understand that your doc won't suggest a place since living on the street would be worse than a shelter. Some police dept will put people up for a couple of nights in a motel, here anyway.
There has to be more to it if you're not able to get help anywhere. If you have ins, are you still under some sort of wages with an employer? Some of the programs have income levels they deal with and that may be a cause as to why you're not eligible.
As far as venting, hey, that's what we're here for. Anytime is fine.
i didnt make that much but id have to forfeit my health ins for medicade which isnt that great.. my immune system is low due to my liver and im also aenemic which doesnt help. all i want to do is live. live and be happy and comfortable not rich. my story is a bit unique and complicated and im bad at talking about it. im not lookin for anything just maybe someone can relate to what im going through.. i still have a job with my work but have been on a medical for 1 1/2 yrs now.. where did i go wrong was it the first drink at age 13 who would ever guess i would be in this situation. i dont wish this desease on anyone for as i know the pain i go through every day and the strugle to survive. maybe someone will learn from my mistakes no one should have to go through this. as for my story im just and average person who was doing very well before the *** hit the fan. now i have nothing. why did the big man choose me maybe ill never know. i just gotta try and keep my head high and trudge through
Thanks for clearing that up for us. I can keep you in my thoughts and support you. Whenever you feel the need to post, please do so. Hang in there and if you have faith, pray. Keep coming back.
We are here to listen. Feel free to message me anytime.
i hope u all have a better understanding of what im going through. one of these days ill tell my story from the very beginning . as for now im so low from being well off to just the clothes on my back.. the friends and family you thought you had turn their back on you and treat me like im a criminal. i never had a dui or even went to jail. how can people react like that is it because they dont want to deal with me.. am i some tainted material. the worst thing other thant dying in this world is being alone. until you expierence that first hand you will know what i mean. i believe im still here for some reason but why put me through more hell than what ive been through. everyday is a fight to live wondering whats gonna happen next but i try to just take everyday as it comes and goes. if i dont pick up maybe ill see tomorrow. thats about all the hope i have left in me even though i pray everyday
