Can't really walk away, disabled, probably permanently out of the workforce, and incredibly desperate :smith:. Dealing with their poo poo sandwich is how i'm avoiding homelessness atm. I just gotta deal until they pass. Once dad goes and mom goes back to watching ancient aliens I think things can progress, because for all the inbaked subtle racism AA may have, when compared to the giant reichstag dumpster fire of fox, I'll take it.

I just wanted to pop in here and offer an option. If you're already classified as disabled (you can also get in touch with a disability lawyer who only gets paid once you receive any backpay from SSI), you can sign up for a waitlist to live in disabled/65+ housing section 8 housing for a bit. You're allowed to pick whatever state or city for the housing waitlist you'd like. The waiting time could be up to 3 years, but sometimes shorter. Once you receive approval to go live at that location, after a year you can get permission to take your section 8 voucher anywhere else. Every single rental property accepts section 8 vouchers (they have to), and you can pick a decent apartment. You'll only have to pay 30% of whatever the rent would be, and from there you won't have to be stuck in wherever you're at.

Thank you! I appreciate all the advice. Been trying to get the disability from SSI but its taken 5 years and three entire cases (1st denial, second denial, denial by judge two times each, working on my third 1st denial, which now takes a year). So much stuff is gated behind being social security disability. I have no 'official' documentation from the govt saying I'm disabled, my folks bullying me through college and to stay at jobs i hated and could no longer do for so long was ruled by the judge as evidence of functionality, and i could work as a 'hand packager or part time photocopier machine operator'. I think there's a way to get it without SSI disability but not sure how.

*I've been told to 'hang in there' by assorted caseworkers and that the process might take as long as a decade now, :shepface:

It's a tough situation, and I'm sorry to hear that you've faced so much rejection before. If there's any bright side to that, it's that your backpay sounds like it's going to be huuuuuge, so that may make you more tempting a client for a disability lawyer to take on.

The only advice I can offer without actually knowing too much about your case is that when you get a rejection notice + appeal offer, or a letter for a disability evaluation, if you happen to get scheduled to revisit the same evaluator or judge who rejected you before, you can appeal on that reason alone. The hope is that you can meet with those who can determine your case without any preconceived notions. Also, when you get to meet a new evaluator, absolutely talk about how you are on your worst times. It's natural to want to seem like a stable person in public, but this is the one time where you have to mention if depression/PTSD is turning you into a zombie who can't even take care of themselves, maintain a job, maintain a healthy sleep or hygiene routine, etc. Of course, be presentable during the meeting itself, but yeah.

Best of luck, duder. None of this is easy, but I hope for the best for you.
