HI Jennette,

Thanks   I have a friend here locally who has one of the same medical

conditions I have, the RSDS.  I can talk to her about my pain.  There aren't too

many people I can talk to about the rest.  Even with my boyfriend.  He gets so

angry if I talk about my feelings because he can't fix whatever is causing my

stress or depression.  Especially if he's the one causing a lot of it.  Oh

well.  We have gotten into some pretty serious arguments, well one sided yelling

because I'm not a yeller or screamer.  Including this morning when we were

supposed to be having a conversation.  Oh well.  I don't know how much more of

anything I can take...

 

Love,

Becky in NM

stress, dark depression and pain that affects every aspect of life.  It takes

time and work and an understanding listener to recover and see better days.

We are just alike in that we both don't like to get into a yelling contest and

argue. I can discuss anything as long as there's no violence and that counts

using words to hurt. Makes me want to go hide and be left alone. From my

childhood anxiety and abuse. Pain is real, emotional and physical.

My husband and I are going through tough financial times. He's not one to plan

ahead and spends impulsively. I knew that when I met him, and I've been poor

plenty of my life but it's a burden I don't need.

You aren't alone and can talk about anything here.

Thanks Jennette

I have lived in money most of my life but was raised by an accountant and a

genius (literally, my dad is with MENSA and is so good with money he worked his

way up from poverty).  My boyfriend and I are living in extreme poverty right

now.  Social Security is being a pain, I'm about to get a lawyer.  Both he and I

can be on Social security but are having issues since we waited to apply.  I

have a job, but it's only 16 hours per week and minimum wage.  My ex-husband is

refusing to pay alimony even though the divorce documents say he has to.  He is

military and was about to get it automatically removed from his pay, but he

found some loopholes and has gotten out of it.  Even his first sergeant and

commanders are not happy with his actions or his finding the loopholes.

On top of me working a very part time job, which works with my health issues

thankfully, my boyfriend doesn't want to do anything around the house or even

find a job he can do.  He can do tattoos, and he's very good at it since he

started learning as a child and perfected it in prison.  He has done some for

free as advertisements but keeps making excuses and putting off the pay ones. 

He says charging for them will make him not want to do them anymore.  He has

liver, kidney and pancreas issues.  I have RSDS, Occipital Neuropathy, and a few

other things.  Oh well.  He gets angry a lot about everything and likes to yell,

call me names, and whatnot.  He says he feels bad when he goes into anger at me,

but says he can't control it without his medications which he cannot afford.  I

have begged my work for more hours since I'm the only one who works so little,

but they don't want to.  Oh well.  I will keep trying to do the social security

thing...

Love,

Becky in NM
