Hi @nscappa
I just wrote a big reply but phone battery died and lost it all. Adressing financial problems, I definitely deal with that big time. Wish I hadn’t lost my entire response but I read someone suggested therapy and I highly recommend it (despite my miserable experiences). Try to find a good one that does a sliding scale for your income, sometimes it’s as low as $10-20.
SSI is my only income $1,100.
living in CA. with the highest inflation, food, rent, gas in the country. Have a car but can’t drive it, can’t afford registration, it’s almost 2 years without current registration, not to mention other basic necessities. Are you getting any financial aid; SSI, food stamps, section 8 housing, medi-cal health insurance etc.
I apologize for such an intrusive question. Not meant to be answered it’s just a possible (untenable) solution?

No intrusion here. I did get food stamps but now I don't get any, they went as high (for me) $22.00 and I was getting $23.00, so $1.00 really doesn't get much. : ) Wow, you only get $1,100 a month? I get $1717.00 a month. I have worked for about 45 years so that's why I get what I do. Actually, if I hadn't started collecting at 62 I would have gotten more. As far as talk therapy, my nurse practitioner has recommended it but I haven't gotten to it yet. I need to find one who is in my network. I really wonder what I would talk about at 76 years of age. Mostly the past I would assume. It's amazing how your young years can affect you at this age but it does. I'm rambling. BTW, I lost my car (it died) over two years ago and I knew I was in trouble because my friend also lost her car due to an accident. I'm a bit isolated where I live so that's another problem. (Hope I didn't mention that in my other comments.) Well, do take care of yourself. Nancy
