woke up feeling bad

[atalantapendrag]

I am not dealing well at all. I am just so overwhelmed and frustrated. I'm worn out and in over my head and I just feel so defeated. Every time I try what I think might be a lead for help and it doesn't work I feel more discouraged. I'm scared and alone and hurting all the time and right now all I want is to feel safe and looked after.

You have been doing really well on a really tight timeline; it is really not right that someone who by definition has limited resources (i.e. people on Section 8 housing) can be expected to up and move on a timetable that would tax someone who is not already sufficiently both disabled and short of funds to require public assistance; moving, from start to finish (i.e. finding a new place and making arrangements to move in, getting your stuff packed and transported) in a month or even two is an endeavor that would tax most people! You are doing a really good job of dealing: you have already looked at places, and found one to apply for; that is HUGE!

Just checking: have you heard anything about the new apartment complex where you applied, e.g. has your current apartment complex sent them the stuff they needed?

I talked to the new complex today, they needed my rental history from the current complex and something from the housing authority. I spoke to the manager at the current complex and she talked to the new place on the phone in front of me, so I just have to get hold of my HACA caseworker.

That is really fantastic and you are getting a lot accomplished, especially given that you have to deal with bureaucracy, and government bureaucracy at that, the wheels of which always grind exceeding slow. Good luck with your caseworker!

I'll have to just keep calling until I reach her >.

That's the only thing to be done--- good luck!
