beyond frustration and not knowing how to point the anger to achieve anything positive or notable. I don't even know what's the next level of frustration, but I feel for you, I really do. I feel it every single day. I've been on SS for the last 2 or 3 years, but now I spend every month between checks with worrying will the next one come? Or will they "lose" my record, especially since I'm female. I spent my whole life living from paycheck to paycheck. Today, in retirement, I spend the same amount of time living from check to check, worrying over whether or not the next one comes. And until I see it in the "posted" category of my bank, I worry they'll rescind it for one reason or another... even if it's just that trump wants that month's SS to give to his rich friends. Intellectually, I tell myself that those worries are not going to happen. But SO much that could "never happen" has happened, that you just don't know anymore. And that leads to more frustration. And, without any outlet, it just grows and grows.
All I can do is wish you luck and hope you find whatever peace you can, however you can. It's all I can do for myself, too. I really wish I could offer more, Patrick.
