Our safety net system is so fucked up

[progree]

1. I can't come up with anything but lame words but will try

I agree that the safety net is a major fail especially in the area of mental health. Most decision-makers, including those with the (D) after their names, have no conception of what it's like.

I haven't been quite in your situation economically, though have been close a few times, and at times in my life suffered through an awful combination of anxiety and depression worrying about my economic situation. And suicidal thoughts. (And 8 suicide attempts though none since I was 22, 40 years ago)

Please be good to yourself and good luck with the SSDI
