in response to The Real Cie...I don't know what to say, I have bipolar, Fibro,ADD PTSD,. I don't work lost my job, waiting for disibality, but I wont be to live on that. I havent eaten in a few days. But there is no help for me, and this is bull. We have TV minister living in million dollar home, they are worth billions. They live tax free, almost everything they buy is tax free. Company come to the US they are tax free for several years. who made these stupid tax laws?
Hey. That is such a cute dog in your profile picture. I love small dogs. I wish I could have pets were I live. They said i could have fish but who wants a fish. You cant pet it or walk it or play with it.
There are a lot of people here who need help so I'm not terribly hopeful, but here goes. I am mentally ill. I have type II bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder which partially manifests as hoarding disorder. I have hoarded objects, not animals. I have 5 cats, which some may think is "a lot of cats" but it does not qualify as animal hoarding. I am working on the hoarding problem but it is an uphill battle. Sometimes I do better than others.
In spite of my mental illness, I do work. I make well above minimum wage, as I make $17 an hour. I work 32 hours a week. This is about all I can do without it making me extremely depressed or physically sick. I also have fibromyalgia and sciatica as well as asthma and mild hypertension.
I fall into a marginalized category. Because I make the salary I do, I do not qualify for food stamps. However, once taxes and insurance are taken out of my pay, I only take home about $1400 a month. I am in an upside down mortgage in a mobile home and my credit is damaged. Thus refinancing seems to be out of the question--no-one will touch me. Between mortgage and lot rent, I pay $1100 a month.
My mother has helped me out for several years with utility bills. I do not eat much except at work. I get things like cheese whiz and crackers and canned fruit juice or jello that does not need refrigeration when I am at home as I do not have a working refrigerator.
Last year my mobile home incurred very bad damage when the water heater started leaking and I didn't know it until my son realized that the carpet in the hall was wet. The walls and floors of 3 rooms had to be removed. Overall the repairs cost over $20,000. My mother helped out with this. But she is stuck with my late father's medical bills and really can't help any more. I am ashamed to ask her for help anyway.
I do not have working plumbing except in the bathroom sink. Fortunately I am able to shower and wash my clothes at work. I do not have much in the way of furniture but I'm not so worried about that.
I still owe $43,000 on this horrible 15% mortgage, which I have had for 10 years. The original mortgage was $45,000. You can see that I am mostly paying interest. I am in a no-win situation.
I just got through paying off a bunch of payday loans that I had to take out when I was doing a month unpaid internship to obtain my LPN license last April. I also maxed out my credit cards. I still owe about $1200 in credit card bills. This destroyed my credit, which I had worked very hard to build back up to a passable score.
I have medical issues which I have not been able to afford to take care of and I have not been to a dentist in 6 years.
I feel very depressed most of the time and think about suicide every day. I am not a lazy person but I have had a lot of barriers to my success in my life.
It seems that if I had nothing at all there would be some resources from me. But since I am working and have this mobile home I fall into the Twilight Zone where no-one can or will help me.
Thanks for reading.

Help! I need help on bills. I've been disabled for some time now (I had a stroke). I have a couple of bills that have gone into collections, and I was talking to a collector recently who mentioned these resources. If it's possible I would like to get these bills paid off. There are a couple that are $2000 and not being able to work to pay these off has become a problem. I don't make enough with disability to make payment arrangements in order to pay these off. I'm considered permanently disabled. I want to work, but because of the tremor I have in my left hand and very limited use of it, I'm not able.
in response to moms123...I cannot understand...when I go to my mail...I have i private message...I cannot find it+ I go through all the pages and read them....no replies (ty anyways) How am I supposed to find something, that I have already read...ovr and ovr....God Bless All moms
I am so sick of how we, as poor people are neglected. Our economy and our gov. has really took it's toll on us. Food id too high, taxes are too high, living each and every day in fear. It's getting to where, I (cannot excuse me for being truthful) that I cannot even afford the store brand toilet paper to wipw my hindend on. I fell in Wal-mart last Tuesday, in some white shampoo, which someone had been playing around......on beige tile. I have bruises and sore muscles. I have never fallen before in a store. They said wal-mart would be in touch with me within 24 to 48 hours. I was woozy and my son helped me out with what I could afford to get. I tried to still be friendly. I have been to the dr. and he only paid attention to the bruises, but not my pulled muscles. Does anyonw have any advice? I hit hard on the tile, and I'm sure it was on camera. I am 60 yrs old with health issues. If I had been someone of importance to the city, then I am sure I would have gotten some attention. They can take my last dime...but not be responsible for their negligance! It's just not fair. I still hurt to get up and down, and my muscles are sooo sore in shoulders, neck and hip. moms

in response to moms...I meant to say in my lasr post, that my son's friends confided in me and I talked with them and tried to help. They all called me moms.
in response to moms...I see your heart. God clearly see's your heart.
the heart of our Lord is working in you.
For in our flesh dwells no good thing. So Therefor the compassion for other's is being manifested to you, and through you for other's. That is pleasing to the Lord. I'm blessed by your heart friend. As long as your heart remains on kingdom.
ALL THESE THING'S WILL BE GIVEN YOU. CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON JESUS, TAKING HEED OF GODS VOICE TO DO HIS WILL, AND BLESSING'S WILL CHASE YOU DOWN THE STREET, AND OVERTAKE YOU. = )
Testing can be painful at time's, but O the blessing's that follow.
Shalom, love, and blessing's friend.
in response to Need_yeshua...Probably, when I am so isolated,,I get very anxious. I really do want my family to be happy. I really do need a way to go to the dr. and be in some group meetings, where I can meet some nice friends. I want to go back to the little church, I used to go to. But, I live in the country and way to far to walk. I do love Jesus, and my heart aches for all who are troubled, sick, and in need. I don't want to focus on myself, yet maybe I focus too much on people around me, or neighbors. I'ts so easy to fall into that position, when hurt and a feeling of being a failure! But, you are right. I have never had much confidence in myself. Which led me to be a follower, and not a leader. Sometimes being hurt so much and put down, beat down, can turn to anger and depression. But, I love Jesus and I know he dwells in my heart and he will never leave me. If Jesus had not been with me , I would not be alive today. He has helped me through so much more than I deserve. I need him everyday and night. I pray Dear Lord, help us all,,,if it be thy will. Bless You Mike
in response to moms...you just need to refocus your faith onto God, and live the life he want's you to live.
Focus on Jesus. Focus on HIM. Read the word, and do the word.
You need to remove your eyes from the castle that is upon the sand. For that sand is sinking sand.
Your eye's need to stay, in faith, in trust, and in hope in Jesus.
For HIS castle is built upon the rock.
Jesus is that rock, and that rock is unshakable.
I relate allot to what you go through, and slowly God is changing thing's for the better.
He is working character, and testing our faith.
Do what you can do, and allow God to do what you can't.
He has always been faithful in my life, and the best is yet to come.
Shalom, love, and blessing's.
Mike
in response to Need_yeshua...it's been awhile since, I have been on the website. I really did not know what to say to anyone. Most of all, seems like a lot of us have some of the same problems. Sometimes, I also feel helpless and have lost interest in almost everything. Seems as though, everyday is a struggle or fearing something else bad will happen. I have my faith in a higher power. But still, my heart feels empty. But I still hurt and love the good and needy people. I stay depressed 95% of the time and sleep too much. I worked and jumped through the hoops of society and was doing ok. Many years ago, seems like my life was falling apart piece by piece(and it was)..Years had taken its toll on me and my spirit. It's like watching a child taking hours to build the perfect sand castle on the beach. Proud of his hard artistic work, then watching it all crumble down around him, as people watched...then walk away. I try to think of something interesting to do, but I have no car to go anywhere and church,. I think that everyday that has come and gone, is time I have lost of making something good happen. I just wonder.....if my sandcastle will crumble down around me again. Can't take anymore. My home is in ned of some serious repairs....even the kitchen floor is falling through on one side, I'll probably not live long enough to pay it off....since I am disabled from clinical depression. I receive 110.00 in ssi and 589 in social security. Not much left after utilities and house payment. But I am thankful for what I do have. Love is the greatest gift of all. Thank you Yeshua for your wonderful inspirations.
I feel so alone and suffer from very bad depression. I know, there are lots of people who need help, besides me. I have gone through some horrible abuse. as a young mother. My daughter died at 4 yrs old and I was beaten and made to go back to work instantly. I want into shock, but by the grace of God I managed to get away from my ex. I raised my 2 sons alone and was happy for awhile. Also, I went to a technical college on a pell grant and received a degree. My life improved for awhile until my job shut down. I began getting sicker and more depressed. The abuse from my ex has taken it's toll on my 2 sons and I. One is mentally challenged, and my youngest is looking for work. He is a hard worker and is very hyper. He had to take ritalin in elementary school. I can feel his pain and depression as, sometimes he tries to drink his problems away. I feel like I have really let my family down, because I did the same thing, after my job closed . But I have been sober for many years. Anxiety attacks and high blood pressure, plus clinical depression for me is horrible. We're on a FIXED income...but still can't make it . Our home is going down hill fast. No water in kitchen...kitchen floor is falling through. Neither of my 2 sons know anything about carpentry. Nor, can we afford to pay anyone to fix it. But I thank God for his blessings. I love to go to my church. There is where we need to be. I can't go, because it's a small church uptown and I live in the country. I would like to get a car of anykind. To go to dr appointments and pay what I can on utilities. Also, to pick up medicine and visit the sick and poor like me.....I love trying to help others. I lost my baby sister at age 16 in a car accident. My best friend my mother 4 years ago. And my humble, beloved brother 2 yrs ago. It hurts so bad. I feel alone and scared for my family. Please pray for us and God Bless all of you. I need some friends.

I have been divorced since 1985. My ex was abusive physically and mentally. I had 3 children, 2 boys and a girl. My daughter died at age 4. I was forced to go to work all the time, even after 2 days of her death. He kept on abusing my children and I. I always wanted to take care, and I love my children more than my own life. I raised them alone, and went to college for 2 years. After 4 years, I finally found a good paying job. It shut down within 4 years. During that time, I bought a small home. We have lived there since 1992. I became disabled because of clinical depression and anxiety attacks. My oldest son was born with handicaps. He draws ssi. Since then, the house is in bad need of repairs. Water ran through wall behind the washer and dryer. Causing the floor to fall through in places and cracked walls. In which, insurance refused to pay for repairs and canceled my homeowners. Baseboard heat, we cannot use and now our water lines to the kitchen has quit working. My son's check was taked by social sec. last December, without notice to me. I got so far behind on house payments and my phone was turned off. My car blew up on Christmas day 2010. Foreclosure is being threatened and more. We get about 1200 per month. Rent is too high and I have 2 dogs. Cannot even get to my doctor appointments, or where I need to go. I am so depressed that, I'm fearful of opening my mail. I have extreme high blood pressure which I have meds for and a nervous condition. I feel so bad about myself,that I don't want to even get up in the morning. My credit has gone from fair to bad. I feel so alone. Never in my life, did I think I would feel so useless. Too old to try and work on a job. I get $100.10 ssi, so I get medicaid and medicare. $589.00 social sec. My sons draws $449 per month. I feel so old and helpless. But I am still hoping and praying God will make a way for my family and I, and people sick and in need. I thank God for I have a 9 yr old grand-daughter. She is beautiful and a straight A student. My youngest son, gives me problems and I worry about him. Since my daughter's death, and me having to defend them from my ex; I have been too overly protective. He's a good hard working, smart young man...but lost his job. Now he's drinks almost everyday. He has tried for 8 months to get work. I love my family with all my heart and want to see them happy. But right now, I am a very depressed woman. I'm not me anymore! Reply anyone. Thanks for reading. This is my dirst time on here. God Bless You. ps please excuse my punctuation: It's been a long time since tech college. ty

in response to CATLUV...Hi, Cat:)
Sorry for my slow-absent returns; my computer died and that puts a huge kink in my daily process trying to keep things together the best that I can. I found a good PC on ebay, so now I can send my late returns to you.
Yes, I do deal with MS alone. I have 3 adorable cats: Can-Can Canada, Keepurr,and Holiday, that share my tiny space in a one room cabin along the Rainyriver, here at International Falls, Minnesota. I moved to the Falls in 2008 on the hunch that I could spare myself a great amount of misery if I could be in a cooler environment longer in the year.
I actually closed my eyes, dropped my finger, and when I lifted my finger, there was International Falls, Minnesota. I have no family, no friends, no anything to be familiar with at the Falls other than my belief that it being on the border with Canada, I should find a longer-cooler environment.
International Falls turns out to be the coldest city in the nation, even colder than Alaska, which was a pleasant discovery I found out from the local peoples. My first winter,
the Falls broke the record to score a chilly minus-46 degrees below zero. WoW! I bundled everything I had to stay warm, went outside and took a walk & dance with my cane. It was thrilling for me to test my theory about my MS!
After 3 winters with the next one being 4 in October, my MS shows no signs in the sub-zero conditions which is the only relief I have in the year. It's an absolute blessing that I cherish everyday I look out my back window and see the beautiful Rainyriver and Canada on the other-side:)
Cat, I appreciate you very much for asking about my MS, it shows that you are a very caring person that relates to other people in very interesting ways. You've given my life a pure Blessing to know that someone cares and now you know that I care about you too:)
I bid you a beautiful day filled with unexpected treasures of warmth, splendor, and surprising best wishes from the people you meet along your day.
in response to MzGale...Well what a nice hello :) Welcome to Aidpage my friend! So glad you are now apart of our community ... I do hope you stay and bring your knowledge and friendship. Do you deal with MS yourself?
Hope to chat with you in the future.
Blessings, Cat
I just joined the awesome world of the Aidpage! Wow! Have you heard of an old expression that says, "Where have you been all my life?", today I found the answer, Aidpage. I'm very new at using a computer but I love the work skills, for possible increases for new knowledge and advance the new development for new creases in my MS(multiple sclerosis) brain.
The new future has the warmth and glow for a beautiful future, with all the folks at Aidpage. It's great to arrive alive, with the grace that there are more beautiful souls in the world connecting everywhere, everyday, to share and share alike.

in response to dimples1313...Thank you Anita, dimples1313~! God is awesome! We just have to trust him with all things and he will guide, protect and lead us to where we need to be! The times we are living in are difficult we just have to pray and stay true to God and let him bless and protect us! My Ex Landlord and I are still friends but she plans to bulldoze the house down and not rent to anyone else. I was really afraid that we were going to die in that house and I prayed harder than I ever had in my life and I just knew God would rescue us out of that situation! And he did! Praise God! If we listen he will guide us and lead us to where we need to be then he will shower us with many blessings to let us know it was his will! God Bless You! Thank you for your concern and support!
in response to Starshine...Hi, Starshine! She didn't have the money to fix the house up. She is the Aunt of a close friend of mine so I didn't want to get her into trouble plus she's a Christian too. The house is still falling down and I have a few things that I still have to get out of there. We are trying to get it out before it falls down! We are blessed to have made it out of there when we did. Everytime we go back over there I get dizzy and sick from the mold and nervous over the snakes! I love where we live now...but we are on the Madrid Earthquake Fault Line now we feel the earthquake tremors every morning~ We are considering moving again even though we really like where we are now but we can't get our money together it's been a struggle~! I dont' guess it's really safe anywhere anymore! We just have to Trust in God and let him protect and guide us! Thank you for your love and support! God Bless You! Love, MadonnaButterfly
