Venting I just found out I’m losing my benefits. Need to move up my ctb date.

I just received word I'm losing my state health insurance along with most of my food stamps. I won't be able to afford my rent anymore. I wasn't planning on ctb until around summer 2025. Now I'm strongly considering doing it within the next month. It's painful to have the rug pulled out from under me like this. But I have to protect myself from the hell that is living with chronic pain, unable to work and in poverty. Now that I'm losing my home too I don't think I should put myself through the pain of staying any longer. I'm heartbroken. I'll be losing DBT group, my counselor, case management and DLS. I can't do this without my supports. The Atlantic Ocean will be very cold this time of year I hope that I lose consciousness quickly.

I'm sorry you have to go through this. Y do you lose your benefits?

I'm so sorry. Government assistance is so unreliable long term and without money housing is impossible to afford these days. My heart goes out to you. You can private message me and I will try to provide some advice and tips, but I am not sure how helpful it will be.

If you really must exit, there must be a better way than drowning :(

I hope you find the peace and relief you search for, it's so cruel to me how there's all this suffering.

Update: I'm hiring a lawyer and going through the appeals process. I make $140 too much. If it works great I'm back to original plan. If it doesn't work then at least it will buy me some more time to finish my letters and death preparations. And I won't feel so rushed.

I appreciate you all for commenting. Hugs

That's awful my friend. My mother is in a similar struggle with her benefits. The ultra rich deserve death and nothing less.

That sucks if this is the reason for losing welfare/benefits. This is so annoying. Can't you make 140$ less just on paper? Having to kys bc of money is so awful.

Where it's a long term disability benefit I can't fudge the numbers. I was planning on ctb next year once my disability expires. There are other reasons too. But money unfortunately plays a big part in it.
