After 4 years, I finally got approved for SSDI. $1,100/month and an additional $81/month for my 13 y/o child.
How the hell am I supposed to live? This isn't even enough to cover rent in my area. I have a move-out date of August 31st and I have no clue what we're going to do.

Third (!!) primary doctor in a row left their position.
I don’t blame them at all, their working conditions are untenable and I wouldn’t want to work for Local Healthcare Monopoly either. But it feels like if you can even find any doctor at all in my area (and many people can’t) it’s just temporary and always in question. I really liked this person, too. They said they are going to reassign me to someone else when they can, but they don’t know when or who. I feel so stressed. It’s almost comical how much things have fallen apart in the past several years.
