Wow they find new ways to fuck you over. Can't submit my claim until l've had a video appointment for my ID & I can't get an appointment until fucking Friday.
I've done all I can now 🤷♀️
This week is rough already.
We've had real heat kick in, me mess up my sleep meds while trying to adjust my sleep time, some of my heat management tools need to be replaced...
I haven't applied for any jobs this week and may not get to until

“It should be the government's highest priority to ensure that inflicting this pain on people in poverty is ended entirely, not making it lawful, but at the very least she should be taking responsibility for upholding the law.”

I fucked up my meds last night and had to put so much effort into sleeping. Stressful night of forcing myself into sleeping. No it doesn’t really make sense, it just sucked.

Gonna stare at a wall today.

Not the individuals, the country, the system. And it’s not the first time it’s eaten one of its own.

Recent rejections, and the current state of things for me.
How can people be raving about me, to me, while rejecting me?
I can't do both working for myself and looking for work at the same time, and a job is still a faster route to money than a business, especially in a shitty economy where even established businesses are struggling.
