ORIGINAL: LinnaeaBorealis I admit it I just submitted an application for food stamps & medical assistance online. I admit it nothing will happen for 30 days, but at least I did the damn thing. I admit it I hate asking for assistance, but I'm gonna end up homeless again if I don't. I admit it ending up homeless is just too fucking scary to contemplate!! Well, that's certainly nothing to be ashamed about. Been there, done that. Not being homeless, but, trying not to be. One should never be ashamed of being poor, as it is never one's fault, unless one is doing something particular stupid to get that way. Like, fighting with the boss, spending all one's money on drugs, etc. In which case, one should be ashamed of the cause, more than the effect, and, seek to remedy the problem. I've been poor most of my life, been on food stamps and such more than once, and, it was usually because I had to pay child support, or I couldn't get a job because of my ex-husband driving around to potential employers and telling them lies abut me, other people breaking in and robbing me, etc. It happens.
