What happened to me happened 5 years ago. since that time I have
managed to survive by selling away all I owned, house, furniture,etc.
When I no longer had a place to live what I could not sell I gave
away. I have battled workers comp for 5 years and have yet to make it
to court. On the 30th of Sept I again have to undergo 5 hours of
psychological testing after waiting nearly a year and a half for the
appt.(WC psychologists not mine). I have an appeal with SDI and that
attorney says I will win but it will take 12 to 18 months to get a
hearing. I have PTSD, my symptoms have not gone away, some days are
better than others which means I am not absorbed in suicidal thoughts
on good days. I hjave nothing, I am on the verge of living on the
street. How can this happen in this country? I have worked all my
life and paid into a system I thought was on my side. I have paid
taxes, I have been a voluenteer for about 20 years prior to my PTSD, I
am a good person. So why is my life continuing to go down hill? The
man who murdered the child in the case that put me over the edge gets 3
meals a day, a roof, clothes, in fact I bet he is already out of jail
so why can't I get help from a system I paid into, worked many times
for free for and believed in? What more can I do because I am very
close to just giving up. In there anyone out there that might know?
