Oh that is not much welfare money. Can u do part time and welfare?
In the uk they do this.
3 10 hour shifts is good.

No because my job doesn’t offer part time and the max I could make per month is like $1200 gross. Right now if I work full time I bring in about $3600 gross. It’s worth it for me to try and make it on my own. I’m 28 and I’ve been on my own for 10 years. I’ll figure it out.

@Zoe , in the US, to continue disability payments you have to average $1260 or less every 4.33 weeks. But it costs way more than that to live. So people end up giving up their disability because they’ll be on the street otherwise.
I am making $700/month in disability money. But I will lose that soon because I bring home a little over the $1260/4.33 weeks limit.
@Hanna_Foxx Youre doing great! I’m so impressed that you haven’t given up even though it’s so hard. Good job!

Thanks for the vote of confidence @Lilyofthevalley it’s been a struggle today but I’m finally at the end. I got 13 minutes left and I’m not gonna take another call cause that would put me over my shift end time. They want us to go up till 5 minutes before 5:30 but calls can take anywhere from a few minutes to 30+ minutes. I’m just tired and worn down 3 days of 10hour shifts in a row. My dishes haven’t been done in three days and I don’t know if I’ve even showered in the past 3 days. Work is taking everything from me so I try my best to get stuff done on my days off.
I’m off tomorrow but I got an all women’s 5k race to go to tomorrow. So I gotta be up early for that. But I’ll nap tomorrow after I get home.

I’m happy for you that you got through 3 whole 10 day shifts!!! I’m so happy for you.
Today, I’d try my best to keep my mind off work. As soon as work pops into your head, focus on the 5K or something else in your life. Give yourself a much needed mental break.
