how do you guys get the important paperwork done without falling apart? my section 8 voucher was transferred to a different agency so now I have to recertify. I have this giant packet that I can't touch because I'm freaking out over it. I messed up and didn't realize I had gotten a raise and just got all my paperwork in LAST WEEK to my old worker and now I have to do it all again. I'm terrified I'm going to lose my assistance now. I'm just... drained. I don't have anything left. not that it matters terribly but I'm a single mom with 2 kids. this is my first time being alone with no partner to fall back on when things get hard... and I HATE it. I hate it so much. it's completely overwhelming to have everything fall on your shoulders.

@CameronElizabeth well, she wound up not being a great help. I called my new worker but she took 3 days to get back to me. I guess I'm turning that packet late. Idk what else to do.

I totally get that agency confusion, not knowing whom to talk to, etc. So glad you connected with someone! I hope she can help you. Of course you can steal Paper Monster! He belongs to all of us. 💕

There are groups that meet online to hold each other accountable for the task they are working on while online together. I think it's called body doubling my sister was telling me about it. I've been considering it work paperwork that I'm behind on for work. It might help you don't even have to talk I'm told
@Indigo_Dreams I've never heard of that before and I'm gonna go look that up! Sounds like it's exactly what I need. Thank you❤️
so I meant to respond yesterday but work got busy. Thanks for suggesting a friend. You reminded me of a resource that I forgot I had. There's a woman who works through the salvation army and she does just that type of thing. She stopped coming last year because I was doing so well. Anyway, I texted her yesterday and she said she'd call today. So *fingers crossed*, maybe I can get some support that way. I'd love to call my worker but because of the agency switch, I have no clue who it even is AND I have 0 rapport with them so that gives me anxiety too. Also, paper monster! Can I steal that? 😆
One page at a time. Take breaks, Foo Haa. Whenever I'm having issues I say Foo Haa, repeatedly taking deep breaths.

Do you have a friend who can sit in the room with you while you work on the paper monster? Alternatively, you could try calling your case worker. Just explain the situation, share with them what you're concerned about, and ask for help. Maybe they can help you, or connect you with someone who can. Sending you a hug. 💕
