I had an awful experience with Catholic Charities years ago. The woman snapped a light on in my face, not caring about the light hypersensitivity. She was later contempotous on the phone. I've heard similar problems with them elsewhere.
I can't make those trips anymore.
I'm so sick I can't stand to think or talk. Or be conscious. It's been 35 years and I've had a thousand doors slammed in my face. I hate to say it but after 35 years of struggle, I'm becoming helpless.
I'm in Zion IL. I'm on Social Security and SSI but a very low amount. Social workers I've heard are a branch of psychotherapy, not really what we tend to think of them as. Church groups lose interest if you're not religious, judgmental. I sound awful on phone.
