I am getting so frustrated with my dh. He wants to have a decision made immediately from the SS office and we all know it don't work that way. He's getting made at me and asking me to call them.

He decided to quit his job so now he is stressed out because we don't know where our next check is coming from, so it looks like back to work I go although he knows it's very hard on me. I'm so frustrated and very depressed. Last night I took a handful of pills just to sleep and avoid everything.

I'm so tired of so many things and this all just adds to it. THere is a whole other problem that I'm having to deal with on top of everything, it's no wonder I'm depressed and thinking the thoughts that I am. I just wanna give up. I'm tired of fighting.

I can understand your frustration. If you go back to work, it will affect or SS. So if you go to work, and you can not work more than a few months, you can put it down as a "failed attemt to return to work". That is what my Lawyer did for me.

I have been in the situation you are in. It is not fair for him to make you feel this way. Please becareful when taking "a handul of pills just to sleep and avoid everything". I am sure we all know how you are feeling. If you need to talk, I am here for you.

He doesn't understand how it will affect my SS and no matter how much I say it he doesn't get it. He's feeling like sh** and is putting all the blame on my shoulders cause he decided to quit his job. Which doesn't help the way that i feel.

are you at the point in your SS that you have a lawyer? if you do, that would be the best person for him to talk with. A lawyer could explain to him that it could decide if you get the SS or not.

He quite, he needs to find another job. I pray that you can get him to see that
