The moving on people sent me a report on the repeal of the health care bill,and mentioned something about Social Security that freaked me out. This was about 9 hours ago,and I haven't been able to get it out of my mind,and have been obsessed about it.
If the government somehow cuts social security,I don't know what will happen. I'm not thinking straight. I've thought about my worse fears,suicide,and allot of things that I can't seem to handle. I went from calm,to afflicted with agony very quickley. I must have had a severe,or a serious panic attack. Please don't judge me. I've had these panic obsessions most of my life. I would greatly feel like a victim of circumstances. There's nothing that I can do about it. I signed the petition on their email information report. BF |

Dear Steve,
I am a member of moveon.org but I stopped reading their stuff. Their mail goes straight to junk mail so that I don't have to read it. Can you change their email so that you can block them? Folks in the House of Reps are not discussing cutting money to people who are already on social security. They are discussing current workers paying more into the system -- things like that. Social security is a popular program. Most people in the US support it. Congress might tinker with it for THE FUTURE (not now). The folks in Congress want to keep their jobs. Try to think of other things -- things that keep you calm. Relax. Ignore moveon.org. M. |

Thank you for responding to my post. You have made me feel better. Thank you for comforting me. I felt shattered last night emotionally. I've heard so much bad news,and for some reason it seems to be getting to me resently.
I couldn't get it out of my mind. I don't know why this happens. My ability to reason in these panic episodes about certain things becomes blurred. Last year this type of thing happened,and I had to go to a wellness program for a couple of weeks because the intensity of these feelings became alarming. Thank you. BF |

Please put this group on Block. THis is not something you need to have to handle. I have been keeping up on SSI, SSDI because I have lots of members of my family that would be effected. So I believe Mari is right. DOnna |

We are living in complicated times. If the Gov.dropped peoples social security,and disability,what are we going to do? They have already dropped major funding for Social Services in this state. Where could we go? What could we do? There wouldn't be anything that I could do. This bothers my greatly. I don't like to be so dependent,but I have no choice. I'm so tired of worrying,and so tired of my illness. BF |

Dear Steve,
what you did tonight was very good. just delete the email. i agree with the others if you can find a way to block it it would be best. most email providers/programs have a way of blocking addresses. there is just too much out there that seems not geared towards enlightening and informing, but scaring people into making certain choices or adhering to groups. it is like bullying. they are big email bullies. i am so sorry you had to dlal with this ~ waves ~ |
