I found out today that the information that I heard on the news,and what I found on the internet about SSDI going broke in 2016 was false information.

I went to my government counciling center,and my case manager called Social Security,and talked to a Social Security agent. I said that I heard that SSDI is going broke in 2016. He said that was false information. He said don't believe everything that you read on the internet. I also said that I heard it on the news. He asked which TV News? I told him. I could tell by what he said that he wasn't surprised. I was relieved,and handed the telephone back to my case manager.

So I was freaked out,and suffered for nothing. The media spins the news to suit their agenda. Sometimes it's hard to tell what the truth is in this modern news era. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Hi BF
 

I am sorry you are hurting. I too don't have a secure future. I know how upsetting things like that can be. It puts a person into a nose dive into depression. Try to pick one thing good in a day to help distract yourself. Please post more of the beautiful pictures of space. I so....appreciate the beauty you send through. Your knowledge is amazing. Hang in there Steve, we are all in your corner. You have friends right here who care about you. Is there anything I can do to help you feel better? You are in my thoughts and prayers. ginnie:grouphug:

Ginnie is so right. Dwell on the positive things surrounding you. So much beauty.

Unfortunatley; the news "spins" so much to get people to listen to them; the truth is somehow lost in the mix. Try not to live thru what hasn't happened and very possibly may not; but in the meantime you put yourself through so much anguish.

Hi, Steve,

These things are hard for those of us who have hard days with lots of anxiety:grouphug:.


That is great that you talked to two people who allayed your concerns.
And it is great when people
1) take your issue seriously,
2) make a call to confirm the information, and
3) make sure you leave the office feeling relieved.

I am glad that you spoke up about your worries and that now you feel better.

Mari

Hi BF
 

How are you doing today? I am thinking about you. ginnie:hug::grouphug:

Hey Mary. I'm relieved that what I heard about SSDI,and 2016 was erroneous information.

I'm going through a period of relief.

I'm sad that this case manager is going to work in another county,and I won't receive her help anymore. Her last day is this coming Friday. She really helped me yesterday in getting the correct information that I was worried about. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Thank you ginnie. I'm doing much better. I found out that the original news that upset me in the first place about SSDI's end in 2016 was false. My case manager called a Social Security disability agent,and he said that I had received false information. I'm actually relieved at this time.

Thank you so much for your concern. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Steve,

The timing was great --- she was in place when you needed her.
Thank goodness for that.
I hope you get someone else just as good for you.

I've had 3 case managers. They work with you on the problems,and you get attached to them,and then they move on.:( BF:hug::hug::hug:

Steve,

Yeah, they have difficult jobs at relatively low pay.
I hope the next one is perfect for you.
