I AM ALLOWED TO SPEND MY OWN MONEY. I AM SICK AND I AM ALLOWED TO ORDER GROCERIES AND FOOD FOR DELIVERY. THE PTSD IS LYING TO ME, I DO NOT NEED TO SAVE ALL THE MONEY I EARN.

Save a reasonable amount, but take care of yourself! If that means a spa day, do it! If that means ordering groceries for delivery instead of going to the store, do it!

Question: are you on EBT? Or are you sure you don’t qualify? Just curious

Thank you so much for the clarification and I’m sorry you’re getting so much hate 💖 I do not currently have EBT but I’m sure I would qualify, as I don’t make much money. I make enough to get by for now. My hesitation to spend it comes from complex financial trauma due to a past relationship, that’s all. I appreciate your willingness to help while also trying to respect boundaries!

Yes, I definitely wanted to be careful bc accessing EBT means you’ll need to fill out a form & every six months you’ll need to justify it (reasonably so ofc) You might need to turn in stuff and that’s a whole thing. Which, can be super Anxiety ridden & may not even be worth it for some people.. plus you DIDNT ask for ALL OF THAT 😫. you just said “I deserve groceries/delivery & don’t need to save every penny” And I FULLY AGREE!

I wasn’t being evasive, I just didn’t want to info dump on you. I don’t mind the negative comments so much bc I honestly didn’t see them individually. by the time I checked this forum, I also saw you had asked a clarifying question; offering me an opportunity to give further info, so for that, I do appreciate that you paused and asked me to explain. Thanks!

Hi,☺️I asked bc if you have EBT some grocery delivery fees are waived/discounted/ free & I ASKED 1st before giving unsolicited advice bc you didn't ASK for advice. You simply explained intrusive thoughts. I only see a vent. However, my first thought was if you dont have EBT, you should check & make sure bc you might qualify for them & it might make it easier for you to justify spending the money & if you qualify you might also get freemedi which means you can get free frozen service ie Mom Meals
