Scared, so, so, scared


Posted: May 12, 2011

I've been awake for 5 hours.  It's now 2:15 and I haven't logged on to work yet.  There's plenty of work available.  I'm just afraid to do it.  They've set so many rules in place that it's gotten too hard to wrap my head around all of them, and many of them are now resulting in fines or just flat out not being paid for the report. 

My brain's on overload.  I feel like any grasp of the English language and grammar and punctuation has flown out the window.  I'm afraid to type a simple sentence for fear that I won't put the comma or semicolon in the right place, or put one where it doesn't belong and get hit with a fine.  I'll get an op note that I've never done before and get panicky because I don't know if a grouping of words that is dictated as one huge run-on sentence needs to stay together or broken up or if the doctor's even dictated them correctly. 

I'm sitting at my desk basically frozen in place.  I'm afraid to work and get hit with fines.  I'm afraid to not work and not maky ANY money. 

I don't know what to do.  I don't know where to turn.  I've contacted my local Veterans Administration rep, twice, asking what help is available for women veterans as far as student loans or grants or anything to start over with something else.  He hasn't replied and it's been weeks. 

We're struggling to keep two households together that are 3-1/2 hours apart.  My DH had to take a job far away because it was the only thing available and his unemployment benefits had run out.  It's a great job, but I need to stay in one place and he's in the other.  We can't afford to pay rent for the second place plus utilities and internet on two separate households anymore.  Some friends of my daughter need a place to stay, but what we'd need to ask for rent on this place is too much for them, even though it's only $300 per person with everything included.  I was hoping that could be a break for all of us, but I guess I was wrong.

I kept holdiing out hope but I don't think I can anymore.

We spend our lives worrying about things that never happen. Jump into your work and do the best you can. I will be praying for your success.

Praying for you Shirl. Fear is not of God...you can do this through Him. - anon

Ask Him for confidence and to type through you. You are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus!!

Fines that is the craziest thing these companies have come up with yet. Do we sent the fine on to the doctor when he says comma too many times-- where there is not suppose to be a comma. This just saddens me, we are the MLSs of the companies, the meat of the companies but it seems like we get paid the least and now are expected to pay fines. When are we just going have to pay to work??

A Bit ScaredSep 10, 2013
Several months ago, I had a few episodes of becoming momentarily disoriented while driving a very familiar route.  I spoke with a psychologist about it, and he said if it happened again to take note of what was taking place right before.  I don't recall anything significant preceding those events.  It didn't happen again until this past Saturday.  My husband and I were going to a wedding, and I was driving.  I came upon an intersection, and all of a sudden I di ...

I'm Scared And PanickedMay 20, 2015
I am so sorry to be writing asking for prayers for money.  I've been holding on by threads, but we now have bills coming due and no money.  We received an emergency fund to help pay our mortgage and utilities last month.  We asked for 2 months because we knew we would not have jobs yet.  I just called today and they only approved one month and we are not allowed to apply again.  Tried for a loan and that was disapproved.  We were hoping to get a relative to com ...

Why Religious People Are Scared Of AtheistsJul 13, 2011
Religious believers commonly attack atheists simply for existing. Do out-of-the-closet atheists -- even polite ones -- challenge attempts at theocracy? What, exactly, do religious believers want from atheists? If you follow the atheism debates in op-ed pieces and whatnot, you'll see that critiques of the so-called New Atheist movement are often aimed at our tone. Among the pundits and opinion-makers, atheist writers and activists are typically called out for being offensive, in ...

Speaking Of The Administration Being Scared Of Fox News (sm)Feb 28, 2014
they really must be.  They let Valerie go on O'Reilly last night.  Of course, she did duck and dodge, but that was to be expected.  I'm glad the administration is finally realizing the impact Fox news is having on people hearing the truth ever since the Superbowl interview.  They are at least putting on a show to go along with them.  If you watched the show last night though, you'd have to see that Bill O really is a moron if he thinks this admin ...

According to him, the right is confused and uncoordinated about Syria and can't speak out against Obama and his plans because he's black and they'd be taken for racists... ! If that's the case, they should come here and learn how to let it all hang out without anyone suspecting racism at all.  ...
