I just found out I’m going to be permanently disabled 6 months ago. I had a shoulder injury that kept getting worse the longer I received care. While trying to get my arm working, I lost my health insurance due to not working enough hours. I had to fight with SSDI to get my claim approved. I ended up $30 in debt from all my bills plus paying medical expenses. Unfortunately the interest kept adding up. Now I’m $50k in debt. I receive $1900 a month for disability. For the last 3 months I have been struggling to be able to pay all my bills.
My question is what do you recommend I do? Is there grant programs that can help with some bills? Should I look into a debt relief program? Or is there anything else that I’m missing? Thanks

Hi I wanted to get some opinions on what I should do. Should I continue the course or was I given a hint to not?

So the short story is we’ve been friends for 4 months. For the first 2 months I didn’t think anything more than friendship. But 2 months ago she wore this dress that made me think “Wow she is very pretty.” Suddenly I started thinking maybe there can be more than that. Now I’m thinking back to see if I missed any signs or hints on what she thought. To me it feels like I’m getting vibes from both sides.

I always get a side hug every time I see her( I can only get side hugs right now due to my arm being in a cast and sling but the hugs started before the injury). She would put her head on my shoulder when giving me a side hug or rub her hand up and down my back. I caught her a couple times trying to be sneaky and peak at my phone when I was using it. When we do see each other we end up having long conversations (45 minutes to a couple hours) where we don’t realize how much time has passed. She is constantly teasing me about everything she could. I I’ve only experienced these things with my ex’s, never friends.

But there has been a few that throw me off. When we are texting early on she’ll throw in a “my friend” but she hasn’t said that recently. Also while texting sometimes she will respond to one part of the message but not the other where I ask her something. Have been ghosted for a few days several times. It didn’t bother me because I know she has an incredibly busy job. But got me thinking if my messages are getting ignored or just she got busy and forgot to answer. Even with these things she still gives me my hugs and everything written above.

Finally I decided to see where I stand. 3 weeks ago while talking I casually mentioned that we should go out for drinks. She smiled and said ok but then started talking about the drinks she likes. I tried again a week ago. We were texting about food we like. So I figured might as well ask her out for dinner. She responded with a heart emoji but that’s it. Kept talking about other things. Not sure if I am making more out of this than what’s there. What do you recommend I do? Thanks
