I'm not exactly sure of the emotion I'm feeling right now. I'm not freaked out or worried like I normally would be, but I'm definitely feeling some sort of way.

I recently got a job (I live in income based housing) and prior to giving them my last 3 pay stubs to calculate my rent, it was $49 because well, I didnt have a job. My bills besides that total up to $106(I don't pay my phone bill or internet I'm still like 30% dependent on someone else; housing authority pays the water bill).

Well my last 3 pay stubs were $96, $47, and $41 and I havent worked in two weeks(to which the reasons are still unclear, I'm talking to my boss on Friday). I told this to the housing authority and that I don't know when I'll have work again, but they didnt seem to take that into consideration when they raised rent to $136. I have $700 right now and that'll last two months since I have $192 in food stamps. I can find a new job, it is just very difficult with where I live and being under qualified for everything doesn't help(no I can't do things like grub hub or door dash before anyone ask, I also can't do fast paced environments because I have a nerve disorder that makes me shake and it just gets worse in environment like that or where I am anxious so that rules out fast food).

I'm going to the office tomorrow to lay rent and while I am there I'm going to speak to the main lady directly this time about my job situation and ask how do they figure rent.

I realize I'm posting this online so any rude comments I can't really get upset about, but place only helpful/positive things because I'm already down. Any response I will rely with an edit on the post or message the person if they want me to.

Thanks for reading

No I haven't looked into disability, but I really dont think it's something I could apply for. I know people with serious disabilities where it would put themselves or others in harms way and they were denied many times. Plus my boyfriend is already disabled (but not on disability yet) and two people on disability is not a livable wage. I will see about it though, thank you for the suggestion

$700 lasts two months(maybe 10 weeks if we really stretch it) with rent and other expenses
