Help me understand facebook craziness

I identified a picture of magician James Randi as "The Amazing Randi" and someone alerted that that was bullying. I got a threat from Facebook!

WTH!

Depressed today;scrubbed the floor

Thanks to everyone who responded to my messy-house thread with tips, hints, and suggestions.

Today. I took the initiative to scrub clean the absolutely grungiest section of the floor. Like, bleach and hot water, on the floor with a Scrubbie.

It looks and feels so much better now. Small victories

Does anyone here have chaos in their environment?

My last sublet was roomy and beautiful, and I kept it up. Due to ongoing mental-health issues. And feeling drained constantly, my current apartment is messy and there are unpacked boxes around. Dust bunnies and fur around the baseboards. I do keep on top of the dishes and laundry.

The apt is a bit run down, and the area around the tub not grouted or waterproofed, so there's some recurring damage in that corner. I'm terrified of the lease not being renewed. I am grateful to have a place to live, however.

Anyone else struggle with a chaotic life , home, etc? I'm off work, so I should do more, then I feel guilty and worse.

Thanks for listening

Anyone here have experience with long-term disability payments

I've been taken out of work and got my employer's long-term disability payments. I have to pay them back.

Anyone ever in the same situation? I understand the LTD company can take your SSDI back payments. I'm just waiting to be turned down (first attempt at applying) for SSDI. can the insurance company take, or put you in debt, to them if their payout exceeds any SSDI back payments? I'm worried. What if I don't have enough back payments to cover 2 years of LTD payments?

Does anyone have experience with this?

It's so depressing to watch a show about Switzerland

And wake up to being in a shithole like America.
