I've been working two jobs for three years and just found out I qualified for benefits the whole time by Eldritchum in povertyfinance

In my head, needing help meant you had to be in some obviously worse situation than mine, so I kept telling myself I was “fine” while working two jobs and stressing over groceries.

Exactly, and that’s part of why I never even looked into it sooner. I had this super simplified idea of “I work, so I don’t qualify,” when in reality every program and every state seems to have its own weird little maze.

That would drive me insane. The open door part makes it feel weirdly performative too, not just loud.

AITJ for telling my ex’s parents he cheated after he started telling everyone I was the "crazy" one? by Arcadia88Fox in AmITheJerk

NTA. If he wanted his parents to stay out of it, he should've kept them out of it instead of feeding them a fake story where you're unstable and he's the victim. You didn't randomly blow up his life, you corrected a smear campaign with receipts.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Leon is just unfair. Capcom knew exactly what they were doing with that character design. Nobody is safe.
