My last therapist ghosted me. Is there any other alternative for mental health improvement?

Did you know that if you have any income at all - even if it's unemployment income that makes out to less than min wage - it won't matter if your income is noticeably lower than your debt & you won't get the full allotment of food stamps for your household size?

I appreciate the permanent SNAP increase; but you still have to jump through arbitrary means-testing hoops to get it.

Way to move the goalposts. The SNAP increase is unquestionably an improvement. Virtually everyone's maximum potential topline benefit increased, meaning even if their benefits are being adjusted based on income a beneficiary would receive more than they would have had under Trump or another Republican. Just because you don't like means testing doesn't mean it's arbitrary. It's specifically based on disposable income which accounts for deducting rent, utilities, medical expenses, etc.

It's not moving the goalposts; it's my direct fucking experience, as of a few days ago.
