At the moment I'm sort of stuck as to which way to go next.
Last year I was fired after signing a paper which stated everything but the real reasons I wasn't able to work there anymore; being harassed and physically threatened by a manager. The reason I signed it was because I didn't have any strength, or mental capacity left to go against it or file an official complaint (though I'd addressed it 'off the record' on numerous occasions, my coworkers had similar experiences but kept quiet about it because they were too afraid to of losing their jobs) since I was living with my dad at the time which wasn't necessarily a 'safe' or healthy situation either. Plus, I was juggling with different kind of world-views due to some metaphysical events prior to all this. The only thing that mattered to me at the time was getting myself out of that situation as soon as possible. Thats what I did.
Since then a lot has happened within my family, lots of drama which has left me feeling drained on many levels. Though I finally decided to distance myself from everyone, to sort out my own stuff. Meanwhile I've been attempting to arrange some kind of financial stability by applying for different types of 'benefits/disability', which were all rejected because by signing that paper I basically gave up on my rights to apply for anything as such, which I wasn't aware of at the time. Even after explaining the situation in great detail as to why I felt there was only one option; sign and move as quickly as possible, the only answer I get is that I shouldn't have signed it. Plus, during this process, especially this morning, I'm met with untruths, hostility and disrespectful behavior from most of the people I'm in contact with, though this morning I just sat there and didn't say anything about it, while I really wanted to get up and leave. Yes, this is a recurring catalyst.
Now I don't know what to do anymore, should I just leave it and apply for welfare or find someone who's able to provide me with legal advice, to see if there's anything else I can do? It's not something I'm looking forward to but I do feel that this goes against any sense of justice. I realize that financial security is just an illusion and money has been flowing into my life in unexpected ways the past year, just enough to get by a little while, before the stress builds up again. So I'm really, really tired and fed up with this type of 'lifestyle'.
What would you do?
