Thank you for your support and advice!

sasvermont, I'm sorry to hear you're in a similar situation, and I sure hope it will all work out for you. I would also be dreading the thought of having a roommate; I can't stand anyone around me when I'm not feeling well, and my privacy is extremely important to me to keep my stress level down. Besides, having someone moving in with me wouldn't even help because that would reduce my social welfare. As for declaring the size of my apartment: there's no other way but telling them the real size, they will also get a copy of my rental contract.

Randi, sounds bad what's going on in Denmark now, sounds similar to what happened in Germany about 10 years ago when these horrible Hartz IV-laws were released. There were some protests in the beginning, but they soon began to fade, and now, people living on welfare are considered to be the parasites of the country - even though more and more workers need additional welfare because they are paid so badly in their jobs. It's a terrible situation, and the worst thing is that it was the Social Democrate Party that released these laws; I felt so betrayed! And when the Christian Democrates began to the rule the country again in 2005, they gladly continued with that. So who's still left to vote for? The left wing party? There are not so many options left; makes you feel utterly powerless!

Sandie, yes, it's true, it would probably stressful for everyone, but of course this is taking my anxiety to new levels! I envy my girls right now who live their little kitty lives and know nothing of these fears. Well, yes, I was already thinking about articulating my fears and worries when I have the meeting at the social welfare department on Monday, and letting them know what my doctor has said. I hope I will have a case manager who is understanding!

Asiel, declaring a part of my flat as a workplace would mean I would have to run a business, and they would suspect I have some income I'm not declaring which would mean nothing but trouble.

Pat, thank you very much!!
