My parents live 1 mile from me and they ignore my depression. My mom makes comments like "Youre still alive" and "He lves!" - sarcasticallly whenever I actually go over to ask for help.
I can't believe that someone would actually help me out in the ways you and other posters have indicated. True compassion.
I don't know who to call - I don't know what's availale to me as far as public aid, resources. I live in a very small town - 20,000 people.
My medicaion has caused my weight to go from 170 to 310lbs and I can barely make it up a flight of steps. I have asthma and am afraid of dying from an attack while trying to get out of my apartment. I cannot stand for more than 5 minutes becuase my body has not adjusted for the massive weight gain. My heart has pains sometimes when I'm walking or exerting myself. However, no doctor will see me becuase I do not have insurance. I also fear I am clsoe to being diabetic because of the weight gain.
My muscles are so tense - even with the klonopin I take. I'm so uncomfortable all the time. It's 24/hr suffering and I can't take it anymore.
I need some public assitance - financial, medical, food - but I do not thinkn I will qualify because I'm not deemed "legally" or "offically" truely disabled. I hear horror stories about how people in my situtaion have had to through months and months of appeals with a lwyer just to get $200-300/mo assistance.
My parents have given up supporting me. My dad helps to pay my rent - but that's it.
I feel my life is over - my dreams are dead. I live in total agony and do not see the point to all this suffering.
I do bless all of you who have posted and have sent mesages of hope. Unfortunaltey I don't think there is enough hope for me this time.
help.
