MakeshiftPosted on October 27, 2022I've been on disability for 6 years now, from depression,stress, fear, anxiety, and panic attacks, and then a few months after I left work, my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal ovarian cancer. I had been working with a Psychiatrist, and Psychologist, but my Psychiatrist was doing nothing but pushing pills, I lost my psychologist from missing appointments, so then she told me to attend a 10 week workshop on ADHD, I was then diagnosed with severe ADHD. Right now my body is my main concern, because I am stricond with severe arthritis through my entire body, my lower back, and neck, are both Inoperable due to the arthritis. I'm really at a loss, because I feel no concern about myself while my wife is dying, there for, I have been sheltering myself from my friends and family. I can't see my future, I'm to scared. I have so many worries, it takes me hours to fall asleep. Our living arrangement is also a big concern because we feel stuck in my brother in-laws basement. Our house has been packed in a C can for the last ten year's and I feel so guilty for putting us in this position, I have also screwed up by living beyond our means, and now struggling check to check, with our overdraft maxed. I am trying to motivate myself to make extra money, but my body just can't take it, what have I done, and how am I going to dig my way out? These are just a few concerns that worrys me every day, I don't know how to proceed.
