I was diagnosed with progressive MS that has prevented me from working. I have applied for disability but I am drowning in debt. I have always thought my family was close and supportive but recently I am finding myself completely alone. I lost my father a few years ago and since my diagnosis my remaining family seems to pulling away. I am in financial crisis and my family has money but seems to treat me like a beggar or an addict that is panhandling. I swallowed my pride and called to ask for help with just utilities. I started to get emotional and both my aunt and grandmother quickly got off the phone. I am at the darkest and lowest point of my life and when I thought I could depend on family I am all alone. I have a 15 year old son who is starting to feel my anxiety despite my efforts. How do I get over losing my health, financial independence and family all at once and not fall apart? I will take any advice you have to offer.
