I'm in a lot of pain. My situation. I lost job, friends, money, health, self respect, and sanity. Overnight. Very hard to take. Hard to hide it from kids. It's so much more than the lost job the kids see. It's lost job and all that brings, coming to terms with having a mental illness, rare brain stem tumor, betrayal of a friend, all the same time. I'm jumping through hoops now like you can't believe for $94 food stamps, couple hundred fuel assistance, can't get unemployment due to apparent attempted fraud problem, can't get social security card cuz the sent to wrong address. I'm utterly humiliated, sitting around takin a number, terrified about the future, failing at being unemployed, failing at failing. All my former sociopath spouse’s words are coming back to haunt me. I'm in so much pain. Please give me any words of wisdom. It’s a dark night. I’m trying to hang on.
