Dealing with the pain

Dealing with the pain

Im going to talk to the SANE Councillor tomorrow night about it but Im having a real hard time dealing with being in pain all the time. Its really wearing me out. Im tired all the time. Mentally Im finding it so hard. Depression is bad. I dont know what to do, I feel so lost and so lonely. I dont feel like I have any hope left, I feel like giving up, like this is it. Sleep is hard, I sleep for a couple hours at a time but its really light and broken.

I got some final figures sorted the other day and it turns out that I cant afford to move out of home. Once things have settles medically Im still going to be paying over $1000 a month just to maintain my medical conditions, which is a fair chunk of my income. Once I realised that I couldnt afford to move out I was overcome with the feeling of being trapt. Im not sure how Im going to manage with my family and the abuse since I cant leave. Another discussion to have.

Re: Dealing with the pain

Hi @ClockFace,

I hope your appointment with the SANE councillor went well the other night.

I really feel for you being trapped financially and unable to move out from a situation you want to escape from. Perhaps you could be able to get support from a domestic violence service if that is relevant to your situation? They may be able to provide some financial support to help you move out, but I am not sure what you can do long term with such high medical expenses.
