Related: About this forumI am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Fannie Lou Farmer said this and I use it to express my position often.
The 'sick and tired' is winning, however, and I am losing the will to fight it any more. I need help, and no one seems willing to help me. I am having difficulty stay abreast of what is going on medically as well as everything else. I cannot locate any services that can help me. I am having trouble doing things. My husband is also having issues and I cannot help him either.
The demise of people like myself is all part of the current plan. Anyone who is not out there making someone else richer is not worth one moment of consideration. The suffering is part of the plan. They don't want to give anyone anything, even a bit of hope.
I want it all to end. Why won't it end?

Make calls, look up information and hopefully you can find some respite. I find that taking action, even when things don't get resolved right away, is theraputic.

I don't know if they offer any services that will help you.
This is the only thing I can come up with.
Sorry, I read Outer Banks in your profile and thought you were in North Carolina.

(7,896 posts)The thought that I would be in even worse straits due to the rethug majority in my home state is what makes me even more sad that I can never live there again.
I have tried those Minnesota ones, but I will try them again I guess. I am literally at my wits end on how I am going to make it through the next three weeks.
The move is coming and for the first time I have to refrain from doing much or I might hurt myself... badly... I am not used to this at all. I am usually the one doing the work of three people.
This sucks.

(403 posts)I wish I had the right words to make you feel better or some advice where you can go for help.
I will keep a good thought for you and send you all my best wishes that things turn around for you sooner rather than later.
Remember, there are a lot of good people here that you can turn to at any time. You matter to us!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
