I'm so tired. May I talk?

19. So sorry to hear, Sunriser. 😢

It is just heartbreaking, all you have, and continue to go through.

I wish I were in a position to help you in a tangible way. 💔

Can you at least get SSI? Have you called churches? Some have funds for such situations, although many might be tapped out with the pandemic.

The only things I have to offer are ideas & websites with self-help info.

Yale is offering their very popular course, "The Science of Happiness" for free at the link below. It's very good stuff - mindfulness, self-compassion, etc. Over 2 million people have taken this course & it has a 4.9 rating. I hope you find it helpful if you opt to try it. (It is absolutely free. There is a certificate program for professionals for which they carge a nominal fee, byt for us, it is free.)
