Still new, but wanted to post what my mom had wrote about me for a gofundme page that didn't go anywhere.

I didn't include the page itself but just what was said. I Love my Mom and I know she would give me the world if she could, but she also suffers from Depression and is just now getting help which I am so proud of her for doing that. But here is what the post said and kind of sums up some of my medical problems.

My daughter is 37 years old and a single mother of 2 son's. She was a hard worker her entire life and took care of her family. Then in Feb of 2014 an unfortunate event happened. My daughter had an emotional break down and her boss told her to make a doctor appointment and sent her home from work. She went to the doctor's and was referred to make an appointment with a therapist and a psychologist at which point once she had seen them she was then diagnosed with PTSD *post traumatic stress disorder* & Sever Anxiety. And told that medication would not help with the PTSD as her issues where to complex and complicated. And she was taken out of work, which turned her world upside down. We only thought it would be for a few weeks or a couple of months at most. She was *and is* going to therapy weekly, also going to the doctors. She was then diagnosed *in the same year 2014* with Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Asthma, Insomnia, Chronic Pain, & Bursitis in her hips after being diagnosed with the mental illnesses.

She also lost her grandfather in August of 2014 which set her back even more as he was the only father figure she ever had.

She had LTD (long term disability) for mental health for a while and in May of 2016 it stopped. She was trying to appeal for LTD for the physical medical conditions she has, but it was denied in Dec of 2016. So she has had no income since then, and the bills have been pilling up and there is nothing she can do. And now my daughter is in debt and cannot work.

She is waiting on her answer to find out if she is going to get ssi/disability she had a hearing in the begging

of March 2017 so it can take a few months to find out. Unfortunately the rep that was handling my daughters case said he does not think it will be approved. Fingers are still crossed though.

SSI/disability Denied

She does go to therapy weekly and takes her medication daily.

In 2015 she was diagonosed with

* Diabetes type 2, which was not a concern at first as her blood sugars where under control. Then in 2016 her diabetes took a turn for the worst putting her blood sugars sky rocketing and close to the 600 range her last A1C was 12.2. She is now on insulin and pills to try to control her blood sugars and she is working hard to get her diabetes under control. Last A1C was 9.20

This year 2016 she has now been diagonosed with

* NASH - (anxiety liver disease nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) which is not curable.

Things seem to keep getting worse for my daughter, no matter how much she trys to stay positive it seems that something keeps knocks her back down. We all pray that she will get better and will be able to live her life again.

My daughter is a strong independent woman and does not like to ask for help, but I am asking for help for her. I love my daughter with all my heart, she is my only child and I would do anything that I can to help her.

I am asking my family/friends and anyone that can help to donate something to help raise money to get my daughter back on her feet.

Hi welcome to the site. How can we help you? It was lovely what your mum said about you, but I presume neither of you are asking for funding on here?

[shel19791 in reply to Hidden]

No I'm not. I only wanted to add what she had said, that is why I did not add the link or anything like that. I have a hard time with everything right now and this was my first step to find additional support as I have very few people in my life. I don't think this is a place to share a donation link. I only want to find more help to cope with my anxiety and depression and hope to make some friends or find others and how they are coping as I am at my end and I don't want to give up.

Hi shel19791 sorry I should have checked if you had posted before. I usually do before I reply. I wasn't trying to be funny with you.

You are in a very difficult situation and I really feel for you as you have so many issues. Are you on any meds and/or having any counselling? I am trying to work out if you are in the UK or not as there is lots of useful information I could give you if you are, but I don't think so. Where are you please?

You sound like you have a lovely mother who clearly loves you a lot and she is clearly helping you any way she can which is great. You say you have very little support which I'm afraid is common with many of us, including me, which is why I turn to online support which is much better than nothing. God bless the internet!

Stay with us on here as we will give you as much support as we can. We all understand depression on here and many have more complex issues like you do. The site can be very quiet sometimes and with Easter even more so. I am sure you will get more replies very soon.

One thing I will add, I noticed you gave out your email address online. This is not a good idea as this is a public forum and that info could end up anywhere on the net. If you want to edit your posts/replies then click on the little downwards arrow at the bottom of your post, click edit, amend then click edit response. Your post will reappear without your personal details.

You might also want to click 'community only' at the end of your post too as this keeps everything in this community only.

Thank you for some of the information, I will edit that info. I am in Minnesota USA. I am on a lot of medications for most of my physical medical conditions, unfortunately they really do not work and I do go to therapy mostly weekly unless scheduling problems.

Hi there is a big site called Inspire who has a lot of members from the USA. I have seen them give advice on facilities available in a local area. Maybe they could point you in the right direction for practical help?
