I am a 58 year old woman who has lost everything. My job, my home, Yes I have a roof over my head, food to eat. My youngest daughter loves me and has welcomed me in her home. I am depressed and have anxiety. I am trying to find a job, but with severe knee pain I can not stand or walk for long periods of time. There are other health issues too, however I have no health insurance to see a doctor. I know there are places to go, but I get panic attacks whenever I attempt to get out in public. This is not me, or is it the new me! I know all the right things to do, but I dont follow thru

I'm sorry that has all happened to you Katlynn...believe it or not...myself and many other women your age here have and are still in the process of having the very same kinds of things happening to them ....so you are in very good company....we understand....it's horrible to be sick and also having such huge life changes going on around, when this is the time when you just need some stability in your life. I lost everything on my own, with no where to go and no one to help....so it's very good to hear your safe....and can have the time to try and work out how to get help with your health issues...keep surfing the net and looking for programs or clinical offers....something eventually will come up for you...don't give up...ever. I am glad your sharing here what your going through. Try to read some of the other's posts and what they have done to try and cope with their situations, it helps me.
