Anxiety sleep deprivation

I’m experiencing severe anxiety. My fiancé of 20 years left and took all of the money. He is wealthy. I am so severely sleep deprived I don’t know how long I can go on. I can’t even go to counseling because I can’t afford it. Don’t know where to turn.

hey, sorry about that. In deed that is a traumatic experience. But staying as a fiance for 20 years that is indeed too long.

Maybe try drinking some chamomile tea or taking some pills to calm you down?

I personally take some pills made from such natural extracts to help me sleep.

SOrry to hear the situation. Im out of a job and had to go on medicaid not only to cover my diabetic medication but also to see a dr for my anxiety meds and a therapist. All my meds are covered. Hope this helps out. I even applied for food stamps to at least have food in the house.

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry to hear about your situation :( May I suggest you call 2-1-1? (Assuming your state has the system). They will direct you to all the resources you need-food, shelter, clothing, medical and much more. Do you have family around? Friends? Support is so important. Keep talking here, too-so we can help in whatever ways possible!

Thank you very much. I have food and housing for now. I’m sleeping a little better which helps a little with coping.

Did you live with him for 20 years? You maybe considered common law marriage and have a right to support... I would consult a lawyer

I did. Ohio is not a common law state. The money is in a retirement account. I have no rights to it.
