Can someone comfort me?

I’m dealing with a lot of bad things right now and need support. I have bad insomnia and ptsd and anxiety and depression. I have quit so many jobs recently and struggling to keep my current job. I just had major dental work done and now I’m having bad pain in jaw and dentist referred me to pain clinic. I’m very scared of becoming homeless. And scared this will impact my son badly because he’s dependent on me. I need someone to talk to.

I’m at work myself right now. But I’ll talk to you as much as I can if you’d like. I’m sorry you’re so down.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Oh thank you. I’m scared I’m going to lose my job if I have to go to the ER because I’m responsible for a disabled boy and I would be very unreliable if I get sick. I’m becoming unemployable and will become homeless

The government protects employees from retaliation from an employer due to medical issues or disability. If they try to fire you you can sue them.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Well gosh I wish that were the case. This is an at will employment state. If I’m not reliable to watch this disabled boy they can legitimately fire me.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Even at will they aren’t allowed to fire based on illness. Or disability.

[Hidden]

They just say it’s because I can’t fulfill my duties. Ive been fired for that. But right now I just need support

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Well I’m sorry for that. What can I do to support you?

[Hidden]

Yeah I’ve explored all of those things. I’ve come to dead ends with them all. But I appreciate you responding.

I’m here for you. I am a 62 year old husband, father and grandpa. I have had anxiety my whole life. I was able to manage it with daily hard cardio exercise until I was age 30. We are talking about 3-5 mile runs or bodybuilding for 90 minutes and 40 minutes on the treadmill etc. It produces endorphins. Anxiety is an abnormal fight or flight response. At 33 a had to keep doing all this and add medicine. A beta blocker and klonopin.

I do the Wim Hof guided breathing exercises free on you tube. I am going swimming in my 58 degree swimming pool now for 15-20 minutes. Getting my head and body real cold . I would usually go to the gym after and swim laps and sauna but taking a break today. I just want you to know that we have tools . And just because antidepressants didn’t work for me. I am telling you what did . I used to get up every morning without an alarm clock at 430-530 am. And have a cup of decaf. And go workout or swim. And run my 3 small businesses I started 10-35 years ago. And give my life to my family. But 2 years ago I began a rare cancer battle and treatment and surgery. And I sold all the businesses. And I have ptsd from the whole ordeal. I am in remission 2 years, but can’t seem to find myself. The things I told you help me. If you can just try them one at a time maybe you can use 1-2 in your tool kit against anxiety and ptsd. You can look my suggestions up online or you tube for anxiety and ptsd. Cold shower or cold plunge or cold water swimming for mental health. Breathing exercises for anxiety. Cardio exercise for anxiety. You are a fighter and you will get better. And you can email me if you want advice or support because I might be strong one day . And one day you are strong and I need support.

So I’m finding that I probably have trigeminal neuralgia of the jaws. A cold shower would be torture on that. I’m trying to find out if I can sue my dentist.

Curious, do you have headaches from this disorder? I have been having bothersome headaches lately. Seem to radiate up the side of my head. I wake up each day to them. This has happened before during stressful times. Last time it was weeks before I finally felt relief.

I hope you find a hopeful answer to your problems and I am here to talk to you whenever you need. Take care❤️

[Hidden in reply to Hope4me1]

I’m not sure if you have the same disorder. It could be a number of things. I’m going for acupuncture today. I don’t have the pain right now. It was probably caused by dental procedures. I’m hoping we both get relief. Try hot compresses. Reach out anytime.
