Hello. .need to write this out.
I have chronic back pain, near my heart. Probably due to anger/grief about my past. This pain does not debilitate me, so I can still work and hold jobs.
However, I recently fell off my bike and injured a wrist - I have become utterly unemployable. My career/day job requires 24/7 high-usage of my wrists.
So, I moved back home with my parents. Now I am unemployed, at home, and feel practically disabled. When my stress is high (like it is now), my back pain goes nuts. Essentially, I keep having reoccurring accidents that result in physical injury. I'm sure the psychological assessment of this is that I am chronically stressed and not as aware of my surroundings; tuning out to shut-down makes me more prone to accidental injury. I fall off my bike, get robbed often, get a concussion, etc. etc. I feel so alone and isolated. And I seriously lack a stable, familiar support network. Difficult to be with old friends because my life has come to a serious halt as of now. Living in your hometown, for some of us, can be really uncomfortable.
Ahhh! I would love some advice and tips. Has/had your life ever come to a complete halt? I'm referring to when you become completely dependent on someone else for care....What did you do? How did you make it through each day without a job and a good support network?
Thanks
