I posted previously, however my situation has gone from bad to worse. I am feeling very overwhelmed and I am starting to lose hope that things will ever improve. I'm just so tired of everything being so unbelievably hard.
As mentioned before, I lost my job recently. I am 70 years old and not in good health, having been a 3 time cancer survivor. Unfortunately I need to continue working because I did not make smart financial moves in the past. I am filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, collecting unemployment and also social security, but the cost of living is very high where I live. I can't afford to move and I can't afford to stay where I am. And since I'm the struggling middle class, there is little help available. We just keep struggling to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads. I have no family and no close friends and I'm feeling very alone, abandoned and isolated. Yes I think about suicide on a daily basis. I'm still here because I have a pet who needs me to look out for her. When she's gone, there is nothing and nobody else. I'm not ready to give up on life, but honestly, I don't know what to do. And what makes things worse is that my previous employer is accusing me of potential wrong doing, so I may be facing charges. Even though it's his word against mine, the law works in mysterious ways. I can't sleep or keep food down too well. I'm really in a horrible way.
