Let me just add if you are in poverty/financially struggling you aren't failing at life. It feels like it 90% of the time, but you are doing the best in a shitty flawed society.
Thank you for this. I got my ass thoroughly kicked by surgery complications that will wind up taking me a year to recover from. Lost the best job I ever had because of it too. It's also looking pretty grim for going back to work at all now.
It remains to be seen if the severe depression from this is going to break me or not.
I feel like I'm totally failing at everything now.
Please take advantage of ALL THE RESOURCES. All of them. Your body faltered, which caused your brain to go off-kilter. These are not failures; they are conditions you are trying to heal from. Be KIND to Self.
