Hi, everyone! Brutum/Phil here. I hate being so useless these days. There was a time when I was successful and helped others the way I am asking for help now. Asking for help again and again. I feel so useless and am so embarrassed that I keep ending back here. The community has supported me so much and in ways I will never be able to repay.

I am struggling again and I am sorry I'm not the person I once was. I am a couple months behind on rent and bills. I tried so hard to make sure I hit the ground running this year, but I failed. I got really sick the last day of 2022. That lead to complications with my liver failure. I ended up fainting and having my feet gave out. The first time I was only slightly injured. The second time I instinctively caught my fall with with my wrist. I broke my forearm and compacted the bones. This whole month has been one bad event after another and I've only worked only a few days. Even those few days were a struggle too, but I had to work. I am not sure when I can return to work assuming I still have a job.

I need help. This community has given more help than I deserve and have no right to ask again. I just don't know what else to do. Please help me if you can. Many of you know when I was able I gave freely.

Please help me.
