Help Mary Overcome Her Health Battles

My name is Mary and I've been fighting my own body and mind for over a decade. I've received multiple surgeries and psychiatric medications to manage, but I finally need to admit I need help. I was released from the hospital for gallbladder removal that caused me pain and disabled me for years, since my teen years to be specific. I always pushed through the pain but last week, I lost the fight and rushed to the ER.

I worked, went to school, got engaged, and made a little family all while not knowing why I suffered. Finally getting answers to why every day was full of pain is a big blessing. But the bigger blessing would be allowing myself to heal. I was in school for Cosmetology before my surgery and I will return once I'm well. I just got a great new job too that I'm excited to go back to.

I need help to make it to the end of my healing journey. I don't come from a wealthy or financially stable family, so I am on my own. I never wanted to admit that I have a disability because it felt shameful and lazy to claim I can't do something while everyone else could. I can admit that I am limited, I am a different person under all my smiles and I can admit that I can't make it without the kindness of others. If I've been working through tears, gaslighting my own feeling to just be told I can finally rest is an unfathomable idea. Making it possible for me to focus on healing and not focusing on getting evicted or not being able to buy food would bless me now so I can bless others when I'm well. Thank you for anything you give and thank you for anyone you tell.
