Help Me Overcome Pain and Hardship

Hi folks, it's me again. Once again, very humbly asking for help. I know this has been ongoing for quite some time, and asking is an absolutely scary thing to do.

I've made my struggles no secret, so the short story is that I've been dealing with chronic back pain and a host of other physical ailments for quite a while. I've been un/under-employed for a good portion of that time, and I am behind financially and struggling to catch up. I have applied for Disability, but that process takes a long time and is rarely successful the first time around. I'm working side gigs and hustling for more while trying to navigate the horrible job market and land something I can either do from home or do physically with the limitations I have.

I'm worse off than a lot of people realize. I've been physically capable of traveling by subway only one time during 2025. I have to take a medical transport service to all of my doctor's appointments. I can barely stand for any extended period of time, let alone walk without intense pain. I'm going to physical therapy and doing all of the things I'm supposed to do to "get better," but I'm very limited. I have had to use both a cane and a wheelchair this year as mobility aids.

All of this has been incredibly detrimental to my mental health and well-being. Between the pain, the sadness, the depression, and the loneliness not being able to socialize or work has caused, plus the constant financial strain, I'm hanging by a thread. Barely. Everyone keeps telling me not to give up, and I'm doing my best, but every day is a legitimate struggle.

I have been so humbled by all of the help that I have received. I feel like utter garbage for having to ask for more. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, and it feels like it will never end. Funds will be used to catch up on what I owe and pay what is currently due. I'm trying to climb out of this awful place I've ended up, and I know that I'd be much, much worse off without the gracious help I've already received. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul.

Archem says thank you as well.
