So, it has come to this. Many don't know what I, and subsequently my family, have been going through. I was an ICU nurse and worked through the Covid pandemic. It was a horrible time, to say the least. I left to do travel nursing. At some point, I developed anxiety so bad I was calling out, trying to get out of work, and thinking of ways to drive off the road and not hurt myself or my car too much, just so I didn't have to work. Call bells and the monitors were making me freeze in place. Crying every day while working. Finally, a manager pulled me aside and said, you are in crisis and you need to get some help. I took 3 months off to do a partial hospitalization program. I came very close to getting admitted to Horsham Clinic. I've been diagnosed with severe anxiety and PTSD. Long story short, I now work part-time for Home Care Nursing and I am now looking for a full-time position and am in therapy to help my anxiety. Those three months really set us back financially and now we are at the point where we cannot recover by ourselves. Our credit is so bad I cannot even get a loan or borrow any from my equity. Our heat pump broke last summer and we've been without heat or air conditioning. We've had estimates done and to get it replaced it's at least $10,000. We just need some help and I'm embarrassed to even do this but I don't know what else to do. Friends have helped, but it's beyond needing a few hundred dollars now. My husband gets disability and has a part-time job, but it isn't enough. Thank you for listening and please pray for us and help financially if you can.
