Help me get back on my feet

Donation protected
Hi friends, I'm sure you all know how hard it is for me to ask for help but I'm trying to get better at it.

Two weeks ago I went to Sydney in the hopes of getting emotional support from my family after developing crippling anxiety over the Christmas break. Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience, was re-traumatised and my mother was charged with assault. Since then I've been drained emotionally, haven't been able to work, started going to therapy, and initiated the process of applying for the Jobseeker payment but there are more hoops to jump through than I expected. I'm embarrassed to admit that my savings are dwindling, I'm living on credit and I will probably need to sell my car if this fundraiser flops to keep a roof over my head. My family has ignored my request for support and I've never felt so abandoned. I’m taking each day as it comes, sticking to my routine of browsing job sites for full time work even though it might be too much now, painting, reading, crying, swimming, sleeping and hoping.

I know everyone is struggling to get by these days with cost of living pressures and rising interest rates, so there is no pressure to support me financially if you can't. I will be eternally grateful if you can help in any way you can.

Thank you for reading this and god bless you all.
