You're not dead. I can't begin to pretend to know what you're going through and I'll admit I was being a little bit sarcastic before. But this is Alex speaking. You might be broken but you're not dead. You might feel crushed and scattered but something is still working. You're not special or magical. But you're not defeated. There is nothing you can not do if you're willing to take the steps towards what you want. If you don't know the resources, ask. Anyone will help you. It's my not easy but even some shit dick online has your back. (Don't dismiss it, a shit dick online is why I never had to sleep on the street). 95 percent of the people you know here and in the real world are here for you. We can't magic away your problems. But we can help. To the best of our abilities.
Thanks for the kind words, they're not being wasted as I understand where you're coming from.
But the fact of the matter is I may not be physically dead, yet, but I am dying.
I've looked for the resources the moment I found out the situation, but realized those resources are so out of my league that it's hilarious.
The amount of money it would cost in treatment would completely bankrupt me for 3 lifetimes. I didn't work 20 years for me to lose every single penny I've ever made to treatments that aren't even guaranteed to do anything.
Doctor had his talk with me and I believe he expected me to break down but I just sat there waiting for him to finish so I can just leave and not think about it. It's amazing how a doctor can talk about these treatment options like they're affordable and standard like taking a Tylenol. Glom over the fact that you'll never be able to afford it without going into unrecoverable debt.
It's been some time since then and now it's gotten worse. Mornings used to suck but now they're overwhelmingly bad. I'm awake now and sick to my stomach and have to be up in 6 hours for work.
I'm able to function just fine by the time I get to work, but dread knowing I'm gonna go home and wake up feeling like shit again the next day.
As Jimmy would say, It's a tough one man.
