Title: Feeling hopeless
Post by: ladycasshmere on September 08, 2021, 06:28:31 pm
Today it finally hit me that I am suffering from depression. I injured my back at work in December of last year.  I went back to work after only 3 days of being off with light duty restrictions. My job violated the restrictions and had me heavy lifting. After my mri. test returned my dr. pulled me off work. My lower disc in my back is damaged and bulging because it is out of place. Workers comp denied my claim and I ended up having to get a lawyer. I contacted him around the time I was still working when they violated my restriction. Last week they put me through four hours of work conditioning that left me in so much pain that my dr. discontinued it. Work conditioning is used to determine how much you can do before they send you back to work. I had filed for unemployment because I only qualified for $300 in temporary disability. Now they want me to pay back unemployment. I filed an appeal because I have nothing. I haven't been able to do to my job since January due to my injury. I have times when its difficult to sit and walk. To make matters worse my ex came by trying to sweet talk me about getting back together. Come to find out he has a baby on the way with his other ex. When it rains it pours. I don't know what to do financially. I tried to publish my book, but they wanted way too much money. I feel so lost. I have enough saved to maybe last me through October if I am lucky.

Just don't give up. Always remember that financial problems are temporary, and I'm sure you can come up with a few ideas on how to earn money. You need to care about your mental health first. When I was at my lowest, CBD oil helped me feel more active and alive, and you can check this page https://joyorganics.com/can-you-eat-raw-hemp-leaves/ (https://joyorganics.com/can-you-eat-raw-hemp-leaves/) to learn some information that can be beneficial for you. I hope it's going to work out for you, just believe in yourself!

Keep on pushing to get that disability, sometimes it takes a while.

I'm sorry you hit a rough patch.  This too shall pass.  Keep at it with disability they always seem to deny everything at first, and go after your employer as well.  I hope things are better for you soon.

I'm praying things work out for you.  The ex is a problem and not a solution so run from him.  Check with social services and see if they can help.

I didn't know paying back unemployment was a possible thing. That's sucks on top of everything else.   :(

Did you try working from home. There some freelance sites but be careful of scams. I would google search for freelance work. Some do pay.

I am sorry for your problems, like you said when it rains it pours.  Skip the ex.  He has enough of his own baggage and you don't need it.  Have you looked into disability and other public assistance, that is what it is there for.  Maybe you could get a roommate to help with expenses.  Are you getting some therapy for your injury?  Don't give up or get down there is always hope.  Sometimes it is just very hard to see.

So sad to hear. Hope that you are feeling better and there are others that can help you. I felt that after giving birth to my son but didn't see that in the moment. It was hard when I reflected during that episode.

I second this advice!

Please, don’t go back with the ex; is your first step on not doing! You have enough troubles now! I pray your luck will change for the better into the future!🍀

It is very sad to read such comments. Now, in difficult times, it is very difficult to come to a normal life, stop being nervous and stressed. My job, for example, also makes me constantly stressed. And recently I found an online store Neurogan (https://www.neurogan.com/), which presents CBD products, I decided to read and find out what it is. I ordered CBD oil for myself and I want to say that I really liked it. Now my sleep has returned to normal and my mental state too.

So sorry to hear that and I hope that you will feel better soon. I felt that way after I gave birth to my son but luckily I gradually recovered.

A sense of hopelessness overtook me when, after a long search for a good doctor and long treatment, I still couldn't have children. I don’t remember how I found WCOB (https://worldcenterofbaby.com/), but it became my salvation, because surrogacy is the only thing that helped me to have a child and a full-fledged family in general. I don't think we should be judgmental about it.

I know how you feel, it happened to me many years ago when I hurt my back, Christmas was the worst since I couldn’t afford to buy gifts for my young kids.

Since this was posted in September, I hope things are better now. If not, get an attorney to help you out. There are programs and pro bono attorneys that can help you get through all this.

Try not to dwell on your problems and decide to take action. You have more power than you know.

And pray; seriously, if you are a believer than pray persistently that God will help you and He will.  :notworthy:

The whole world is going crazy.  It's hard to keep holding on but this too shall pass.  Everyone is having a hard time but try to find little ways to stay positive.

I understand you, depression is scary. Friend, I wish you to get rid of this terrible condition as soon as possible. I do not know, maybe it will help you https://videochat.chat/ (https://videochat.chat/) because that's what helped me get out of my depressed state. I talked to girls every day and forgot about my pain. Good luck to you!

I would try to get disability if you can't work.  Your doctor should be able to help you get it by submitting a letter with the findings of your tests.

Depression is actually one of the worst disorders, and sometimes, I feel like I'm pretty close to that myself. I'm thinking about going to therapy, and I even tried taking cbd in order to improve my mental health, but the effects cbd last (https://evohemp.com/pages/effects-cbd-last) not that long, and taking it 24/7 isn't the best idea. Hopefully, you'll manage o get out of that condition, I know how hard it is.

I know that music helps with depression. Even if it sounds funny, but it is. I highly recommend you to look at the Mp3Juice (https://mp3juice.link) website where you can download music for free and quickly. The MP3 Juice app comes with a browser extension, so you can search for music on any website. The extension also offers a way to download songs from multiple online video streaming websites.

Feelings of hopelessness should not lead to alcoholism. I know what I'm talking about. I had problems with alcoholism because of the loss of my job. It's good that my wife found a good clinic where they could put my name in order. Learn more at Abbeycare's Old Balornock guide here (https://www.abbeycarefoundation.com/rehab/glasgow/old-balornock/), I think it will be useful for you to learn about this clinic if you or your loved ones have problems with alcohol.

Hi there. The feeling of hopelessness is always scary. A person feels like a nobody and does not know how to fight it. A person loses faith and does not know how to live on. Therefore, you have to fight with this feeling. I once had an identical situation, but I live in a village and did not know can i talk to a therapist online (https://ca.calmerry.com/)  After the conversation, it became easier for me because we found my problem and the therapist gave me several options on how to overcome this condition.

It's hard to deal with depression for sure. Losing my son and then my dad made it hard to be upbeat especially for Christmas.

Oh, I totally understand. My sister used to struggle with constant fatigue and bad mood, and it seemed that nothing could help her. But the solution was pretty simple - it turned out that she had problems with hormones, and now she's getting way better. I'm glad that she decided to do an at-home health test by the link (https://www.dm6health.com/collections/women-s-health), and it didn't take long to get a response from a doctor.

So, by now, I hope you are feeling much better.  I've dealt with depression most of my life.  I try to do things to keep my mind off it when it hits me.  It comes and goes.  I'll either draw (I do portraits), dance, work out, or get online, anywhere online and type in "depression" and I get a lot of answers I read till I get out of it.  Hang in there.

Aside from a few different power outages of several hours long in the days just before Christmas with no heat, it was very good! No places we needed to go, so no need to get out into the sub-zero wind chill cold. A week later it is in the mid-50's!

I feel for everyone that is going through this super cold freezing weather.  I live in Florida.  So, the cold is a welcome break from intense heat and horrid hurricanes.   I had a nice Christmas with my older daughter and her five children.  Looking forward to the New Year and am hopeful that everything gets better.  Too many bad things happened this year.  I'm optimistic for the New Year.
