Feeling Stuck: Dealing with Financial Issues and Chronic Pain

Jyn

602d

Hello everyone! I hope you're doing well. I apologize but I need to vent a bit.. The constant stress of life is too much for me and I feel stuck. Financial issues are destroying my mental health. I haven't been able to work due to my chronic pain and other disorders. Apparently my combination of issues isn't enough to get disability insurance. Is anyone else in a similar boat? How do you deal with life? How do you break this cycle? Thank you ahead of time for any suggestions or help!

      @Nicole_J I hope things keep getting better for you! The mind over matter way of thinking is helpful. I try to remember that but sometimes it's not easy. Thank you for your reply and I hope you have a good day! 💜

      I just lost my job to anxiety but I don’t not qualify for disability either I’m on meds and go to therapy but I still have terrible anxiety and I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia so I’m kinda in the same boat but I’m trying to remind myself that it will get better and it will all work out

        @Castro I'm sorry to hear that happened and hope things get better for you soon too! I'm in therapy too but I think the physical pain issues are what's really holding me back. I got hurt in a car accident in 2016 and have had back, neck, and sciatica pain ever since. The fibromyalgia is rough too. I wish we could all just be healthy! Hang in there 💜
