I NEED to share what I am thinking right now but it is harsh and irrational. My family and friends have told me repeatedly that if I need help all I have to do is ask. Well, I did and sure wish I had not because now I cannot quit thinking about ending my life on their doorsteps with a note saying " didn't she say anything, didn't she ask for help?" I am so hurt by the very people I have helped most and I know I cannot do anything about them but they left me with NOWHERE to turn for the very help they promised me.
My phone service is gone, my rent is past due, my car is having issues, my cat needs food and litter but not one of the people I have helped are here for me and if i were to end my life I would destroy the one person that does care, my daughter.
I hate my family and all the people that have systematically turned their backs on me right now. I know tomorrow or even later today I may feel differently but I am trapped in the country with NO-ONE to turn to yet my sister called to see whether or not my disability came through. They cannot call to see how I am but want to know if I won my case? Dang the court date is not even until the 26th.
When I went into crisis they came to get my dog but not to visit me and I never saw him again. I am so hurt right now I could scream but more than that I am scared because of $$$. I cannot even make it to town without worrying about my car. My brother has told me numerous times he would have his mechanic look at it but here I sit waiting and wondering if ANYONE actually cares about me.
I have nowhere to turn for help and I am so tired of trying.
Anyway, tanks for listening. Not sure if this is against guidelines or not but I truly need help right now and have no-one to turn to so if anyone CAN help me at least get my cat some food I would definitely appreciate it. My account is medida03@gmail.com. I simply do not know what else to do, it is that bad right now. (No negative comments pleeeeeeeeeez, I cannot cope with them right now)

Please read comments before asking me any questions. I appreciate the outreach but right now I barely have enough emotional energy to even care about my own life. I hope everyone understands.

3 members have contributed to helping me through the financial issues. Their help and the emotional support I have received are getting me through the day. If I could get just a few more people to pitch in then I could breathe again without the fear to go with the anger and frustration. I need another $250 to cover June's rent and then my landlord should be okay until I get my disability. I truly just do not know where else to turn!

I know this is back in June, but are you better now?

Zoohome Level 8 Sep 2, 2018

Thank you for asking and yes things have taken a radical turn for the best. I am honestly amazed by how much better actually.

I was hoping to wake up this morning and have this all magically disappear but I actually feel worse. I can barely drag my body through the motions and my poor cat got yelled at for talking to me. I may end up in a crisis unit today if things do not improve but I wanted to thank everyone for reaching out, especially the 2 members that donated $$$ to help me through. I feel completely defeated right now and just do not know where to turn for the help I need just to survive. I am just so tired of trying and my meds are not cutting it.

I shared this in one group and am sharing it here too. I seriously need help or I would not be asking AND I have reached out to all possible outlets before coming here so please keep that in mind when commenting or asking questions. I am truly at my weakest right now.

Things may look bad but they will get better . Sorry that you had to give up your dog . Call your brother and call him out on his offer . If you feel like screaming bury your head in a pillow and scream . Have you expressed your feelings to your family and do they know what you'r going through .

Besalbub Level 8 June 10, 2018

I do not know what to say to "things will get better". In the past 4 years I had to sell everything I own, I lost my job, bought a small motor home that I had to junk because it was full of mold (not paid off either), I had to give up all my pets except one, am 7 miles from town with no-one here to help me and now my car is acting up so I guess I am just not very optimistic right now, If it weren't dire I would not have spoke up but I do appreciate the sentiments.

Call 211 or go to 211.org

They are run by the March of Dimes and are all throughout the US. They are aware of all the places that can help you get through this.

Some pet shelters will help you out with litter and food. I had a friend who had to do this. If you contact the ASPCA they should help you.

I ran into this issue with my own family Dec. 31st. It does make you feel awful.
Did you out and out ask for what you need? Because people can be dim.

Hang in there!

RavenCT Level 9 June 10, 2018

I do appreciate your suggestions, however I have tried ALL the agencies. Even worked for United Way when I became unable to work. The ladies working in our local 211 WERE "friends" four years ago but they felt helpless to help me and they have all disappeared too.
Never thought of the shelters for food for Owlifur though. That could help.
Yes I sure did state my needs very specifically. I had no clue my family was so narcissistic until I needed them. I have always been the one they turned to for help and looking back I should have known since they always disappeared after family gatherings. Our aunt was the one that kept the family together. She would plan gatherings (100+) people, do all the preparations, py for everything and only 3 or 4 of us ever pitched in to help with any of it even if we directly asked them. Our mother would be first in the food line and go take a nap before clean up every single time.
When my uncle died I went to help my aunt with arrangements. She died 9 days later due to internal bleeding but only 2 family members stepped up to help me with her care or any of the other stuff and my mother would call and accuse me of loving my aunt more.
I truly should have had a better support system in place but my aunt and oldest sister passed away leaving me with these sociopaths (no lie) that I kept trying to love.
Sorry I am beginning to anxious again so I will stop here but yes I have tried (unsuccessfully except for food) every single outlet including asking friends on FB to which I got criticism and judgment but NO help.

@CreativelyMe Sorry it wasn't much help.

I was always one of the people who "Did" in my family.
It was quite a shock to hear their opinions on helping others. Shocking even. It took me more than a little time to put it aside. (And I still haven't entirely because I don't understand why I can care so much about people who can be this way? Unconditional on my part I guess.).

I'm glad you have food.

Have you tried a "GoFundMe" page? It's one of the few things I can think of.

Also have you considered calling your local State Senator? Sometimes those offices can tell you where help can be found. Granted that will be tomorrow.

Also it's possible to post a "wish list" from Amazon to FB groups. I've seen this done in my "cat groups" when people were in dire straights before. And of course you can post it to your FB page.

@RavenCT Yes I tried a gofundme page but all I got from my FB attempts were prayers (Hundreds of them and not one single donation) lol I have honestly tried everything I could think of before coming here to ask strangers and I have a Bachelors in Human Services so I am pretty certain I have been thorough.
I have not tried a wish list. Do the wish lists include rent, gas cards, or car repairs? Those are my main needs right now.
I did receive a donation from this post that will get my cats needs met so that is awesome and gives me some hope but I am truly tired of even trying at this point.

@CreativelyMe Waiting for disability is rough. I used a credit card. And I imagine you've tried that too.
I'm glad you got some help on the kitty front.
And wish I could help. I am on SSDI and my own needs are barely met.

Also no Amazon only really helps with your pet needs.

@RavenCT I understand not being able to help financially but you DID help me by taking the time to listen and offer ideas. That is huge and kept my mind busy thinking of solutions. You helped far more than you know. Everyone that responded helped me feel visible and more than anything that was what I needed.

@CreativelyMe On the plus side - you know we won't be praying for you? 😉

Have you asked specifically for what you need? Did you ask to borrow ? Did you say to your brother, "My car is really giving me trouble. What day can I bring it in to be looked at."? I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, I just want to be sure that I clearly understand what is going on. do you think they turned down your request for ?

citronella Level 7 June 10, 2018

Yes I stated my needs specifically. I realize no-one really knows me here but I am very specific when I talk to my family especially so they cannot say they did not understand or that I did not ask. This is definitely their selfishness being exposed. Also, when I do ask for help I ask when and how it will take place. My brother actually lives in the same house (different apartment) so he has to drive right past my car in order to leave. I asked 2 times when he would get it taken care of and told him I would like it to be done before 8 am Monday the 11th because I have a doctors appointment and he said it will be but it is not.
As in this post they know I need phone service, rent money, cat food & litter and car repairs. My mother told me to join her church. My daughter did what she could. One of my sisters ignored me completely, the other one told me she could not afford to help me and then asked me to come help her.....
I need gas money. Car repairs. Rent. Household supplies (laundry soap/tp) My daughter just bought me a month of phone service and one agnostic member donated enough for me to get the cat's needs met but yes I sure did make certain I was specific.
