World falling apart ....Again!

Got hurt at work March 26, then got sick. Trying to find work I can do one handed. The sickness has caused me to see double vision and have to grab at the wall, tables, and tables just to walk. Had to start a GoFundMe to make rent and feed me and my dog.
Oh yeah, got a support dog now.
This is so unfair. I do what I'm supposed to and I still get burned.
Thank you for letting me let out some steam.

I do what I'm supposed to do and everything still falls apart.
Why I don't know.

I would never ask you age but as I've reached old age, I notice it seems everything is fighting against us. Especially those of us that are slow and methodical, and mostly old-fashioned. This world has become very complex and more mean, and I think big business and the GOP intend to keep our heads spinning. They also want us to live in fear, but I'm not buying it.

This have forced me to more and more thinking of simplifying my entire life, especially while watching my best friend going down with cancer.......

Hope you can find some satisfying work, and that you have some good friends there for support. Give that pup a pat on the head from your DU friends around the world. I'll bet we get a tail wag or two in return!

Thanks for sharing.......

Don't give up. Once you get a handle on your illness and can function again, one step at a time, one step at a time.

They told me on the phone that they are backed up and it will take 2 weeks.
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all.

don't have much, but happy to share.

For those who missed it, the GoFundMe link is in very small print at the bottom of Lady Freedom's post.

Hang in there, and breathe. I support the earlier meditation suggestions. It helps to slow down your thoughts and help you recognize when the squirrels in your head are getting too active.

Good luck!
