โI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason and it doesn't, but you can get through it, I did, and I'm not especially strong and I keep a list of good days on my phone so I can see them when it's bad.โ
โHello from the other side of it. In 2023, that was me. I remember goFundMe and the shame of it like it was yesterday. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It changes. It really does.โ
โTo whoever needs this: I was where you are this time last year. The worst part was rationing my insulin. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.โ
โI'm not going to tell you it's easy, because it's not. The bills pile up, and the shame is real. But you're not the only one. I've found that talking about it, even just on here, makes it a little less heavy. And ask for help. The debt management plan we're on took some of the pressure off, even if it's slow. You're doing the best you can.โ
