Hello all,
I am in a place where I’m asking for some help. I dedicated my life to my community while working with the State of New Mexico in the prisons and Probation/Parole for almost a decade.
My mental health and physical health disintegrated to a level that I needed to leave and take care of myself. Right before I left, I was hit by an F-250 truck while in my work vehicle and now have scoliosis of the thoracic spine. I do PT almost everyday with myself to walk through life each day.
I moved across country and dedicated my career to the safety of our Children’s Hospital.
Chronic pain, other body issues, alongside Migraines has been trials of how to manage. Test after test, we finally discovered areas that needed more attention. I have been referred to a migraine clinic along with urogynocologists for other problems I have been dealing with. I was scheduled for wisdom teeth removal and a pelvic therapist.
In the middle of treatment, my job let me go. Cut my insurance within the week and I had to cancel my dental and some other appointments. Therapy and Psych is now out of pocket. I have been sober for over 2 years and not drinking has saved my life. It has also opened up my awareness of how my body was feeling and functioning. And it wasn’t good.
This is why I’m here.
I have been trying to seek employment for months now and with my medical bills, appointments I need, pain of wisdom teeth growing out, and rent, I am now at my ends.
Our government is in shutdown and I am not receiving help from unemployment. I don’t have a car. I am thankful for my bike and to my local food bank for weekly groceries. I am still actively seeking alternatives for income.
If you made it this far, please consider, thank you.
