Roberta, please do not let your daily living expenses become a factor especially when this increases stress that will interfere with your recovery.
There are a number of social agencies that can help you with rent and other critical expenses until you can handle these on your own. Talk with a social services person at Ballevue or call Catholic Charities--they can help or refer you to people who can. If you are a church going person be sure your minister or priest knows of your situation. There are any number of agencies who can and will help with rent etc. in a time of crisis. If pride is a factor here, not to worry. You swallow it, ask for and accept any help that is available, and then repay it in time and/or contributions when you are back on your feet.
Foxfyre, I'm not proud. And living expenses are a major concern. I have a social worker who has applied to a number of agencies for me for money. So far, nothing.
Not sure what to do on my own.
Thinking about selling my grandmother's engagement ring and my great aunt's cocktail ring. My mother's wedding ring. Hate to part with them. Not even sure whether I could get enough money to make a difference.
Tired. It's hard for me to think clearly.
As for all the good wishes, oys, and hugs, I say thanks. Can't have too many hugs, and there's no such thing as too many oys.
