Since I started having health problems, all I seem to get from people is greed, insults, or shunning.
My health started going downhill 6 years ago. After fighting through the pain and disability for two years, I became unable to work without getting trapped somewhere or falling down. I worked part time for a year, until I was refused new projects to work on. I filed for disability income three years ago. I have been getting the runaround from government agencies, instead of help.
People who I thought were my friends stopped socializing with me. They said I could count on them, and that they would help me with things, but action never happens. Organizations that should help me don't call back. Everyone seems to say one thing and do another. Most of the advice I get is to give them my possessions, abandon my three cats, and move to the slums. Other advice is to "Positive thinking will make your health problems go away."
I am barely subsisting on my military pension. Over the past few years, I sold all of my possessions that were worth anything to make ends meet. I am starting to give into anger and depression. I do not want to give into the dark side...
