Mercy...
Remember when you were a kid and you'd play that game? You'd play with your friend, your siblings, your dad or uncle, and they'd bend your fingers back until you were to the point you couldn't take anymore.
"MEEEERRRRCCCCCCCCY!" you'd yell. And instantly, the pain would stop.
Don't you wish it was that easy now? To just yell it out?

Temple--Gosh. Now I know why you sounded so mad in my comment
section. Sorry. I really didn't know things were so bad. Do you not have any family anywhere who can help? Call every relative you have. Try local churches. Sometimes they offer emergency assistance. What to say? I don't even know where to begin...

Be kind to yourself, get some sleep! Try to remember the stress is temporary. Check out the renter's rights for your state, eviction may not be as close as you fear. Stop thinking about what you CAN'T do, and focus on what you CAN do. Build on every little success. LOL - easy for me to talk, look at my life! But those are the things that have helped me pull through similar situations.

Temple, you are a strong person. I haven't read all of your posts without realising how strong you are. I know that sometimes it feels as if every bit of strength in your body is being drained, but its not. Its there deep inside you, an integral part of you that no-one can destroy. Becky has mentioned trust funds. Well I will do a search and see what I can find for you. Take care my friend.

Help for the endangered and obviously eloquent writer
A friend of mine, said she saw on the net that a writer with mental health problems got sixteen hundred dollars, even though he only wrote on the internet and had no dependents. This was through a bequest fund called the Newspaper Press Fund in UK, but there are in fact thousands of unclaimed trust funds, many for writers so you should have a search around and see what you come up with, I too am in terrible financial position and even though it is not in my nature to do something like this, that is why these people left their money in trust and many of them want to continue to give to writers who struggle with health esp mental health. Good luck with the Doctor Scene, I know how draining that can be. Take care and will be thinking of you, BeckyK
