I haven't posted anything on AU for months. Anyone else feeling depressed and despondent? I'm interested in the point a person reaches when they lose hope and it no longer seems worth it to go on living. im at that point now and have the means to be out of here in about an hour.
What spiritual consequences are there for people who take their lives? That's really all that's holding me back.

Hey David, how are you today? Just thinking about you and checking in.

I just got a chance to respond because I've been in the hospital having surgeries on my right hand for the past few weeks. I had a freak accident and suffered major nerve damage. Im home now after racking up over $300,000 in medical bills. Medicare will cover most of it, but I can't work anymore and am unable to pay rent this month.
It's been frustrating doing everything with only my left hand and the doctor said it will never fully recover. So things continue to go downhill. It's like the gods are trying to convince me to go ahead and end my life.
I have a few last ditch plans to avoid being homeless, but it will take a miracle for either to suceed. I'd try Go Fund Me, but i don't have much presence on social media.

I am sorry this happened. Whatever the balance is have it go through Catholic Charity(s) ... the Hospital can do that for you - they have staff that will process the paperwork...

FYI: If you owe a balance on a hospital bill there is NOTHING they can do to collect it - they cant put it on your credit report either. If they send it to collections - even better bc now that company just purchased your debt. DO NOT STRESS OVER THE BILL but see what you can get through donations to help you with the rent and other expenses - NO ONE should ever have to deal with this... an accident or an illness can destroy a persons life financially and it shouldn't... hang in there and prayers for a quick and comfortable recovery.🙏

Thanks VERY MUCH for your concern. It means a lot to get comments like yours. Unfortunately, the medical bill isn't the problem. It's the fact i cant work anymore and will soon be homeless. My right hand suffered permanent nerve damage. Being handicapped like this is something I never expected and it's made life unbearable due to the things I can no longer do.
