[QUOTE="StormInside, post: 77464493, member: 230447"] Basically I've been really ill for quite a few years now. I got thyroid cancer. The treatment caused me to develop heart problems, which caused a blood clot, which caused a stroke. Now I'm partially sighted and can't walk properly because of the stroke. I've ended up on disability benefits. I'm in a lot of pain regularly, and the benefits just aren't enough to cover rent, food, utilities and I've gone £2K overdrawn. Now the bank charges on that are eating into my income even more. I'm sinking, I'm so hungry all the time because I can't afford more than one meal a day. I am trying SO HARD to hold on to my faith but being hungry, ill and stressed all the time has taken its toll and I find myself thinking that suicide would be the only way out. I can't keep going on like this. "Thoughts and prayers" and the usual platitudes don't help me. Nothing changes. I have no family to help me and it's all just too difficult. I don't know how to hold on to faith. People just quote bible verses or tell me to read the bible. it's not helping. I have stolen some items on several occasions from the supermarket because i was so hungry and had no money for food. I have a week to go until my next payment and no food. I don't know how I'm supposed to live like this. Why does god want me to be beaten down and despairing? [/QUOTE]
