and depressed
I am having a really hard time right now. I am very sick with the hepc, but I still have to take care of this family. They are so helpless. And treat me so badly. They act like I am a hypochondriac. I'm dying for God's sake!! If it weren't for my uncle getting me insurance I wouldn't be on this earth much longer. That's a scarey thing to have to face alone. I have no emotional support and I am falling apart. My body is attacking me and I am terrified.
I am going to be starting treatment in a month or so. I don't know which medication the insurance will pay for yet. Right now all I know is that I feel AWFUL. And I can't handle fighting with this kid anymore. I can't stop crying.
I just don't know what to do anymore.

I\'m so sorry to hear how bad you\'re doing. It\'s upsetting to see how hard you\'re struggling and yet you\'re forced to take care of others who are unsympathetic, not to mention ungrateful. You really do deserve more support.
I don\'t know if this is practical for you or not, but is there some kind of support group you can join with others who have similar health problems? When my mom was first diagnosed with breast cancer she started going to drop-in meetings at Hospice. They really helped her a lot because, though everyone had different illnesses, they all had similar struggles in their family and social lives. I think it also helped her to voice her concerns and fears to others who were not family members so as not to worry us. I believe the Hospice offered other things as well but I\'m not sure what.
Anyways, is there something like that in your area that you can try? I\'m only asking because you really do deserve a lot more support for what you\'re going through physically, not to mention what you go through in your family life.
Anyways, I really hope you start to feel better soon. Take care ... and be good to yourself!
I had tried a year ago to get into a support group through the local guidance center. No one ever called me back so I gave up. That\'s when I came here. But, now that I have insurance I am going to take your advice and see what programs are available through the insurance plan. Thanks for bringing that up. You are right. I really need some support, because I can\'t keep going on like this. Your support really means a lot to me. This is the only place I can come to and feel accepted. Thank you for being so wonderful!!! You remind me that I am not worthless and that means the world to me. I would love to give you a great big hug. You are a wonderful and loving person and I consider myself lucky to have come in contact with you. Thank you, you always make me feel better.
