Hi, first off I'm needing prayers more than anything else. Thank you for anyone who actually reads my GoFundMe page, regardless of donations or not. Either way it's nice to be heard and have more awareness on the topic. Trust me, there is still much stigma around mental illness which is sad because I mean seriously it's 2022! If you've never gone through mental illness or had someone close to you with mental illness you would probably think there wasn't any stigma issue, but unfortunately it is still a big problem.

I don't have social media and I'm not sharing this with family to share with more family because I don't want the shaming and pity looks or comments. It's easier to share with strangers. I'm already ashamed enough as it is about what I go through. I know my situation might seem miniscule to what others are going through around the world, and it is, and I know it could be so much worse. It's taken me a long time to come to realize the fact that my life and my situation does matter even though I still struggle with that because it is hard to feel significant by any means. It was difficult enough to put up a GoFundMe page and more difficult sharing this with strangers on here. Please be kind towards what I go through, thank you.

I read your website.
I'm not in a situation where I can help fund anyone.
Even my own circumstances are strained.
I'm 57 almost 58 y/o female living in my dad's house and am physically disabled.
I want to help pay the bills, keep my car running efficiently, and legally, feed my 8 cats, and sometimes it gets right down to the penny.
Your situation isn't miniscule, but another reason why we all need to hold on and Trust God.
You are significant. And special in the Lord's eyes.
Don't forget that.


You are very welcome to be here among many friends who care and pray for eachother.
I will be praying for you too.
HUGS

Hi Ciarra,
Welcome to the forums here. Please don't ever feel ashamed over something you cannot control. I too have gone through this kind of thing for decades and have simply accepted it best I can. I cry allot and, it has a cleansing effect but the despair that brings us to that point can feel like you are utterly alone in this, you are not! Please feel free to write me inbox if you would like. God loves you way more than you can comprehend, and we have some really wonderful brothers and sisters here and a few off the top of my head that once they see your post, would be more qualified in addressing your situation.
I will pray for you right now sister...He is our great provider, He will always be there while going through these issues.
God bless and keep you.
