Struggling with health and being homeless

Hi. I’m struggling with numerous health issues which I will outline here: Chrons disease, ulcerative colitis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis in my hips, epilepsy, pernicious anemia, IBS, anxiety, depression and Bi polar. I have nobody around me (thankfully) who has all these conditions going on in the one body so I feel extremely alone as most people can relate to having on or two of my health issues but nobody I’ve met has them all together. I’m homeless and stuck in a bedroom with my one year old cat at my dad’s. Unable to use my wheelchair or trolley dolly as there is no room so I’m falling all the time. I’m also separating from my husband and getting divorced but can’t get a clean break due to my health and him being my mobility driver. I feel trapped, alone and have zero hope for my future. Does anyone else have numerous issues with their health and feel like the future will only be full of pain and more diagnoses? Because that’s all I can see and I’ve been fighting my own body since I was 14 years old. Thats 22 years and I’m exhausted and crying numerous times a day and even in public.

@SadScottishLass22 I'm so sorry you're carrying all of this. Living with multiple chronic conditions at once is exhausting in a way most people don't understand. I hit that same "no future but pain" wall, and trauma-informed therapy with Phoenix Rebellion Therapy genuinely helped me feel less alone and more in control. You deserve real support, not just survival.
