Abby, I am in the same position. I have no idea who I am these days, all my identity has been taken away by MG.

I've always been the hard working person who does everything and now I am lucky if I can read a book or communicate online with a few friends or family.

How do people discover themselves in a situation like this? Everything in my life just keeps going downhill.

I hear hope in your words and that is a good thing. I wish I had some good advice.

If you can type and work on the internet, maybe you can do something for your family online, such as genealogy, photo and story sharing, etc. People like to be connected. Maybe there is a way to support your family online somehow.

I've considered making a family website...but first of all I need to figure out my finances, I probably have about a year of savings left and then, who knows, I'll be out on the street, or maybe by then I'll be able to qualify for some kind of financial assistance or SSD, or maybe there is some sort of online job I can do to earn enough money to survive. Just now I feel pretty selfish and needy...it feels awful.to need so much help If I didn't have financial problems coming up in the nea future, I think I could figure out something little I can do to feel good about myself, something meaningful to do with my life.

Sorry...I was trying to be helpful and started getting selfish again thinking of myself...

I think we need meaning and a purpose in our life...thank you for being here to support others.
