And since my health has worsened, the medical bills have gotten higher. We can't afford the medical care I need and I can't personally do anything to help the situation. I feel like a waste of space and resources. I don't want to be here knowing I am the cause of our situation. I hate that my family have to do things for me. I'm in constant pain and there is nothing I can do to fix it and because of it, I am now presenting with other issues. It's all too much. I just want to be better, to be able to help, or not be here at all so I'm not a burden.</P> Sun, 03 Sep 2023 04:25:42 GMT Leonie82 2023-09-03T04:25:42Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/i-m-a-financial-burden/m-p/573681#M49922 <P>I have an autoimmune condition that has gotten worse and I had to quit work.
