Oh heck, I sure could use a little too. A dozen years ago I started antidepressants and their Big Pharma poison took almost everything from me, and it took me 5 years to to the bottom and another 7 to crawl out broken and broke. I'm still barely scraping by monthly on disability but technically could have found a job and maybe held it for a couple years - maybe. Call me a moocher, but I feel I contribute in my own way by fighting the thing I'm dependent on, online. I don't do games, TV, or movies like many. And while I'm poor I'm also free - and am planning an epic comeback with my talents (if I could just focus and finish my first draft) to share and seek support. I thought my cautionary fictional story was powerful before the COVID, but now it seems more relevant than ever.
