10. I am not sure how to find a social worker. I guess a search with that term would be a good start.

I have to say, that last time I did a gofundme, I felt slimy and guilty at the same time. I am just not the kind of person who feels right about getting money without doing anything to earn it. Of course, all of my attempts to earn any usually fail anyway, but at least I was offering something in return.

I also got hate mail. Yep, I got hate mail on that last gofundme. I have no idea who it was, but it said something along the lines of 'Are you happy now, you worthless piece of shit?' Wow.

My problem is I have this reaction to anxiety where I start to, for lack of a better term, shut down and can't do much of anything. Plus, I have a very bad case of what they call 'AAD'... Adjustment Anxiety Disorder. Mine is pretty bad. The worst trigger for it is having to move. Guess what we have to do in six months? So, I am trying to find things and I am trying to connect with things and I am trying to keep it together... but...

Thanks for the information. I hope to see if I can find something that can help.
