A little more detail: I've suffered from depression as far back as I can remember (3 years old?). Struggled through school, barely graduated highschool, dropped out of college, held many different jobs over many different fields , but never for more than 2 years. In my 30's I decided to give it a go on my own and moved into a very rural area and opened a vintage clothing store. $50 a day was great for a while while being single, and my rent was only $200 /month. After a while I couldn't afford the $200 a month. Fast forward two years later and I own my own house with no mortgage (yes it's a shit hole), and I'm struggling to pay the taxes (which are less than $1000 / year. I got a notice in the mail that the county is going to take my house / home away and auction it off to the high bidder. Anyway, I used to get by by selling my things on ebay, but my things have dwindled to the point that I can't live without the things I have that are worth anything. I've always shyed away from public assistance like food stamps and medicaide, but this past year I qualified for them, and it's a huge help. I can now shop for groceries instead of buying crap from the local convenience store, I now have dental insurance which so far, has only resulted in 6 of my teeth being removed. I don't qualify for partial dentures because I have "more than 8 teeth". Sorry for rambling, but how do I turn this clusterfuck around before I die alone and broke?
