In the last year, I have suffered physically, emotionally, and financially.

**Physically**

In April, I had a rare reaction to the covid vaccine (it was extremely rare, please get vaccinated). People accuse me of being an anti-vaxxer when I am fully vaccinated. It's not my fault my body reacted the way it did. 

A couple of months later, I am diagnosed with Hashimotos Disease and now Fibromyalgia. My periods are now horrible and sink my depression even lower. I miss exercising and being active. It was my stress release. 

**Emotionally**

My career is focused on working with small businesses and greatly touches on politics. It's been an exhausting two years. In November, I interviewed for my dream interview. They were really interested and suddenly went with another candidate.

My current job had not understood the challenges ​with my health and I am exhausted. I have to drive 30 minutes into the office daily to answer emails and Zoom calls. It's pointless. 

I turn 29 on January 30. I most likely won't even get to celebrate with the way covid is going. I am currently in quarantine from a close contact on Tuesday.

The only thing going for me right now is my boyfriend. The love of my life. But my family won't get to know him due to covid and I don't know what to do about it. He pressures me to get to know them but they won't let anyone in right now.


**Financially**

I bought a house in 2020. I went through three floods in my basement, new windows, new garage door, cut down eight trees, a new washer and dryer, and had to get a new fridge.

On top of that, my medical bills blew past $3000 while having to pay for all the house stuff.

**I am a firm believer in - what are going to do about it?** 

* I contacted a therapist. She left me on read. Now I need to find a new one. 
* I scheduled a rheumatology appointment, but couldn't get in until April
* I am looking into new careers, but don't know how to balance a new skill while working full time and taking care of a house by myself.

I feel so stuck. I am sick of keeping my chin up. I trying my best.
