So depressed and hopeless

[Nohopejoe]

I'm 60 years old, diabetic, have a foot wound, probably losing my job over it, living in squalor because of my depression, feeling so alone and isolated. My ex-girlfriend who I love dearly is getting operated on tomorrow for complications from cancer treatment. She is all I have we talk every night. I am so scared I'm going to lose her, I scared I'm going to lose my foot, scared I'm going to lose my home, scared I'm going to lose my job. I just feel so hopeless. It's like I spent a lifetime of making wrong decisions. Please God have mercy on my soul

It is such an unfair life and I'm sorry that you have to endure so much. It feels as though in this life it is impossible to escape from suffering. I hope that you find relief from what you are going through.

What kind of foot wound do you have? Is there any way you can get treatment? Or maybe take a pic post it on reddit wound care or some forum to get help? I'm sorry you're struggling with a lot. I hope your ex-gf heals and the operation is successful

I have a diabetic foot ulcer. I have neuropathy in my feet and it allows me to injure myself without feeling it. I was to the doctor Saturday and he wants me to start wound care at a wound care clinic. I found out today that the waiting list to get into the wound care clinic is well over a week. In the meantime I am sure the diabetic foot ulcer is getting worse.

This is the third time this year I have been out of work due to a diabetic foot wound and I'm sure they want to get rid of me. I really need this job, I was out of work for a few years and fell behind on my real estate taxes and almost lost my home. I was just getting caught up on the taxes and now everything it's just becoming totally screwed.
