So many people around us are in financial trouble this month that we’ve been trying to help out. We’re now at the point of spending the rest of the month in overdraft and the requests are still coming in. Feel guilty as hell.
Whatever I have had for the past few weeks will not go away. Just exhausted, have brain fog. Lungs are starting to crap up again.
I’m sorry things are tough right now. A PRN is definitely something to consider. It’s awesome you want to help so many people, but one of the golden sayings is you can’t fill from an empty cup. I know it’s easier said than done, but try to not feel guilty if you’re at the point where you can’t help people at the moment. It sounds like you’ve already done a lot.

My , old psychiatrist, always told me we have to have some self compassion , and part of that is knowing when to use a prn . There is no use in suffering if there is something that will help you get through a rough patch .
