Navy Veteran EX Air Traffic Controller Needs Assistance DD214 provided if needed"
I am 38 years old and have a daughter who is ten. My sister passed away on 5/27/06 and I left my 40K job in Louisville to come to NC to help my parents. She had an asthma attack at 34 and took care of my parents on a daily basis. Unfortunately, in trying to help them(my mother has MS and my father is 100% service connected disabled from the Army). I have slipped into a deep depression, which I formally had when I got out of the Navy.(PTSD, Depersonalization, and Major Depression & Anxiety.) lost my job in October, because I could not cope or think. Im being honest in hopes someone will perhaps help me. I have been able to maintain a job and fend for my daughter and myself fairly well. It hasnt been all fun, but I am not lazy, I do have a lot of issues surrounding PTSD. I do see a doctor and take zoloft as perscribed. I do not do drugs and will submit to a drug test if anyone is willing to help. Here is my circumstances: My daughter lives with my aunt, because she is taken care of and goes to school clean and fed everyday. At this point, I cant do it, but I miss her very badly and want to get a home for both of us. She is very intellegent and reads on a 7th grade level in 4th grade. My car (1995 Mazda, I tried to keep bills down) and it has probably been towed, because it died on Christmas Eve in a parking lot and I have avoided going to get it. My family thinks Im working, but in truth I havent been able to and Im too embarassed to tell them. My father had a stroke and has seizures and I dont want to worry him or my mother. I worked in the Telecommunications industry in sales for a rep firm for products like computer cable, fiber, network testers and electrical industrial products for nine years. I want to work and Im not afraid of work, Im afraid I cant do a good job until I get better. I dont have a car to go to work and have no idea how I have managed to hide all of this from my family. I need a lifecoach, some money and some really good advice on how to get out of my jam and greif. I put off greiving for my sister, because everyone else seemed to need to greive. Now, I feel better and have some energy to do something to help myself. Sounds like a lot of drama, but it is the truth and it can all be verified. I have included a picture of myself and daughter. You can see I am not a slug and usually have taken care of myself.
