I'm poor, disabled, a bit socially isolated
one thing I'm not doing though
is spreading doom and gloom
but trying to get this under as many sympathetic eyes as I can

And I really appreciate your link. The very worst thing we can do is to give into despair. If I should go down, I will go down fighting.
