Going to stop health screenings

Jaw hurts today. The damage is done. No lawyer is interested.

I'm 59 and really don't want to be here. If my jaw was asymptomatic, i wouldn't even have treated it. I've stopped mammogram screenings, colonoscopy, etc. I did get vacinated. Problems with family. Worried about money.

Don't want to be here anymore. If I get cancer I may just let nature take its course. Getting headaches.

Was hoping to use the Harris 25k to finally get my own modest condo.

They require 32 hours a week of work for medicaid, which I haven't been able to find yet. I'm honestly just trying to outlive my dad who I care for
