I’m at the point where I’m ready to end it all to be honest. I came here to chase my dreams and now I’m barely making ends meet. I don’t qualify for SNAP or MA. I receive abuse every day and my mental health has deteriorated to the point where I don’t leave my bed on my days off. Please can someone help me make the month. Can someone share resources so I can find a new job. Please help me. I’ve run out of options.
