Served 7 years in the Australian Defence Force starting 12/10/2006 as an Infantry Soldier achieving the rank of LCPL. Medically discharged for spinal injury. I’ve been seeking help as I now suffer from a multitude of conditions.
– Alcohol use disorder in remission
– Major depressive disorder with anxious distress
– PTSD
– Tinnitus
– Chronic pain from lower back injury
The list includes over 13 conditions with 8 more pending. I have a wife who has somehow stayed with me through it all and two young children 4 (boy) & 2 (Girl)
Since Covid hit our expenses have increased overall by over 70%.
I have tried to minimise our costs by purchasing the lowest plans I can across all our bills and we’re still rapidly going in to debt. As a result I’ve been under pressure and it’s effecting my family in a major way (I do not physically harm my family) I’m quick to anger due to high levels of stress, lack of sleep and a cocktail of medications daily.
My family deserve better than what I can provide and so I’m completely desperate and willing to for go my pride and ask for help in any way.
We are living week to week and have been for over a year now. We have a mortgage of $400,000 and our credit card has been keeping us a float but is $8,000 in debt. My wife has the same car since 2013 (Barina) and is very quickly deteriorating and difficult with two children.
I’ve considered extreme methods of insurance as they really deserve a normal life.
If you made it this far, thank you for listening.
