Where can I turn when my world is falling apart?
My brother just had a heart attack and my mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. It has been SO stressful. So, between flying home and sending money back to my family to help them out in this time, I was diagnosed with HIV! (And that starts fears of dying from AIDS, you know?) My car just got repossessed to top everything off. I know that I've made bad decisions with my car and, obviously, getting HIV by being careless but this feels so extreme. It's so much pressure and stress and I don't know what I should do or who I can turn to right now for help. Where do I start? What do I do? I know I have to do something...I can't just sit here and cry about how bad my life is going all of a sudden...right?

A very personal friend of mine was diagnosed with HIV as well. He went to a counselor because of the illness received medication as well as a stiffen for monthly rent since he was unable to work.
If you are taking medication and there are counselors at the clinic you are attending they have so many programs to help you.
Having a heart attack is serious but your brother has support back home where he is located and your mother having Parkinson's disease is a disease that causes tremors and shaking but it can be controlled if medication is properly taken.
PLEASE take care of you first. If you become distressed you know that you immune system will be affected and you cant have that at this time.
Take a deep breath and start by taking care of you right now and find some resources for your place of residence and bills first. Im sure that they also have someone to pick you up for your doctor visits as well. Think positive
Good luck

I'm so sorry for everything you are going through. I wish I could just spill out an easy fix but it looks like you're going to have to take life one day at a time. What I suggest is that you go to a bookstore or library and get the book 'You Can Heal Your Life' by Louise Hay. Read it cover to cover, and when you finish, read it again. Also find some time to go to www.hayhouseradio.com and listen to some of their radio programs. You may find a lot of them helpful. Another set of good books to read are anything written by Naomi Judd (of The Judds). With the help of Hayhouse Radio she managed to beat hepatitis and emerge stronger. She's written a few books about her struggle and ultimate victory.
You have a long way to go before life will feel good again. May God bless you from this moment on and show you the way. Please post again and let us know how you're doing.
All my love,
Aunt Kerry
