Right now I feel terrified.
I'm living off my Social Security checks. I have a number of debts I can't afford to pay, and keep getting hit with more judgements demanding money I don't have and am not earning. I tried to contact a lawyer through something called Justice North and was told pursuing bankruptcy for me would be pointless, since Social Security -- and SSDI, which I aged out of -- aren't subject to garnishment. That was the last and only thing the Justice North lawyer offered.
I have five medical conditions that leave me mostly unemployable, including cancer. And I have no idea who to ask for help. One of my medical conditions is PTSD, which leaves me terrified about just about everything anyway. Osteoarthritis, glaucoma, Autism, PTSD, and Multiple Myeloma. Honestly, if I ran a business and had a choice, I wouldn't hire me if I could hire a younger healthy person. I want to be able to pay off my debts, but I can't see how I can. I don't own anything to secure a loan -- don't own a home or a car. And the Myeloma, ironically, means I couldn't even sell a kidney if that was legal.
I have a little writing ability, and I used to be a podcaster. So I guess I have some talents. But my talents, my skills, my jobs, are now done by AI.
I don't even know who to ask for help. American Cancer Society? Maybe, I dunno.
