I asked for help for myself cause I have a lot of medical conditions. I'm not a caregiver. Any suggestions?

I don't qualify for services cause I'm Medicaid. I have been under home health care since 2011. I recently moved and I'm having a hard time finding an agency cause they don't have any caregivers available for me at the moment. I recently had a bad fall and tore the ligaments in my cervical spine. My fiance is doing the best he can to help me but he's not doing well either. I've been thinking about suicide so I won't be a burden anymore. I'm scared and I stay in a lot of pain. I'm tired of this pain. I hope I can find someone soon. Thank you.

Cathee I'm so glad that you are still with us. I can't help you with your Medicaid questions cause I live in Canada but hopefully someone else can steer you in the right direction.

Please take care!

I'm under the care of a psychiatrist and mental health care and I take meds for that too.I have talked to my worker n I'm feeling better but I'm still overwhelmed with all these medical conditions n the severity of this pain.Im sorry for what I said about thinking about suicide but I was keeping it real with the way I was feeling.Thank you all for your help and I just wish I can find home health care that takes Medicaid.I do have Medicare but I don't make alot of money n Medicaid pays for my Medicare premiums.The last caregiver stoled my medicine.I put them in prison for 15yrs.I just have to pray n keep the faith.Once again thank you all for your feedback.Have a blessed Holiday.Thank you

Cathee, I hope you have already reached out to a suicide prevention hotline or even call 911 if you are really feeling scared. Please remember that how you are feeling now won't last. Please don't do anything rash.

You need to seek out your local social service office. If you're really in a bad state call 911. Do you have a social worker or case manager who is looking after you?
