I’m doing what I can to cope with my physical pain and mental health, but it may be a losing battle.

NSFWContent Warning: Suicidal Thoughts / Self Harm

I broke my ankle, leg, and 3 vertebrae on July 16th. Just a couple weeks before that I severely cut my thumb bad. It required multiple stitches and I don’t have much use of my left hand thumb much. My other injuries occurred from a fall from 3 stories. I’m the only caregiver for my wife who has early stage of dementia. I don’t know how much longer I can stand the pain compounded with caring for her. I’m autistic with lifelong chronic depression issues. I desperately wish someone to assist us as a live in assistant. If I continue like this much longer I don’t think I’ll be around in this world much longer.
