Hey there Jeff! I understand your frustration. Sometimes it seems that life isn't fair. It seems that at times "we" (as in the person asking the questions) get all the tough breaks and it doesn't make sense. I wish I had answers for you. But, I too have asked the same questions without finding the answers.
But, you do have a family that is willing and able to assist you, and that is great. And the reason help is there is for people who need it. Don't hesitate to get the help that you need until you are back on your feet again. State programs are available to assist people who are having rough times. And since you were self-sufficent, there's no reason why in the future you won't be able to be again. You're going through some things right now. And that's really rough to deal with. Take advantage of the help that's provided.
Are you currently in therapy? Have you tried it in the past? I'm currently working with CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy) oriented therapist and you focus on patterns of negative thoughts about the world, yourself, your future, ect.
The ultimate goal is to challenge these thoughts. It has had amazing results for me, and my therapist has told me I am one of the most resistant clients he has seen. And it isn't something I've had to actively work on either. Maybe that is something for you to consider as well?
