Even on that shitty roller coaster of low, lower, lowest... and OH SHIT - even at the very bottom, if you hang on to your hope, nothing is impossible for you. Believe that. Believing it was the only thing that got me through some of my worst experiences. I think it's possible that some of these things happen for a reason. That maybe some of our hard experiences in life help us to grow and to learn. I don't mean religion, but more like a... sort of karma.
Having had this experience, when you get back to solid ground... you will be much more understanding of what the system is like, it's ups and downs, it's corruptions, red tape, stupidity and nonsense. You can also be a great advocate for those who need help like you do now.
Keep that gofundme page up. (Hey, people, let's keep bumping this thread)
Also. One thing you said really annoyed me. Mostly because it was complete and utter bull shit. I mean this line here
"I’m not much of a writer. "*
It isn't perfect punctuation, nor grammar, spelling, sentence or paragraph structure... it is not these things that make a great writer. It is passion - and you have plenty, even in your suffering. Any writer worth their salt would tell you the same thing. I don't mean that those things aren't important - but they are, by far, secondary to the passion and the personality of the writer. You paint a picture with your story here - using words, you show us the depth of your struggle and you do so in a way that is profoundly moving.
You need to share this post, this story right here, not just with us on DU, but with the world. Let people know the truth.
If this whole programming thing doesn't work out... consider writing freelance. You have talent, personality... and that most important thing of all for great writers... passion.
