I'm sorry for this rather grim topic, but I was so disturbed today... Some of you may go through something similar, so I wanted to tell you: you are not alone!

Here is my journaling:

My elderly friend is sick. It’s a debilitating mental illness that affects her mind and body equally, to the point that even doctors cannot tell where one ends and the other begins. She wastes away before my eyes, and because her funds are very limited, there is practically nothing I can do to help her long-term. She suffers, and I just watch her helplessly. This system is broken, and so is this society. If only the rich can get help, it's because they can afford to buy it. Without money, you're nothing and can die in a ditch for what they care. No one gives a damn. Only the few who do care writhe with anger, frustration, and pain, which change nothing.
