Blurbal Perspective

Good day, readers! I have decided to start a series about receiving help for severe depression and alcohol dependency. As most of you know, I have been suffering from a painful spinal condition for nearly 3 years now. Since the pain started in 2013, I have noticed my mental state decline. This year, however, things have taken a turn for the worse. With my spine continuing to deteriorate, I have become more depressed.

During my one year check up, the CT Scan and X-Ray showed that the surgery failed. While I was still dealing with moderate to severe pain, I still wanted to live my life like a normal human being, so I decided to go back to work. My pain levels increased substantially. My neurosurgeon told me that I needed to lower my part-time hours at my job. I told my boss and they fired me immediately. I figured that maybe it was the job that was causing the increase i...
