Depression the Soul Crusher [1]

I try really hard to be upbeat when I post. Sometimes life gets in the way and pulls you down. Right now I am at rock bottom.
Losing Pixie, my companion of 20 years, has been really hard. I still have her kitty food dishes. I can't bear to put them away. I have her ashes. I would rather have her.
I am really struggling financially. I only have $60.00 for groceries for the month. I am fighting a losing battle with the government to get SNAP reinstated. Anyone who has followed the news knows that we now have a government for the rich.
I try to do things that bring me up. I am working on a new cookbook. I have over 2,000 followers on my Food Holidays That May Get Overlooked page on Facebook. I am hard at work on my Steampunk novel. I have an offer of a professional editor to look at it when I am finished with it.
Still I am fighting depression. I wonder if I am making a difference. I am a natural caregiver and always looking for ways to help others. Does my being here make a difference? Perhaps you can answer that for me.
I am getting some sales from my Fine Arts America account. As an artist that makes me very happy.
I could use some help financially. I have PayPal at michelewilson327 at gmail dot com. Thanks.
In return for your help I have some great new recipes for you.
