PTSD ANXIETY

More Info

I am writing to introduce myself and share a little bit about my background. My name is Sider Johnson, and I am of Turkish Bulgarian descent, raised in Denmark. Over the years, I have had the privilege of traveling to more than 79 countries, living in five of them, and becoming fluent in seven languages.

However, I find myself facing significant challenges in recent years. Five years ago, I moved to Hawaii due to my marriage to a military serviceman. Unfortunately, our marriage ended in divorce, and shortly after, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, resulting in the loss of my job. Dealing with the divorce and unemployment during a global lockdown became overwhelming. I longed to return to Denmark to be with my family, but due to worldwide airport closures, it was not possible.

In my distress, I turned to drugs, which led me to associate with shady individuals and people who were mentally unstable. This unfortunate association resulted in a traumatic robbery, for which I sought counseling. As a result, I was diagnosed with severe PTSD and anxiety. The impact of these conditions has affected my daily life, causing me to prefer driving or biking instead of walking. I am constantly on edge, easily startled by even the slightest noise. To provide emotional support, I have two dogs who are verified as my emotional support animals.

Regrettably, I did not break free from the cycle of substance abuse and negative influences. Tragically, I received a phone call from the police informing me that a friend I introduced to my best friend had taken my best friend's life six months later. This revelation devastated me, and I continue to carry the pain and sorrow to this day. Despite these experiences, I unfortunately persisted with drugs and surrounded myself with harmful individuals. The severity of my PTSD worsened, leading to unemployment and the exhaustion of unemployment and rental assistance benefits. Eventually, I lost everything and was evicted from my home. My boyfriend and I resorted to living in the car, which was a gift from my late best friend.

One day, our car was towed, leaving us homeless and without any means to reclaim it. We resorted to setting up a tent every night as our temporary shelter. During this challenging time, a former friend betrayed me, resulting in a severe beating by his acquaintances in Diamond Head. I was held hostage for three hours before being rushed to Straub in an ambulance. The incident caused internal head trauma and a broken nose. This was undoubtedly the lowest point in my life, as I had never experienced such violence before. Homeless and physically harmed, I hit rock bottom.

In search of a fresh start, my boyfriend, our two dogs, and I decided to leave town and relocate to Kapolei, where we found shelter with one of my old military friends who does not tolerate drug use. This period marked one of the most challenging times in my life. I spent four weeks sleeping continuously before finding the strength to get out of bed.

After three months, my body began to feel normal again, and I started sleeping better. We managed to secure a studio apartment for ourselves and our two dogs. I found employment at Goodwill Hawaii as an Administrative Assistant. However, recently, due to budget cuts, I lost my job.

Despite diligently applying for jobs every day, I have been unsuccessful in securing new employment. I can provide proof of my job search efforts. Additionally, I am facing financial difficulties, as my rent is due, and the property management company, IVYK Realty, has resorted to threatening tactics when tenants are unable to pay. These circumstances trigger my PTSD, making the situation even more challenging to navigate.

I am reaching out to you today in the hopes that you may be able to assist me in finding a job or providing support for my rent. Any help you can offer would be immensely appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to hear my story, and I sincerely hope that you can help me during this difficult time.

I can provide proof of everything i just shared with you. Just hit me up per e-mail at [email protected] or my cell number (808) 800-9007 . Please send me a text message if call don;t go thru.

Best regards, Sider Johnson
