I have survived 3 strokes and life sucks

I was so independent before. Now I have to beg and ask my brother and aunts for help. I can’t pay my bills because I can’t work. My credit was already poor and now it’s piss poor. I’m just curious when might it get better? As in when will I be able to depend on myself again? I’m fortunate enough to not have any paralysis. I have vision loss in my left eye. I do struggle to walk a bit and I do have balance issues. I haven’t felt this helpless since I was a child. Thanks for any kind words.

Released from the hospital yesterday after 3 strokes. I walk like a toddler now.

Not a toddler you have to keep your eye on because they can sprint and bust their face wide open, but the toddler that just figured out how to stand. Listen I’m grateful. But I’m also experiencing left eye vision loss which my neurologist said may not come back. Physical therapy signed off on me saying I was fine. I’m not fine in my eye. Has anyone experienced this? Does it get better as time goes by? I’m still grappling with the having 3 strokes part.

Stroke number one back in June

First stroke of was hemorrhagic. Since then I’ve had two more. I’m 41 years old. I’m still in the hospital. Missing my own cooking.

I’m not bragging by any means but I’m walking pretty good. I’m not weak on one side. My team says I’m one of the luckier ones. I get dizzy easy. I’ve also lost vision in one eye. My peripheral is totally gone and it’s hard to see out of both eyes even though only one eye is affected.

Not sure why I posted. I just am unsure what to do.
