After parting way with someone you thought you would surely marry, due to their lies. Been on a tight budget since college, graduated, but can't find a job. Wrecked your car in an accident.

Stress caused stomach pain, weaken overall and personality changed.

After awhile, found out the accident cause damage in my brain, leading to a type of epilepsy call complex partial seizure - all 5 senses - touch, smell, sight, hearing, speech are all affected when the seizure occur. Most damaging is its effect on consciousness - causing me to be unaware of anything while it occur. Leading to my driver license to be taken away - job searching became much more complex.

Dealing with things ...
Going anywhere is a pain, depending on other people
Money is no problem since there are none to begin with
Stress only seem to increase with time
Medication require money
She got engaged/delete number but can't forget
Credit card collection calls
School loans..

all at once!
passage to adulthood? haha

my apology for missing "you" in the question.

What I've done so far.
I moved, was in PA now Houston, TX.
all past pictures/number/gifts trashed.
Pretty all time spent on understanding the medical condition and finding a job now.
I am grateful for being alive, self awareness is enough reason for that. Just wish people around me would be a little more understanding. Probably that's why I posted in the first place :)

Wow! You sure have my sympathy.

There is probably a support group you can join - check it out. Having others to talk it out with helps. Psychological counseling is a good idea, too. Don't give up, and don't lose your self-esteem.

If you are in some remote location where things like counseling, public transportation and support groups are not available - move!

If you are unable to work, school loans can be postponed - call your creditors and explain. If you become completely disabled, a final fall-back is SSI; your school loans will be completely forgiven, as well. But this should only be a final fall-back. Having completed college, you are smarter and better-educated than the average bear. You can figure this situation out, and make good things happen through your own efforts.

You don't say how old you are. But there are programs that help brain damaged persons. Credit card company, don't worry, they can do nothing, you have nothing. Were you the cause of the accident or not? Either way you get a lawyer, and try to get some money from the insurance company.
If she deleted her number, she wants nothing to do with you. Work at forgetting her. You should be able to find housing with other brain damaged people, don't worry about passage to adulthood, that take place whether we're ready or not.

Even though I don't see your question - I ll put my 2 cents.

Trying to multi-task is the hardest thing, and from what I see your problems are all inter-related and require more focussing. First of all, appreciate that you are still breathing and all your limbs are OK and that it could have been worse.

Apply to staffing agencies and online job posts and keep your spirit up. Keep taking your medication. Credit cards collection: they will get tired eventually and in your case there is no other option but to ignore. Focus on your health and your job search, and if you think positive, great things will happen.

Go to church and pray for help, people usually have to hit rock bottom in their lives to realize that they need God. Prayers are answered when you put your fate and life in Gods hands. It sounds like you have nothing to lose, so why not give faith a try. Good luck to you.

This isn't detailed, but it's a biggie.
Pray.
