Here is another update for you, and I'm afraid it's mostly not good.
The good news is that the medication is working and I'm feeling better, even if I have some worse days, and this helps moving forward.
The bad news is that the war in Ukraine and our government throwing people under the bus is destroying us financially.
Long story short: food prices kept shooting up the past months, and now everything is 50-80% more expensive than a few months ago, which already caused us to blow through our monthly budget in two weeks. We are already having a difficulty buying groceries.
And if that wasn't enough, the government threw small businesses and common people under the bus. They changed small business taxation in a way that will cause many to go bankrupt and this will further increase prices, and then they changed their utility price regulation in a way that will make our bills significantly increase from next month.
They determined an unreasonably low consumption as "the average" (unreasonable even for a single person household). Electricity above that will cost 100% more and gas above it 750% more. Yes, you read that right, seven hundred fifty percent more. I wish I was kidding.
At this point I keep trying to progress with my commissions, but right now I can't see how will I be able to pay my bills and buy food from next month. There is still some hope that the government will be pressured to raise the determined minimum, but even then, food prices alone are insane.
All I can do right now is hold onto hope.
