I need help

My page view counter says that people actually come to this blog (but no one ever subscribes or comments?) so I'm just going to post this here.

I am in desperate need of help funding a life saving treatment for my depression. I have been going to treatments for 3 weeks and they seem to be working, but they cost $400 out of pocket for each one and I go 5 days a week. My mom is paying for them with the money she has put aside for her old age.  Even if you can’t afford to donate, sharing this would be awesome. Please help me get the word out. I need this treatment. I have been suicidally depressed for years and TMS is saving my life.

Any donation will help or, if you can't afford it just sharing it to friends or on a social network would be awesome.

Thank You.

I missed a week again. Sorry!

Title: Tonight The Moon
Word Count: 47
Story Notes: A few years ago, weeks before I had a nervous breakdown, I had done an internship at a nursing home in the Bronx. At the end of the week, someone was coming to pick me up. I sat in the waiting room bored out of my mind and maybe a little melancholy that what had turned out to be a great week had ended. I wrote this poem there. 

Tonight the moon was beautiful
Now it’s hidden behind clouds
At one time there were stars here
But they've all twinkled out
At sunset the air was warm
Now icy wind has blown
And all my friends have gone to sleep
And left me all alone

Oh man! It's been a month. Oops.

Title: Empty
Word Count: 74
Story notes:  Another poem about symptoms of my depression. I quite like this one.

I’m cold and empty
Nothing more than
A lonely shadow
It’s the greatest pain
One so familiar
The feeling of feeling
Nothing at all
It settles deep
Within my being
It weighs heavy
Against my soul
Nothing there
But everything, all the same
Bottled up
Struggling to break free
Sometimes I scream
Into my pillow
I don’t want anyone
To hear my pain
The pain of nothing
Of being cold

And very, very empty
