Considering your circumstances, and the fact that you've had to deal with your problems without help from your parents, I wouldn't say you're too fragile for this. I'd say you're stronger than you know.
To the rest of you: Sometimes a T
just isn't an option. If I had severe problems I'd be on my own too, because the nearest T to where I live is almost a hundred miles away. That's not the case here, but I can still tell you that it's frustrating to look for help here, and always be told to find a T.
Ok, I'm done now.
