You didn't get a diagnosis or any help other than the family fed you and put a roof over your head.

Having good support is a very crucial part of treatment for any of this stuff. If you can't get that at home and in your culture i would rely heavily on this site and other support sites. Not looking for magic cures but for support from people who have the same problems. Support is a big part of treatment.
Yeah i know it will be hard doing it without meds therapy and all that , so im now saving up to buy a computer that way i can try the online therapy with a real therapist and make more use if this place and hopefully find a good person to help each other through these hard times.
