I suffered a traumatic event last May that became public knowledge to family (it involved an in-law) in December and the subsequent consequences after that. I was also laid off in October. My mental health has deteriorated since December. I can't sleep. I can't look for a job. I have nightmares where I wake up kicking, punching or screaming. I fly into a rage at nothing. I can't stop crying. My hygiene is almost non existent. I have closed down and isolated myself. I am facing homelessness this month.
I am scared of hospitals and don't understand when it is appropriate to expect one can help me cope. Do you have to be suicidal to admit yourself? I feel like I am at the end of my rope.
