What about help with medications? That is my biggest concern. All this while for the past several months I have been unable to have medication because I'm dependent on my mother and she would not pay for it. I can hardly function at all without medication. My mother is also the sort who would suddenly stop paying for my meds if she were in a snit about something, meaning that I would suddenly be going with withdrawal on top of symptoms returning.

What is best for a person to do if they live with a parent but can't afford medication? Would it be better for me to be homeless?
