I want to help people like me. I want to help the young people that are feeling lost. Older people that have given up... Idk. I want to help but can't help myself...
Working on my associates for 8 years now... Ugh...
Close to being done but doing worse than ever.
It's been so hard for me. I'm weak. I can't handle " normal" life.

It does get better. Particularly if you work on coping skill designed for trauma victims.
Have you looked into peer support jobs? In some states they are paid positions, you have some training to do, but often there are resorces to help pay the costs. If your state is not one that pays for it the volunteer position can help you with on the job training that can be added too the degree you are working towards. Some of the best doctors and health care providers are those who have been there, like little turtle.
