Keep reaching out no matter what. You are worth it
I made some not so great decisions too and I have trouble accepting them. I am also staying with family because I cannot live with my partner. I never feel like anyone truly understands me and my struggles and it is very lonely. Its hard but I know I could be worse off.
I've been without insurance in the past and it was awful. Now I have insurance but can't use it because of the deductible. So I am searching for therapists who do sliding scale. In the mean time, I use an online therapy service because it is much cheaper than in person therapy.
I hope you are able to feel better soon and find the help you need.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Are you using TalkSpace? I think that's what it was called. My son was going through something and him being young - text therapy was perfect but his issue was also situational unlike my chronic and enduring.
I'm trying to figure out WHERE to apply. I "live" in Florida but situation being what it is it's looking like I'm going to be in CT until December or January. If I apply here in CT that means changing my residency which is going to eff me up with school. If I apply in Florida I probably can't use it here.
The good news is I'm doing a little better the last couple of days. I was just listening to music and heard two songs that usually have me blubbering like an idiot and I THINK I felt a lump in my throat. Talk about progress!
I feel like a crazy person for the things that I cry over. Like seriously, on the bad days it never ends. Sad stuff, angry stuff, touching stuff. Most times I'm like a raw nerve and on those days I feel like I may never know what "normal" is again.
I WISH I could get disability but you have to be out of work for a year before they will even consider you then they'll give you a bunch of back money but what the hell do you do in the interim? It will be a year for me in December. I've burned through my IRA - going to get hit hard with a tax penalty next year.
