I'm feeling very overwhelmed. I fking hate this country's healthcare system. I'm crying because I'm too incompetent to know how to get help. I spent 2013-2021(?) either drunk or high and psychotic I don't know anything that I did in terms of finances, occupations, log in information, etc.
Why the fk do I have to jump through all these hoops and navigate all this red tape just to stay out of the hospital/jail?

Contact your local mental health services or ask whoever is recommending this to find someone to help you navigate the paperwork.

Think of this as a gift to yourself to really get on your feet and working towards stability. You deserve happiness
