well ok heres the thing...most of you have seen my posts and know that my dad is pretty much an alcoholic, mom has high blood pressure and a bad heart, dad is a smoker and im caring for my grandfather. im 17 years old and ive finally decided that i need to take care of me. i'm trying to decide where to go because ive decided im moving out. well mom caught me purging and she starts yelling"rissie if ur gna not eat then dont eat. but dont waste my food and money by stuffing urself like a pig then puking it up. ur wasting the food." she doesnt understand that when i binge i cant help it. im in so much pain after that i need to purge bcuz i cant breath. my stomach swells and everything. i kno thats gross but thats what happens. im seriously considering moving in with another family member. i need to take care of me. so ive been looking into social security bcuz mom says she cant pay for my T much longer and that i'd better "get better quick". so im kinda stuck. sorry if this is all choppy im jotting down my thoughts as they come. ANYWAY, point is i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips. should i continue working and pay for T and bills and stuff myself? or should i try to get disability/insurance? anything is helpful thanks! xoxoxoxoRISSIExoxoxoxox

does your dr consider you to be disabled? I would imagine due to your young age if you did happen to get anything from social security it would be ssi and honey it is nothing. it is so little money you would never be able to pay rent or anything. if you can work then go for it.

Don't know anything about what services would be available to you, but you can call the local Mental Health America (formerly Mental Health Assoc.) or NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness--nami.org, I believe) & they have experience in these kinds of things & maybe can guide you.
Do you think your therapist is helping? Any way your mom could get educated about what you are going through--NAMI has classes called "Family-to-Family" that would be helpful if she is willing to learn & HELP YOU rather than just dismiss you or put you down. You sound very mature &have a lot of insight for your age. I had my problems starting when I was 15 & in no way was I as on the ball as you are. Take care.--Suzy (old enough to be your mother & MORE). |

Rissie, I don't know much about disability or services available, but I wanted you to know I read your post and I feel for you. It sounds like you are in a really tough spot. Moving out when you are 17 is tough, but it sounds like you are determined to make things better for yourself. Do what you need to do to take care of you. Please, please be careful with the eating and binging.
