I need to do something, otherwise I'm having the equivalent of a destination wedding somewhere with easy access to prescription medication. It's a scary proposition but this is not an economic system I fit into, and I can't think of anything else to do.
I fully get you the world is nuts right now. I just don't want you making a permanent decision to solve a problem that may only turn out to be temporary.
I've been shit on and underemployed my entire life due to the way I was born so I get the pain and desperation and I've been down very similar dark paths in the past. I mean I'm not trying to compare, right now your pain ins objectively the most immediate and imminent.
And I wish I had better solutions for you, the ones I found might not work for others and I wouldn't exactly call myself 'thriving' but I get by better than a lot of people in this wealth divided country.
Maybe I can offer better insight if you detail more of what's going on. I'm not a crisis counselor but I've lived through enough crises that I know to use the word 'crises', so that has to count for something. You really sound in a stuck place, tell me about your rocks if you feel up to it. You can even PM me if you prefer.
Honestly, it helps hearing I'm not alone in what I'm experiencing. I wouldn't know where to start with the rest.
A good free resource is NAMI, google them for your area, you can talk to someone free who has training on these kinds of things. They might not be able to directly help you, but they will point you in the direction of those who can.
Don't give up, skeleton!
