• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi guys, me again. I've been writing off and on about this issue for years, and it's just getting intolerable now. Long story short(er) I'm 28, disabled, living living with my mom who, among other disabilities, has been clinically depressed virtually her whole life. We have no money, no driver's license, friends, jobs, everything keeps breaking, and neither one of us have anything to do. I've been ok with this until recently, but the stress of this has finally caught up with me. I HATE THIS! I hate having no life, nothing to do, living from dollar to dollar, and having to watch my mom suffer. I've never been an angry person, but, whether I like it or not, I am one now. I swear constantly now, never have before. I hate living with my mom now, even though she's the one I love the most in the world. We have these cats that do nothing but eat, puke, and knock things over every day. My mom doesn't have the strength to solve these problems, but there aren't any solutions anyway. Because we can't pay our taxes, our home, which is all we have in the world, will eventaully be taken, and then...well, there is no then. The only half way decent option is to sell the house, but my mom just doesn't have the strength to do that, and I can't either. Oh yeah, and because it's so hot, I haven't been able to leave the house to get food. Hungry. We're not living, we're existing. Please pray.
Mike
