MY SITUATION:

because i haven't gotten better in the past three years, my parents think it's my fault. tonight, they cut any last hope there was of EVER trusting them again.

they ambushed me... told me i have five weeks to move into my grandma's house (she's in an assisted living home). i have that time to find a way to pay for it and all they'ed do is help with filing out the paperwork... i have to look up insurance numbers, loan info, utilities stuff and more...

i've been living with my parents for three years now. and in that time, i've never asked for anything except the ONE thing i KNEW i couldn't do, and that was support myself financially. if i could, i'd never moved back to this he--hole in the first place.

i met with my doc four weeks ago, and she could see that i was getting worse. that i was slowly losing my ability to keep trying, to keep fighting. then this sh-- goes and happens. it's times like these that i KNOW i'd be better off not being here at all. the one and ONLY thing still keeping me alive is my 5-month old baby kittens and their mom outside.

i've got two fav songs right now. each has their own chorus go like so:

"Help me. I'm caught between demons and angels. I'm fighting but I keep on falling..."
"How long can I keep on holding on..."

CAN ANYONE HELP ME???

It sounds like a bit of a sticky wicket at the present time. I send you hugs!

If you don't panic, I believe that you can accomplish everything that is on your plate.
Fighting off the urge to become resentful and bitter toward your family will make this journey much easier - you can still choose to be angry after you get settled.

One thing that always helps me in a crisis where action on my part is necessary, is to create a list of things that need to be done. If I don't make a list, everything feels so unmanagable and then I end up not being able to take care of myself.

Enlist your friends, your support group in helping you make decisions. Two heads are frequently better than one.

When one door closes - another soon opens. Be open to thinking about different options and possible new opportunities.

Although you may think this situation is too much for you to possibly handle, you can and will with the help of friends and your support group. We are here for you.

Have you filed for social security disability? Contact Social Services and see if they will help you out financially for now. Contact the housing authority and see if they can help with rent. I would call the utility companies and see if they have a sliding scale on the cost. I think the phone company does that. Just get on the phone and start calling these places. I know that it can be very stressful, but if you are looking for a way to get help you will do it. Take a deep breathe. This just might me the little nudge you need to become a little more independent. Good luck!
