Something’s not right

I’m really struggling

I’m really struggling

I’m in a really bad situation. I have lost my job, and as of today my car is no longer working. By this weekend I have to move back into my parents house. We have an extremely strained and frail relationship, each with addictions and mental health issues they refuse to get help for. I have been getting help, I’ve recently been diagnosed with BPD & CPTSD. I have just started medication, but have no money to be able to get my repeat. Having to move back into my parents I fear will be my last strike. I don’t think I’m going to be able to handle living with them. I do not know what to do, my only other option is sleeping in a park. I have no friends, no family, no car.

Hi @Dweedle and welcome to the forums

This is such a tough situation to be in, it sounds like you've been dealt multiple blows at once.

I second @Dimity's suggestion, Ask Izzy can link you in with all sorts of supports in your area from financial aid to housing support.

You might also want to check out the Good Shepard for more financial support options

I know this situation is rough, but we're here for you

Re: I’m really struggling

Sorry for my brief reply @Dweedle . I was in transit.

It sounds a very difficult and upsetting situation for you. You'll definitely need good supports for your own MH, and unfortunately there might not be much you can do about your parents' attitudes and behaviours other than setting clear boundaries.

Your financial situation sounds fraught and you might need help towards your medications and car repairs. Rough sleeping would terrify me personally.

All the very best .
