I want to leave this house.

I can't stand living with my mother anymore. I now understand that she is my biggest trigger right now and I just want to get away. I just wish I have money to support myself and find a new place. This isn't the first time I have thoughts of leaving but I really am at my edge. It's hard finding a job when you're just a college dropout with no work experience and is battling depression and anxiety all at the same time.

Hi Froz. You are kind of caught in the middle right now in needing to leave your

living situation with your mom because of her being a trigger and yet not having the resources to be able to afford that right now.

Having read ahead of another post you wrote was the fact that you got off your

medication recently. I would talk with your doctor about going back on it or

starting you on something else to help with your emotions. It is not impossible

for you to go forward on your own but it's going to take some medication and

therapy to get to that point. One step at a time. It will happen if you really want

it. :) xx

thanks. I was planning on telling my doctor the same thing too. I just wish medication was cheaper. It's harder when you can't afford it at all.

I hear you in that medication can be very expensive. Talk with your

doctor about the cost. Generics are out there that are a less expensive

as well as there are some drugs companies who may work with you

in getting your medication free (according to your financial situation) x

Also your doctor may be able to help you out by giving you free samples

that he gets from the Pharmaceutical Reps. x

Parents have a difficult time it seems in understanding mental health issues.. To some of them they think it's all in our head. Go figure..

I truly hope you find a result very soon. Dont give up on her or your future plans. There is a job that is just for you.. Stay strong stay focused and it will work out..

I don't know where you are from but is there a vocational rehabilitation service near you? They help people with any disability and do things like help find training for a job, writing a resume, interviewing tips. If there is one near you, definitely worth it to go.

I don't think so plus I have a deep seeded problem with the town I live in and that just makes me hate going outside all in all. The only way I feel good about going out is by travelling to like the city which is like 3 hours of travel.

I totally understand Froz I wish I could leave my stepsister
