The Impact of Poverty on Mental Health

DitsyDiabetic

Agree or disagree? being EXTREMELY poor makes mental health issues EXPONENTIALLY worse. this is what I’m experiencing right now. I barely make enough for rent and bills, so i barely get to eat, and never get to do anything fun unless someone else pays for it, among other issues…..

      I’m struggling nowadays with money. I didn’t have money problems before if I’m being honest, so I have no clue of what to do and I feel really anxious about life costs

      I’ve talked to my employers. They said that they are “considering it”. I’m a full-time student as well so this is adding up. Hopefully things will get better soon

      I completely agree. I’ve been going through some medication switches, and my mental health has been absolute $#!+. I felt super depressed, Christmas Eve, and then even worse Christmas morning. I ended up going to bed at 7:30 on Christmas Eve. I don’t know what had come up but it was a mess. My mental health is also been very poor because of thoughts that go through my head. Some of the online groups that I am in told me to take a break from the Internet for a while until I can get my mental health together, and believe me, I’m trying, but it’s not always possible to do.

          @DitsyDiabetic ooof. That sounds rough. My medication’s just got switched like two weeks ago and my depression has been better, but it’s still not great.

      I agree. The system is set up for those in the low income bracket.

          @DitsyDiabetic I know exactly what you’re going through! I’m so sorry you are going through this😞 maybe doing Uber or door dash could help with supplemental income and allow you to work when you’re okay to.🤷🏽
