first time posting . I know all the answers I know what to do I know what to do to make myself happy ... I am 25 years old and spent a life of psyical abuse and mental abuse and sexual abuse . both at school and at home . both my brothers and my dad and mom have mental problems at first I felt like the only adult in the family . I had to cope when I had no choice idk how I made it but I did . 2 sucidal attempts along the way . I've gown use to my mental illnesses . I always realize my actions after I done them but didn't realize what I was doing while I was doing it . when I'm manic I have no money. when I have psychosis I feel like God hates me and I have ideas that makes no sense to other people but me . when I have skypizaphina I deal with paranoia and seeing things and anxiety and deal with the thoughts that make no sense enough to drive anyone crazy . when I experience bpd I sleep with every tom dick and hairy and deal with feeling abandonedment by my mom and have sucidal ideation . I want help . I want love . I want happiness . I depend on anti depressants and psychotics drugs to do all that . last night I called 911 . I been feeling sucidal since Monday . now is Saturday . I made a plan . I recorded a video . I've cried and listened to depressing music to soothe my black soul . reasons ? I have no life . my car got repo I lost my job now am on SSI though 841 dollars a month . my mom won't let me move out with a man or get married she controls my money and she holds that over my head she says if if I have a child she will drown it and that I will let it die . my psyical heath is not so great I have PCOS chronic UTIs Spina bifida heart problems over weight a blocked tube in my brain and I might be in a wheelchair when I'm older . etc here's my question . what are your all coping strategies ? I have a serious addiction to nicotine . have since I was 16 . if you all want tell me your story's . let me know I'm not alone . who fights psychosis who fights bbd who fights skipizaphina and bipolar disorder . anxiety OCD PTSD etc. . what would you do if you was me ? peace .. and much love . bunni

      That’s a lot to deal with and I’m so sorry you’re struggling. Personally what helps me when I feel hopeless and victim to circumstances is figure out what I can control, what I can change and then prioritize what is going to get me motivated to do so and have the biggest impact and work from there. Otherwise I deal with suicidal ideation and want to run away but I feel trapped because of physical and financial limitations so that doesn’t help and just makes me more stressed. So I work on taking back my control otherwise I end up in treatment- which has been really helpful in the past but not a cycle I want to continue. Find what you can do and work on and get to a better place… no one is coming to save you, it’s gotta be you. It’s rough whether you stay in the same place or decide to take action and make changes. If it’s hard either way I choose to make changes because in my head I have to to stay alive so I don’t get so depressed and feel hopeless. Sounds like you’ve been thru a lot and you’re a survivor so use that shit to build a better life on your own terms. If you made it thru your past you can make it to the future, but that means something has to change in the present. God loves you, He’s got your back- let Him in to help you with your mess. Even if you aren’t capable, He is and relying on Him will make you so💕🙏🏻 sending love, support, and courage. You got this. If it were me in your situation, I’d consider checking myself into a mental health treatment facility to get a reset, help you manage, develop coping skills, create a plan, and figure out how to work the plan so it’s successful.
