I'm aware that all of them are trying to help. I'm just reactive because my situation has a lot of nuance that happens to come off as pity seeking a lot of the times when really it's to provide enough details for good advice. I have a lot of drive and ambition, but I frequently take on way more...

I wasn't saying that I wasn't. I definitely am not, in fact. Not from a lack of will, but from confusion/anxiety about picking the right path and right responsibility to tackle. I'm definitely at a point (and it's only getting worse by not taking action) where I'm probably going to have to...

A footnote: Talk like that that is condescending without any added direction with it (ie, telling me that I'm a disingenuous or doing something wrong without adding the correct answer that's specific - not a general "put forth effort") is why I sometimes shy away from "help." It's a lot more...

Just keep the other negative replies to yourselves. After being a long time lurker, I thought that maybe I might be able to get some positive advice; this place has made me feel far worse than interacting with the larger community. At least they have the ignorance excuse when speaking to people...

I see doctors more often when I am in a good spot... I usually don't go during crisis. I don't want to go on disability... I want advice on where to take my life. I struggle more with not knowing or not understanding the logistical issues with getting help. Yet another person that just assumes...

As for the car, I barely drove prior to having to move because I always rented close to public transport. Only now has the problem of relying so heavily on a car become an issue. There were many times at prior apartments where I didn't drive for many months at a time. Now I'm dealing with a...

To respond about the question about the court stuff. I've already had it continued twice because there was literally so much evidence to go through, and I just haven't been able to handle the stress of it with school... which led me to do poorly in school and try to find other means of income...

Thank you, freedomfighter... was actually kind of regretting having made an account. I think the whole crisis vs breakdown argument kind of exemplifies what I'm getting at by not having people believe me. I've been institutionalized with a 4.0 and even completed genetics homework while in the...

Finding a new apartment is not tenable right now because I can't find a job that will work with my school schedule that will meet the requirements to rent an apartment. We have one of the largest rent hikes in the country every year compared to other areas. I was lucky enough to have a friend...

I stopped going to Disability services after they proved to usually just complicate matters and waste more time (long story). When I say complete breakdown... I mean not leaving the house or speaking to anyone for weeks and overhearing my last neighbor on the phone with her mom that she was...

To the first responder: I had a part time job at school, but quit midsemester so that I could deal with health issues while still passing classes. That decision came before the roommate mess. I was kicked out of high school when I was 18; I would only show up to pass tests. I was 10th in my...

First time posting, but really need advice. First, I've never been able to officially obtain a diagnosis largely because I through periods where I am functioning with very little symptoms and don't want to waste the money on medical treatment. When I have been hospitalized for traumatic stress...
