    Going to lose everything, am panicked and want to end it but don't want to abandon best friend or family

    Sorry if wrong category. The house I'm living in will need to be sold. I've been cleaning out my dad's hoard for over 20 years. It's still not clean. I'm going to lose all my animals, the only reason I'm alive. Grandpa owns the house. Will probably need to sell it to go live in a nursing...

    Section 8 probably fallen through

    I have gone through multiple plans in the last decade+ to try to get housing away from my mom's house. In the process, my mom died, my service dog died and I can't get another, every plan has failed in ways that are outside my control despite working so hard to make them work, and I've lost hope...

    just posting I guess

    Im not even sure what to put here or why I'm making a post. I usually delete these. I guess I have to cope for while I'm trapped here. But I don't want to live. I never have. I've been in therapy for ⅔rds of my life, since I was a child. I'm tired. I'm tired of being angry and sobbing all the...

    [United States] Neighborhood harassment

    Just making sure I'm doing this right. My next door neighbor came into my yard today and screamed slurs, other things, seemingly mad about either my grass or trash in the yard. (I tried to get clarification and couldn't get any. I had had packages delivered that day and was in the middle of...

    [United States] Do you have experience/knowledge of section 8 housing?

    Very sure this is the wrong section, but it fits here in my head better than elsewhere, so move it when you see it I suppose. Anyway -- has anyone here (who can respond) gotten section 8 housing before? How did it go? Was the process okay? Did you chose to stay in an apartment or a small home...

    My Abusive Father Suddenly/Unexpectedly Now Owns Where I Live

    Hey, ya'll! Something odd happened today. I got a call from my father*. I have not talked to my father in several years. The last time he called, I let it go to voicemail. It turned out later that he was calling to say that his mother, my grandmother, was very, very sick and was not going...

    A wtf situation? Opinions? - Concerns About Age Gap & Other Issues In Poly Relationship

    Hey, y'all, I haven't made a title for this yet because I'm just now writing this, and this might be some cursed ass content, genuinely not sure yet, but this is bothering me enough that I'd like to start talking about it now and get opinions (gradually) because my frame of reference may be...

    Feeling trapped in a life filled with ongoing adversity

    Hello, y'all, I hope you're well :) I wouldn't necessarily recommend reading this post if you're not lol, up to you obviously. Anyway -- I was going to say something about this in my trauma diary or just keep it to myself. But decided I want extra feedback. This is a cognitive distortion of...

    Lost Cooking Skills: Need Help Relearning Basics

    I have brain damage and forget things easily once there's a break in my routine. Once I have that break, it is very stressful to reintroduce activities (due to autism, ADHD, executive dysfunction, multiple processing disorders, problems with memory, etc.). I had a severe break a couple of years...

    Not looking forward to court, honestly not sure why I'm posting this either?

    I'm not looking forward to court on Monday. I've been feeling hopeless and am dealing with people not hearing me or listening to me lately. People talk over me -- not in the "talking loudly when I talk" way, but in the "you're obviously too slow/stupid to understand me so I'm going to look over...

    When is it time to check into a hospital?

    When is it time to check in to a hospital? Hospital trauma is severe for me. Was nearly killed by a nurse who left me isolated for probably two days as a teen. Been continuing to have problems. I'm working in veterinary medicine field and am afraid to stay away long. Boss needs me, even if...

    Hi, y’all ❤️ I’m struggling. My anxiety keeps bubbling up and I keep becoming suicidal and generally unwell. I’m struggling to get dressed, stay conscious, eat, go outside, or see things optimistically. My service dog is becoming too old to help. I didn’t foresee becoming increasingly...

    Neurology treatment without insurance

    Hi, everyone :) I know this is a little off topic, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. And, for the record, despite everything I've put up on this website so far, this one feels incredibly embarrassing for some reason. I have been having seizures that I was mistaking as periods of...

    How does one move away from someone they take care of?

    When my mom was my age, she took care of her mom from the house we're both living in now. Now I'm stuck at home taking care of her. She seems to love it and keeps proudly making references to me being the head of household. So does my sister. It's making me crazy. I keep trying to give her...

    (Service dog) Lost hope, looking to be pointed toward any possible solution for how to get another dog in line

    My service dog is not only turning 12 years old at the end of this month, but her medical problems are also beginning to prevent her from helping me. I had a detailed and organized plan to get another one. I emailed over forty agencies across the country, even found some private people who were...

    How to resolve issue of communication with a therapist

    I really like my therapist. She’s perfect for me right now because her area of expertise is in gender and sexuality, two things that have been much more on my mind recently than previously. However, she always tackles each problem exactly the same way. If I bring up an issue, she’ll begin by...

    How much responsibility am I supposed to be taking?

    I need some help. I think I took helpful advice from these forums and corrupted them with an abuser's voice that's still in my head. I was texting a friend and he told me that he's noticed that I take responsibility for everything to an extreme degree, and it's affecting my relationships. I...

    My mother is now my dependent. (Financial) (maybe emotional later, but currently I don't mind)

    I think I'm going to hire a tax professional to handle my taxes this year. Though I am not making enough money for the bills I am suddenly responsible for. But I just wanted to know what y'all's thoughts on that are? Does anyone here happen to have useful info or advice that could help me out...

    Can I have insight? (Seeing signs of my ex-girlfriend in others' photos or features.)

    I didn't put this thread into "Relationships" subforum because I feel this is a hypervigilance issue. Feel free to interpret it however you want, though :) I'm having a weird problem that I've never heard about before. For context, I have facial blindness. Not the worst case ever, but I can't...

    Mother can’t talk or move suddenly after a major heart attack. Can you help me worry less? Or something?

    Sorry, I’m not really sure where to put this post. My mom’s been in the hospital for a week now. I found her in shock in the bathroom. She’d been having the heart attack for two weeks. Part of her heart is dead. But as of two days ago she suddenly is acting like an 85-year-old person with...
