EDIT: I LIVE IN AUS
- I am in a heavily abusive environment.
- I have bipolar I rapid cycling, (C)PTSD, / BPD, Anxiety, etc this abuse makes these worse.
- I can not work. Every time i have tried to work, it has ended up with me in hospital.
- I do not qualify for disability. (yes, it's stupid, I know)
- I am already on the waiting list for public housing.
-
I have two therapy cats that keep me alive. they notice when I am depressed and spend a lot of time with me, and honestly keep me out of hospital
-
i get 520 dollars a fortnight
-
I can only access 24ish therapy appointments for free in a calendar year. otherwise it's 80 dollars per session
-
cat food is about 60 dollars a month.
-
phone is 30 dollars a month but could drop that to about 20.
-
i currently pay 140 a fortnight for rent, which includes food but nothing else.
-
if I am not hypomanic/manic I try to save 100 dollars a fortnight.
I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I feel like my only options are:
-
stay in the abusiveness house hold, but having more access to therapy, and being able to afford my cats.
-
move into student accom, give up my cats, give up the idea of any extra therapy, and start working.
But honestly I don't see how I can continue where I am, or move out. i feel like im stuck between a rock and a hard place.
