Unrestrained capitalism is about competition, not fairness. As our ruthless leader said to the entire globe at the U.N., to the victor belong the spoils. The rest of us can eat dirt for all they care.
YOU STAY ALIVE. You beat the system if only to spite them! Find yourself an advocate (call NAMI?) and figure out those finances so that Auntie and you both can live with decent health care.
And shame on this system, these bullies and profiteers. Shame, shame on them.

Why does it have to get to that point ..to actually receive help..The HELP is sometimes not covered by insurance..THE HELP is many times declined because of lack of funding..The HELP you PAY FOR STEALS OUT OF YOUR HOUSE..I AM the help for my Aunt(last and ONLY supportive person thru my drug abuse,rape,and HIV) no PAYEMENT for ME thru programs cause her income is over the limit..SHE IS FREAKING 95..Im 70..I can't even afford a STUIDO..much less buying her house!!..So I guess If I say I wanna Kill myself I can get services?..WHY do I have to go BACKWARDS?..I did this to GET OFF OF ILLIGAL DRUGS..

That sounds genuinely exhausting β carrying depression while also managing financial stress and caregiving responsibilities is a heavy load. It makes complete sense that trust feels hard right now too.
Depression can make everything feel more overwhelming, and when real-life pressures pile on top of it, it's not weakness β it's just a lot.
A few things that might be worth knowing:
- Fatigue is one of depression's most draining symptoms, and it's very real
- Caregiving while managing your own mental health is incredibly demanding
- Financial stress and depression often feed each other, making both feel worse
If depression is limiting your ability to work, it may be worth exploring whether you qualify for additional disability support. A doctor or social worker can help figure out what options might be available without it feeling overwhelming.
Most importantly β what you're feeling is valid. You're doing a lot, and that deserves to be acknowledged. π
If you ever feel like things are too much, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available by call or text anytime.
