Better Community Development - Supportive Housing

Anonymous - Oct 20, 2020

Mentally disabled 38, soon to be 39 year old female seeking transitional housing. Currently staying with family. Have never been independent and I have not contributed much at all the past 7 years. I have extreme anxiety doing some chores and I don't know why. Severe difficulty keeping my mind on self care and lean more towards self deprication. BPD, PTSD, bipolar, Major depression severe and recurring, GAD, and panic disorder. I receive SSDI only. I am unable to keep up with daily chores. My clothes sour when I try to wash them because I forget about them. I spiral quickly and get too anxious to do anything. I have never cooked for myself on a regular basis. I don't like shopping. I get anxious and sweat a lot when I'm around a lot of strangers. I have two grown children. I am not accountable to anyone and I cannot take care of myself. When living alone I had difficulty with finances, eating regularly, taking meds regularly, staying in treatment with someone who is a psychiatrist and a therapist. I use my regular family physician to give me meds that I neex for everything, psych meds are always started or changed in a hospital. I got out of an inpatient psych unit yesterday. It was a voluntary admission. I do not want to be a burden to others. I want to contribute to society and become a healthier person but that starts with self care which I'm going to need help with if I live alone.
