Story
Hi, everyone!
I’d like to reveal something to you that is very difficult for me to talk about – my mental health.
This will explain my need for financial assistance at the present time. I am going through an exceedingly difficult time since last September when I experienced homelessness for seven months and I have not been able to truly recover since. Although I have an apartment now, I’m still having difficulties staying afloat financially. Most of everyone I know is aware that I am on the autism spectrum, but many are not aware of the degree to which I suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder, severe anxiety and panic attacks, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and oppositional defiant disorder and have lived with these challenging mental conditions for all my life going back as far as I can remember. It is an absolutely sad, depressing, and debilitating way to have to live.
I am making improvements every day in so many areas as I have lots of friends in the community and all my friends at church that love me because I’m able to keep my head together while I’m in public, but I am an absolute anxiety ridden mess when I am at home and no one on earth would want to live inside my head with the anxiety that it holds and the intrusive thoughts, the racing thoughts, the worry, the obsessions my mind never lets me rest EVER! I have been seeking a therapist for years that can help me, but no one ever has. I want to give up, but I can’t. My mom works so hard to keep me grounded. She helps me so much to stay focused, but she tries really hard not to enable me because I am very smart and very capable, but I’m very defiant and that makes it difficult and I can’t help being this way.
I have just registered for an intensive outpatient program at a local mental health treatment center about 2 weeks ago that lasts for 4 more weeks where I have been going 3 times a week for 3 hours a session and learn ways to cope with my anxiety, cope with certain situations, anger management, stress, depression, and several other issues that I deal with on a daily basis. I am extremely excited. I am looking forward to the day that I can be fully independent because I have the capacity to be that in so many ways I have just been dealing with more than I have been able to handle. I have high hopes and I appreciate all of you so much for supporting me financially and otherwise to help me get through this! This outpatient program I am currently attending has completely changed my life.
Love,
Hunter
