Hey
I am an 18 year old woman who suffers from severe PTSD. (Hospitalized twice, A one year break from mental health professionals.)
I was abused from birth to the age of 14 by my mother. She then left my father far from feeling relieved It was strange not having someone abuse me and put me down all the time which seemed to start the depression. I have always been a little depressed since I can remember from thinking about suicide to harming my mother. It has affected me immensely doctors aren't helping at all they believe I am taking a break by staying in my room. I rarely leave my room except for when my boyfriend comes over to stay (He lives down south). I cannot stick to anything as anything that gives me a little stress breaks me down. I've had to quit jobs, college all because of this. I now sit in my room most days in bed on my computer sounds stupid I know but the real world scares me too much.
I have been abusing alcohol since I was 13 although this is has stopped. I don't have the motivation to do anything from getting up in the morning to cleaning my room. I live in supported accommodation but I do not feel they understand my problems at all. My support worker just nags me to clean my room, pay my rent she even text me saying i should be addressing my rent arrears when I only have £53 to pay with no income but doesn't try to actively get me out of the house or improve my life. A structured day scares me because of the abuse I have suffered I just don't want criticism or fun poked at me ever after I suffered many years.
I have tried antidepressants and even antipsychotic drugs but nothing seems to work. Before you say try counselling, CBT blah I've tried them all but I even don't have motivation to go to the appointments. I am thinking of even trying illegal stimulants because I just want to feel like a normal person and be able to clean the house and get ready like a normal teenage girl. I have no one to talk to at all my father hates the mental health system and thinks I will always be the same. I have been thinking committing suicide but I even do that wrong, I dont want to be carted off to the hospital either. What can i do to get me out of this hell called life. Im not a lazy person I just want a normal job and a normal life help me please.
