Cant focus

Health and Recovery

the constant observer for today is somehow okay with the heart monitors constant beeping and i cant focus on the work i need to do because of it. i feel like im gonna snap and be rude but i cant think of how to ask her to turn it off, im scared itll come off rude.

ive been here for 13 days because no in-patient behavioural unit wants a patient in a wheelchair from what i gather, if they are able to accomodate for it. at least theyre giving me abilify and the voices went away, but im still having ‘delusions’ and visual hallucinations. i dont want to increase the dose, but im sure i have to

i want to go home and be with my bird. funny to say home when its not a home to me. im gonna lose my bird and ill be homeless because my roommates parents dont want to deal with my mental issues anymore. i feel worthless

does anyone have tips or resources to help?

either way, please have a lovely day!

Group home? Assisted living? Are those options for you? They usually charge based on income

I’m in the USA, and the systems set up to help the mentally ill are difficult to navigate.

If your income is low, perhaps you could get food stamps?

In the US you can apply for something called General Relief while you’re busy applying for disability. It’s only 250-300 a month, and they deduct whatever they’ve paid you from your disability backpay when you get approved, but it’s something. My therapist helped bring it to my attention and both her and my mom helped me apply back when I was 25, which was a good 12 years ago.
