"I just want to be able leave when I still have fragments of the memories of what it felt like to be a human."
This line hit me hard. I truly empathise with not feeling like a person anymore. I feel like a hollow husk, with my hope and humanity scooped out.
You did not deserve to be abandoned when you most needed help. This seems to be a common occurrence (and I too have had awful experiences with mental health "care") - being abandoned, neglected or mistreated by the very services that are supposed to support people - and it is absolutely criminal. The system is utterly unfit for purpose and needs to be scrapped and started over. People like you - and others in similar positions - should never be failed so abysmally. You are worth so much more than the cost of your insurance. You are worth so much more than your income. It makes me so angry.
I am sorry @yellothere. No-one should be made to feel this way. I wish I could give you a hug. You deserved better than that, and I hope you can find some semblance of peace, whether you choose to die or live.

It didn't go away until I talked to someone I know (not a close friend). I just needed someone to talk to.
I want crazy. My eye broke down.

Would you consider moving to another state? Low income health insurance can be better in the smaller states. There are better practitioners in the public systems since the MH systems are smaller, and often less people competing for the same services.
I'm asking because it sounds as if you would try living if you had other options. I would like to make sure you have considered some other things that, while difficult, may help your situation.
that is very kind of you. I think that I am from Southern California and competing with a place full of crime, drugs, and homelessness that people dismissed me much easier. They are more worried about all the meth heads getting traffic immigrant families navigating the system that social workers in their eyes didn't seem to be of importance to a middle
Class kid with a lot of issues trouble functioning asking for help.
they don't care about you until you are making others lives hard in society. Like being homeless or on drugs...
