How does one learn to function with multiple mental health problems?

You are not alone. Many suffer as you do (me included). I have no one but my teen son who has some special needs and my dogs/cats.
Have you ever thought to get a pet for daily companionship? I don’t know what I would do without my pets. I love them so much and they love me❣️🐾
It is good to avoid too much social media and news because it can make everything worse. Do you listen to any music, or read? Do you take relaxing baths with candles? Any small thing you can do each day for self care is good. I take one day at a time and do the best I can.
My hope is you have a counselor and psychiatrist you can do telehealth sessions with. Medication has helped me at least keep my head above water. I also have spine issues and chronic pain that makes every day challenging (I am disabled).
I hold on to my faith that gives me daily hope.

Ive had pests in the past but when they died it broke my heart and i cant go through that again. I am not on social media much nor do I watch the news. It all makes my mental health status worse!!!! I don't bath at all when i do it’s a shower. I listen to music but very seldom. Im usually sleeping and wake to go to bathroom and get a snack but within an hour or two back in bed. Im always tired! Feeling heavy.
Had a therapist and psychiatrist but i have a bill at the clinic so i can not see them until i can make a payment which I cannot now because I’ve had to stop work and Medicare has been taking huge deductions from my monthly benefits. I couldn’t afford to purchase any of my meds today for lack of funds! I’m so tired of fighting. I just want to give up! This is why I sleep to avoid these types of things!
