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

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!

Are you on social security disability? Have you tried to qualify for Medicaid and supplemental income? You should be able to get help with medications and medical bills but it requires some work in your part. I know it is hard to do when you are struggling with a lot.
You really need help to process everything from teen years through loss of mom and pets through present. Medication and therapy is critical for you to get you on the road to brighter days. It is hard work but worth it. I have been dealing with many health issues, chronic pain and major depression for 2 years (couldn’t get out of bed but I am a single parent of a teen and I have no family/friend support) and just starting to see a glimmer of hope. My one medication was increased recently (bupropion) and it is starting to seem to make a difference. I have tried so many different medications and it has been trial and error and you need to be patient.
