How does one survive and learn to function with multiple mental healt?
I’ve suffered from mental health problems since a teenager. Now 47 I have lost all passion, desire and hunger for anything but sleep! I only take in small snacks because I don’t want blood sugar to drop. Live alone, no husband, no children, no pets, no plants nor family or friends whom seem to care about me. My mother is passed on. She was so much to me and I never knew how much until the day I was made to decide to remove her from life support. I was so angry at her for leaving me alone in this harsh and cold world. Now I feel I’m lower than I’ve been. I don’t want to die but I don’t know how to live either. Day after day I’m hit with some problem or downfall yet have nobody to give me a hand. I’m sleeping to avoid and not feel the pain. I sleep probably 20th a day and am still tired when I wake.
Please help me someone… anyone!

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.
