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

1 ReactionI have had similar feelings. I follow Jesus because he saved me from darkness into light. While I still struggle with these feelings, I know by faith that he loves me more than I can completely know. He promises me eternal life with him in heaven. My moods are up and down, but he remains the same and lives me and gives me value and hope. I offer you his gospel message of hope, peace, salvation and the certain knowlege that he is with you always snd will never leave you nor forsake you. Pray and invite him into your life and he will save you.
Im happy to listen more, for I know what it is to feel despair, loneliness and abandonment. God be with you and love you.

You sound like a mirror image of me and personal thoughts! Lord how great it feels to not be alone finally!
Nobody in my inter circle understands! One or two my even try! The others I truly feel aren’t bothered! For instance I desperately need a new cellphone. Current one is an iPhone 11 and totally out of storage. I cannot get another for various reasons I miss text msgs and phone calls even vmails bc it is full. It’s like the phone self erases to survive! No one trying to help. I have negative balance in my bank account and no funds. Couldn’t affords any meds this month! I’m just down!
No one really checks on me until they need me for something. I know everyone is going through something but I live alone. Have no husband/boyfriend. No children bc I did what I was taught from home and stood by society’s rules but now I’m penalized for it all. No dependents so I pay heavy taxes. Over qualified for certain jobs. I don’t live above my means. My car is a 2018. In a 1 bedroom apt. No over the top lifestyle. I live on bare-minimum in all areas! Internet and Netflix are my ONLY luxury in life. I sleep so much even they aren’t worth the money!

@lostnconfused yes can see the message. Sending you love and willing ears
Yes can see your message it's a shame the era we live in right now, only comfort i can count on is God. That and my angel that watches over me. It's what most days keeps me sane. I can talk to him daily, multiple times and occasionally I get a nudge that I am still on track, mostly dreams is where I get my answers, like this morning, got up, took my meds, didn't want to do anything but go back to sleep, but I mudding got me to remember that I am down one pants size, means my exercises are paying off, that one thing made my day better. Sometimes it's the littlest thing, but it worked, tomorrow I will wake up with God willing and try to better today, don't know if this helped but I was about to give up and was shown that I am gaining, I hope you do too 😊
