RE: Mental Health

Hi, TayTay!

This is a subject I've been grappling with for years. Pushing through it and "trying to get through my ADLs as painlessly as possible", but I think the system is broken.

Because of my SMI, I was convinced that I didn't know what was best for myself. I listened to my astranged birth mother and allowed her to talk me into moving from TX to GA when I realized I was completely disparaged and not getting any better handling the illness my way.

I agreed to let her help. She offered to pay for basic needs, shelter ( a room in her mansion) and she assured me that she would take care of all my household items that she paid to have moved from TX to GA.
Long story short, she is a very mean natured, selfish abusive lady, who is never happy no matter what. I would be so excited to tell her when I was having a good day, she began to see too much joy in my face and it quickly turned into hate. I bothered her constantly with my agoraphobia and other trauma related issues, mostly from being given up to a crap family who were also abusive and emotionless.
I've been homeless for 7 months. She kicked me out of her home in 28°F weather in the middle of January, packed up all my stuff and went through it, stole my phone and shared my personal info with people and is still holding my stuff hostage 7 months after a 100% illegal self-help eviction.
She convinced me to let her help me because I was bipolar, and for the same reason, she deemed it appropriate to punish me with malicious hatred and cruelty at every turn. She's even posted nudes of me on my google business profile.
It's been 7 months and I still have 5 outfits, no home, and I'm proud to say I'm still in college despite her constant harassment. Bipolar people do need help, but when we take it, we often end up worse off than we were in the first place.
