i am so exhausted. i'm in my mid 20s living with my mom and sharing a room with my 11 year old sister. no friends, no romantic prospects. i live in a small suburban town with nothing to do. all of the fun and interesting events are at least an hour away, but i have a raggedy 30 year old car that i do not feel safe driving even 25 miles away.
i am constantly being rejected from horribly paid entry level shit-eating positions (receptionist, office/admin assistant, mailroom) even with a bachelors degree and experience, and when i do manage to land an interview i can not even make it past the phone screen. wages are falling and i live in an area of the US with a very high cost of living. it's like i'm asking for the bare minimum necessary for survival and constantly being told that i am delusional for thinking i deserve that. i feel completely worthless and don't know what to do with myself.
i am in recovery, but i came very close to ctb this week. i bought cornhole bags and ratchet straps for night night method, but i had second thoughts so i tried to cancel the order. it was too late to cancel the cornhole bags so i still have those. i keep trying to tell myself that this is rock bottom and just a very very rough segment of my life that i will live to see the end of, but it feels less realistic every day. i can't talk to my mom about it because she is just not helpful or comforting when it comes to mental health stuff, and i would rather be shot than start crying to people on discord about SI.
i don't want to check myself into an intensive inpatient program because the only hospitals covered by my shitty poor people insurance are notorious for abuse and ultimately don't care about me or my mental health. i don't think i'll ever get out of this hole. and no one can help me.
there are so many things that i want to experience but haven't had the chance to because i'm always either extremely mentally unwell or broke or both. the thought of dying without having those formative experiences kept me from ctb for awhile, but now i'm not so sure that i care anymore. nothing feels worth staying alive for.
