Hey, im a Montana girl. Been struggeling with mental illness all my life. After being severly traumatized, 15 years ago...I have been drinking. Except for almost a month i recently spent in jail. Im scared of the sh*t life Ive created. Ive lost the ability to trust myself. So trust nothing. I feel grimy, in the company of those i used to call friend. Im glad to find thos group. I need to reel in the posible growing consequences, of living a life no one but God, still cared about. Thank you for your time

@Goodturtle77 I help her as much as i can. In a frantic overbearing way, the only way i know death is sudden. Panic and really just barely holding it together to function, as no not make an unbearable situation worse, this is the only way I've known death. She is one of 2 people left who tether my soul to this world. I love and still need her. I look her in her eyes, there is a fear ive not seen before, how do i mourn the smaller losses, help her come to some peace, and still maintain any kind of mental health? I guess im asking for really practical normal reactions a stable and healthy person would have?

Ya for sure, i appreciate the advice, it seems difficult in small towns to find a counselor that i can really understand, trust, find common ground with..being in and out of behavioral therapy for so many years i value my privacy also. Is there support youve found in rural america?
