i want help but im scared
3 years ago my mom passed away, since then i was devastated. she was my life. my beat friend was always there for me, even though she had her own problems she always helped me. last year she got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, it was really hard for her, i was there for her every day, every hospital visit, every checkup, everything. two months ago after her usual tests and checkups her doctors told her that she’s actually doing a lot better and her chances of survival are much higher. we made so many plans, we were so excited. 2 days ago she lost her battle to cancer. im lost, i dont know what to do. my mom was my only family and she was my only friend, im all alone now. i want help but im so scared to seek for it, everything costs so much and i sont have that kind of money to get help. i dont want my mental health to get worse again, i want to feel good.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss... To lose her after she had fought for so long, and especially after that moment of hope, must be truly devastating.
What you are describing- is an enormous trauma layered on top of grief. It is completely understandable that you feel lost and alone right now.
It is also completely valid that you want help but are scared because of the costs. You mentioned you don't want your mental health to get worse, and that shows a lot of strength!
