1. I can't identify with all your issues, but at least a few of them are familiar to me.

I'm currently in a situation where I feel trapped. I'm living with my brother and our relationship is difficult at times--so much that I've taken long walks late at night in the heat and cold in order to stop fighting with him. I'm also not getting much assistance with my mental health issues other than free prescriptions, but nothing that addresses the feelings of despair or loneliness.

Unfortunately, the conservative bigots and assholes are everywhere. I try to limit my interactions with them because it only serves to get me more depressed.

Is there any way to find some volunteer work in your area? It may be the way to make contacts that could eventually help you.

I asked the same question at the end of your OP to myself many times. At least for tonight, all I can say is hold on and try to make through until tomorrow. Even if your sisters don't understand, you at least have your mother who will miss you. I hope that you can find some comfort in these words because I was in similar circumstances last year when I overdosed. Just find some way to get past the pain and try to develop a plan for leaving these circumstances that you dread. Good luck to you.
