>Don't give up with the medications if you think you need something. There are millions of them out there, and one of them might actually prove to be beneficial. I remember reading that schizophrenics, for example, will spend a VERY long time trying to find the right meds, like, years.

>Meds won't kill you, some can harm you, but in the end at least they aren't cigarettes or alcohol, and if they can make your life a little less miserable then that's way better than being miserable.

That's just the thing. I don't quite have the luxury to keep doing this anymore. I'm at the end of my line here.

As I wrote in my post here:

>Back in September of last year, my brother kicked me out of my apartment. My own apartment. This guy has been using my name and social security number for the taxes for his legally and morally questionable business for about a half a decade. He's been using me to help with his business for years. He's been using my name and social security number to explain how he's paying for a lot of the things that he's paying for: his rent, his bills, his business' expenses... and he's still doing it right now. And he's got our entire family wrapped around his finger, feeding into his narcissistic supply. He's manipulating everybody. He's successfully gotten the entire family turned against me. Our mother defends everything that he does and says. Hell, even my father (who is my biological father, but his stepfather) defends the guy... even though my father has repeatedly warned me about how "crazy" and "dangerous" my brother can be. But he still insists on defending the guy.

I'm currently living in an apartment with my 70-year-old mother. And I know that this won't last for much longer. I don't know how much longer this will last. Maybe six more months... or five... or four, or three, or two, one...

Pretty soon I'm going to end up like the 6,000 homeless people pictured here living a short walking distance east of here, in Skid Row, Los Angeles.
