Well. The person who came here from Arizona has an eating disorder, among other things, and I am finding myself with yet another thing to worry over...she is not eating, and when she does, it is orange juice or fruit...nothing else. I am trying to get her help here, but I don't know what to do! I know next to nothing about eating disorders! I feel like now that she is staying here I can't abandon her to go into the hospital, and I feel even more anxious and suicidal. Instead of helping myself, I have made things worse. Her family is harassing her(us) and contacting all her friends and prospective employers and even the police, telling them she has stolen property, is suicidal, etc. and threatening me...(oh by the way, she's 21, not suicidal, and her car is hers, with a co-signer, and she is making the payments.) Her mother is irrational as hell. I didn't need this, but now I feel like I'm stuck. Damn I hate being in constant crisis, I just joined this list thing recently and I'm Mr. High Maintenance. Janice, I agree that is was really above and beyond for you to help me like you did. Thank you. I really don't know what to do next. I stopped taking most of my meds, and dropped out of day tx. They will probably drop me at UCLA now, and I have no where else to go, as I cannot pay my monthly "share of cost" (California's version of medicaid, medi-cal, makes a person pay a certain amount per month based on income) Of course, SSDI raises my payment every year by about $15 then medi-cal raises the share of cost by $40, effectively making sure I have LESS money per month as each year passes. Lovely, isn't it? C'est la Morte!
goddess bless you all
