[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 459513, member: 11791"] It doesn't matter what kind of help you need... $$, therapist, medications. If you do all that is in your power, the "right things", then you end up being "not needy enough". The ones who don't do anything for themselves? well... they need the help, right? [B][U][I]But that does NOT mean that I do not need help too[/I][/U][/B]. Budgetting, knowing how to find the "good" stuff at thrift stores, learning the skills the therapist is teaching, etc. Having done all that, though... is never quite enough. I can repair jeans so you can't tell they were repaired (depending on the problem, of course). I can sew - with thrift-store fabric - and have some really neat things in the house, like matching curtains and place mats in the kitchen (for a grand total of $10 in supplies). You will have the things you are good at, too. But sometimes it just is NOT enough. And no, I do not believe that you need to look like trash and live in trash, to be "poor enough". [/QUOTE]
