[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 553608, member: 1550"] I was married and pregnant and 23 and mentally ill. I had no help from my parents, just a puzzled husband, and one thing I knew is that *I* had to take care of my own problems. No parents to bail me out (nor should they have to at that age). There is a lot YOU can do, but YOU have to do it and stop blaming your parents for your problems. If you are abusing your parents, you'll feel a lot better if you cut it out. Go to a self-help group and ask the people there where they are going for help and how they got better. I did a lot of that. Try to get your head together before you finish college because until you do you won't be successful at a job anyway. Sorry I can't be more sympathetic. By your age, like I said, I had to do it myself and I did do it myself. There is only one person who can help you and that is YOU. There are free or low cost mental health centers that you can go to without involving your parents and there are state hospitals that can help you detox, if you need to do that. I had to grow up. You do too. Those are things that you can do. I did them all, except for the detox since that wasn't my issue. But it's available for you. I wish you good luck :) [/QUOTE]
