[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 476306, member: 1157"] Thanks everyone. She seemed better when I picked her up last night, I took her to the grocery store and got her some basics. I'm going to keep in close touch with her for now. I've given her some phone numbers for various assitance programs, she called all but the mental health one and is trying to find some help. I think she wants someone to just give her the money for her rent etc., though, so she can stay where she is, which doesn't solve the long-term issue of this repeated cycle. In fact, that's what happens every time, someone loans her money (which she never pays back), she scrapes along until the next job, moves, loses the next job, faces eviction again. To change that, she has got to get some help from doctors/therapists to change her behavior (or maybe file for disability, if she can get it). But she only sees short-term, Band-aid fixes in a crisis. And then once she's out of the crisis, she never gets around to fixing the long-term issues or following through on applications for long-term services (like the free clinic). She just lives until the next crisis comes. All I can do is "wait and see." And pray that she can keep the depression at bay or finally get help. [/QUOTE]
