I've mentioned before that I've had previous suicide attempts, including partial hanging and a prolonged water fast. I'm not posting this to alarm anyone, but because I'm struggling and I need support.
I'm 42 years old, a visibly trans woman, and I'm facing homelessness beginning this weekend. I have a master's degree, but I also live with severe CPTSD and ongoing psychotic symptoms that can significantly impair my executive functioning and ability to navigate daily life.
Most days feel like a fight just to stay organized, hopeful, and connected to reality. The combination of trauma, mental illness, financial instability, and the prospect of homelessness has left me feeling overwhelmed and isolated.
I'm sharing this because I don't want to carry it alone. I don't necessarily need solutions; I think I need people to know what's happening and to remind me that I'm still part of a community. If you have encouragement, practical advice, resources, or simply a kind word, I would appreciate it.
