    Hey @spacedog, I hear you. I'm sorry to hear what you're going through, it sounds like you've been having a rough time lately. I can understand how the threat of being discharged and thrown out could feel isolating, but you absolutely deserve to receive support through this difficult time. You have value and worth, and we're glad to have you as part of our community here <3

    I can understand how comparing yourself to others who are in a similar stage of life to you can make you feel anxious or upset. But importantly, you're not abusing any care. Care and support is specifically there to help people who need it. And in this case where you want and need support, you're deserving of it, simple as. There's enough to go around for everyone who needs it, and that includes you too.

    Are you safe? It sounds like you're in a really difficult situation at the moment. I've included some support services below who you can contact if you need someone to talk to. They might not be able to explain what's wrong, but talking about what's on your mind can help to lift some burden off your shoulders. In the mean time, please let us know on how you're getting on. You're not alone, we're here to support you and listen to you during this time:

    100% ^

    I'm so sorry @spacedog. What a horrible ordeal. There's nothing worse than being in the pits and needing someone to just meet you where you're at, but then they don't. You're not drinking to have a laugh, you're sick, and I kind of hate that they used that language with you "abusing the care given to you" because you are obviously not doing this on purpose.

    I don't know if this will help because it may not resonate right now, but I only started to put my life together in my 20's. It's important to show yourself the compassion and patience you need to become well, to figure some of this stuff out, and understand yourself and what you need. You're a very kind and capable person and I think you'd be giving other people in this situation a lot more slack than you're giving yourself right now. Try to go easy on yourself.

    Keep crying it out if you need to. Other than this community, have you been speaking to or seeing anyone while you're in hospital? Any family or friends?
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
    The truth resists simplicity.
    I no longer work at The Mix! If you need anything, message or tag @TheMix

    Purpose sounds really important to you @spacedog. Recognising what career you do not want anymore is really powerful! Knowing what you want to do instead is such a key step in the right direction. Do you know what your next steps might look like in terms of studying paramedic science? :)
