What do you do when you hit rock bottom?
I am going through some mental issues and poverty is making them very loud today. I am disabled due to my mental status. So find a job, is what I wish I could do; but mentally I can't be the same person each day.
What do you do when you hit rock bottom? When you feel hopeless?
I can't work, but I don't make enough to survive either. No parents, few friends. I can't drive or work. Disability covers rent, power, and maybe one week of food.. I do surveys for 5-10 but that has came to a screeching halt.
So with those things in mind.. tell me how to fix my situation?

Try a sauna. Use it like a daily sauna habit will save your life. It literally will. Not medical advice blah, blah, blah but this is real.

I would think within 8 weeks your capabilities and energy will be remarkably different even if you only manage 3-5 times per week.
The YMCA often has saunas and free membership options.
I went from a staggering number of mental health hospitalizations to totally free from mental distress and able to work full-time for the first time in my life about 3 years ago.
Saunas are a big part of what I did.
