I am an 18-year-old college student who has suffered her whole life with mental illness, several years of it even threatening the stop of my own life. Just a month and a half ago I had to leave school on a mental health withdrawal to get myself back on my feet. (Luckily, I am returning this January).
It is difficult for me to exist in a typical work setting as I get extreme mental exhaustion and have horrible brain fog (which creates difficulty with the most basic tasks).
I am a starving artist and a writer with a dream to one day write full time. It is hard for me to function in a filled home and a crowded dorm, making my creativity and expression ball up, shrivel away. So, with your help I'd like to purchase my dream home. It is close to my college and a fixer upper, but it is a place where I can find independence and focus to pursue what I love.
I continue to work hard at my current job, but I spend more and more days exhausted from the mental toll of it all.
This may not be the saddest of stories but thank you for listening to it. Any and all help is appreciated more than you could ever know.
