Yeah, unfortunately, trying to address any of the mental issues is pointless, as actual help is just too expensive for most of the population. Since I am pretty much at the bottom, socioeconomically speaking, finding any kind of 'treatment' is akin to finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And, finding that pot is probably a more statistical reality than finding actual mental help without being wealthy. Those 'feel good' programs are set up to make the wealthy feel good as they can feel that they are 'doing something', but they seldom actually do more than toss pills down one's throat. And, I am never taking any of that crap again. I already had my brain fried by taking several different pills that ended up damaging certain body functions but did not seem to help with anything.

(I am speaking from personal experience. If you went to the county for help and they gave you meds and they help, wonderful. They did not help me. They made some things worse. And, I am not going to play 'RX roulette' until we find something that 'might' work after those first few times.)

I never said I was licked. I am cursed and I am done. Being licked would imply that I ever had a chance to begin with. At this point, it is apparent that I never did. Blind, stupid me I guess.
