Just maybe

[UpsiideDown]

So if been having trouble coping with life, just everything basiclly, for a long while i haven't really left my house showered brush my teeth. Only started doing things since my daughter started going school, I haven't wanted to do anything, I solely live for my daughter and if it wasnt for her I wouldn't stay on planet earth, iv avoided doctors hospitals since I gave birth 6 years ago. I don't have a doctor I go too. And I'm not willing to go to one to get a mental health check, I feel scared and I would have to call reception too book a health apptm which I also feel embarrassed about, I'm just eating away at myself and I'm unsure what I can do to fix it, I have mental health problems bi polar n Bpd I refuse to take medication for, I don't want a placebo effect, I don't want to feel like a mannequin, when I did take medication I traded it abused it drank it will alcohol. Try to take enough to or few time, since then I don't even take panadol. I'm really lost. How can I change this feelinb
