"We live in a world that creates impossible standards... I say to all of that, 'Screw you and die.' We should celebrate imperfection, because that's the one thing all of us can achieve."

Im just tired of never having anything for myself. I can't even work yet still due to the mental issues and the fact that still, after what, two years, the medication is doing little but keeping me semi-stable. What money I do make on the side with art, when I think I might be able to save it up to get some new clothes(I haven't bought new clothes in over a year, I wear the same pair of pants over and over pretty much). I need it to buy food. I need it to buy medication for mom. I realize I don't "NEED" to take care of her, but there is a large difference between thinking that and being able to say it when you deal with a blood relative you might not like, but you still have to love.
She has osteoporosis, she could break a bone by bending wrong. She has false teeth, she needs a specific expensive diet for her bones and her kidneys. She needs pain killers. She refuses to get checked out for mental issues(And I quote, "I am not crazy"), but I'm certain she has OCD and PTSD to say the least. This does not help my own issues, especially when I have my manic episodes of wanting to scream at her for making the least noise, for breathing to loud, for chewing loud enough that I can hear.
I just want to be able to buy myself a shirt and not feel bad about it. I want to be able to have my quiet time, when I don't have to hear anything but the noise of air and birds outside.
But I cant, so Ill deal.

And I can definitely sympathize with not being able to work due to mental illness (I'm in that boat right now).
