My family/financial/work obligations are the only reason I'm still here. I was in a a rough position late last year. I took a huge risk only to find out less than a month later that I had taken that risk on the basis of a lie. Now I'm even worse off than I was before. I was so close to stability. I finally had the chance to start seeing a therapist, I was getting my health in order, I had found a better living arrangement than paying rent. I was less than 24 hours away from things changing for the better.

Now, the only thing keeping me here is my obligations. I'm not living for myself anymore. I'm not currently a danger to myself or others because I don't want to leave others saddled with my work and finances. Seeing a therapist, whom I'd started seeing before things took a turn, provides me a place to get it all out. My psychiatrist is great but the medications I've been trying haven't been. I don't know what would happen if I woke up and a genie told me that all of those obligations had been dealt with while I was asleep. The answer to that golden question might change. I'm not trying to end up hospitalized or with a long psychiatric record.

What type of situation would I be getting myself into if I tell them that my obligations are the only thing keeping me here?
