Hello, 

im currently awaiting a diagnosis, im struggling daily and had an ambulance to me yesterday as I was feeling suicidal.

it was triggered by a confrontation in work and feeling attacked for who I am and the way I speak etc… I feel lost and lonely. 
I can’t go back but I also can’t afford to leave. Does anyone else ever get treated like an outcast?
