I was put into a mental hospital a while back and it helped a lot. I was doing well for a while but I was recently diagnosed with PTSD and it's been down hill ever since. Over just the past week I've cut on my arms and legs over 3 dozen times and I started drinking and smoking again. I'm also having flashback rather often and nightmares almost every night. I'm miserable and I don't see myself getting any better. I think it'd be a good idea for me to go back but it's expensive and I'm afraid I'll get behind in school again. I also don't know how to bring this up to my mom. Were getting evicted from our apartment and I don't want to stress her out more. I would really appreciate some advice. :/

Look.
School is important, but it can wait. On that front, being hospitalized is the best decision for you because you're obviously in a really bad place right now. I'm truly sorry to hear you're being evicted, and that is no doubt adding to the mental strain that you're under, but you need to take care of yourself, and taking care of yourself means asking your mother to put you back in the hospital. Please, be okay.

I talked to her about it and I'm going to work something out with my teachers so I don't fall behind in school while I'm there. Thank you.
