I don't know your situation well enough to advise you. In my case, medication helped me a lot, but I don't think that's the right solution for you who are struggling financially. I know it's irresponsible to say this, but there's no other solution than waiting for bad times to pass, and do what I can.
We all have toxic relationships - those where the give and take is not clear. In my case, I have two, one is a lover, the other is a family member, and they're like hedgehogs in the middle of winter: too far apart and you get cold, too close and you get pricked by each other's thorns. They're bound to make things difficult for me somehow, unless I decide to cut them off altogether.

I'll also have a cup of hot chocolate, bartender!~
You're right. I work as best as I can and need to focus more on my finances before delving into medication. I'll ask when I take family to get a check up, and maybe find some kind of help before I jump into it.
My relationship with my family is strange. It would be fairly easy to cut them off without them even knowing - I am by nature fairly introverted. It's only because of my mother that I still have some connection to them. There's just a lot going on in my head that makes me realize how foolish I was when I was younger. Things can be repaired, but it'll take time. I'm at least a patient person.
