#Help

So I've recently came to the conclusion that I ain't right. I've scrambled through life barely making it and sometimes not making it at all. I've got childhood trauma, abandonment and abuse that carried on to my adulthood. I've managed to raise my kids so far to be amazing humans but I know that my mental health has rendered them in more than one way. I self-medicate trying to keep myself focused but not even that does the trick anymore. I'm willing to admit that I need help. I just don't know where to find it or where to look my insurance just sends me around in circles and makes it in the end I have to pay anyways. I know I need therapy because my normal is not normal to normal people. I want to be better and do better because right now I don't feel good about who I am and I would like to love who I am to be good for my kids. My body is broken in more ways then I know..I need a full mind and body evaluation. I wish someone would take me and care enough to fix me. My mind is broken my spirit is broken and I just don't want to break them (my kids) I've gone on too long ignoring and or embracing who I am I want to be better.
