<prompt> Human: EDIT: I LIVE IN AUS - I am in a heavily abusive environment.- I have bipolar I rapid cycling, CPTSD, BPD, Anxiety, etc this abuse makes these worse.- I can not work. Every time i have tried to work, it has ended up with me in hospital.- I do not qualify for disability. yes, its stupid, I know- I am already on the waiting list for public housing.- I have two therapy cats that keep me alive. they notice when I am depressed and spend a lot of time with me, and honestly keep me out of hospital- i get 520 dollars a fortnight- I can only access 24ish therapy appointments for free in a calendar year. otherwise its 80 dollars per session- cat food is about 60 dollars a month.- phone is 30 dollars a month but could drop that to about 20.- i currently pay 140 a fortnight for rent, which includes food but nothing else.- if I am not hypomanicmanic I try to save 100 dollars a fortnight.I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I feel like my only options are:- stay in the abusiveness house hold, but having more access to therapy, and being able to afford my cats.- move into student accom, give up my cats, give up the idea of any extra therapy, and start working.But honestly I dont see how I can continue where I am, or move out. i feel like im stuck between a rock and a hard place.Assistant: About your cat, arent there any places you can get reduced priced pet food in your area? I know some food pantries and animal shelters can give it out.Human: I know this is stupid of me, but I know a lot of cheap cat food is like animal junk food, full of starch and corn, and i cant bring myself to feed them that.i am trying to look into creating my own food for them.  <response>: Really, its not always really cheap. A lot of it is just normal cat food. Besides, dont take this the wrong way, but theyre cats. They evolved to eat way grosser things than that. However, I understand. These cats are very important to you.
