Fighting to Rebuild After Mental Health Struggles

Hi, my name is Igor Alexandrovich

The past two years have been the hardest of my life. I’ve been battling severe mental health issues, including psychosis and bipolar episodes. These struggles have taken a huge toll — I lost my job of 15 years, my car and driver’s license, my relationship, my band, and even the chance to finish recording an album I had poured my heart into.

I’m proud to say that I quit drinking alcohol 4 years ago and haven’t touched a drop since. Sobriety has been a major source of strength for me through all of this.

In the past, after my psychotic episodes, I sometimes turned to unhealthy ways of coping. I was even accused of using drugs when I wasn’t — accusations that made my mental state worse. But today, I’ve completely cut everything out of my life except for occasional cannabis use, which doctors have even recommended I consider getting a medical card for, as it helps me manage sleep and anxiety. I’m working hard every day to stay stable, focused, and committed to rebuilding my life.

Unfortunately, during one of my psychotic episodes I was arrested, and in the process the police lost my phone — another blow that left me even more isolated.

In May, I lost my job. Since then, without transportation, I haven’t been able to secure steady work. Things worsened recently: I faced eviction, and while trying to manage my symptoms, I admitted myself into a mental health clinic to stay safe. Unfortunately, this pushed back my eviction court date, and now I am officially being forced to leave my home this Tuesday.

>

> I don’t have any family I can rely on right now, which makes this situation incredibly overwhelming. With nowhere to turn, I’m relying entirely on the kindness of others to help me stay safe and rebuild my life. On top of that, I’ve been battling prostate cancer for a few years now, and during my last psychotic episode—when my phone was shut off—I missed a critical biopsy surgery. I’m facing serious health risks and need help to get back on my feet.

I have nowhere to go and no money to get back on my feet. I’m reaching out with humility and hope — asking for your help during this critical time.

What the funds will be used for:

Finding temporary housing so I’m not homeless after eviction

Food and daily essentials

Transportation support while I look for work

Stability so I can continue mental health treatment and rebuild my life

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference in helping me survive this immediate crisis and begin healing. If you’re not able to give, please consider sharing this campaign with others who might be able to help.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading and for caring.

Igor Alexandrovich
