No, unfortunately there isn't.

In fact, I've tried to talk to someone many times.. It was pretty long time ago. My parents didn't get me - they just said I wasn't depressed and to stop being a crybaby. I went to therapist with my SO who then started seeing someone else and never called me again (was T's advice btw). Then I lost two friends trying to reach out to them and two more thought I was all negative and weird. Now that I avoid driving they don't really want to see or hear me. I was everyone's free taxi cab and rollercoaster. Co-workers.. some of them are nice to me but my boss thinks depressed people are dangerous. I heard him saying really bad stuff about person with mental problems. Stigma is still very strong here.. I hate this ****d up place.

I'm not on meds or in therapy - terrified of local docs and hospitals. But I understand that I would benefit from therapy and antidepressants.. just as from euthanasia or brain transplant.

this next part can trigger (SI)
I'm not asking for advice - they are just thoughts.

I used to cut, burn, pierce etc. at younger age. I'm worn out, losing hope. Urges came back suddenly. Can't stop but think that it would actually help, although it's clearly a trap.. on second thought, everything is. If everything goes swimmingly, I might even get it over with.. and stop being a burden.
There is also a chance that someone will notice and help me. Very original. Right.
((((((ExiExi))))) I see and understand how you feel. I myself went in for help to a state run out patient clinic. When depression hit me the hardest ever I had a friend of a friend who worked for this place and they got me to go in. I didn't even know at the time that this place existed. I only know that with out my friend's help I most likely would not be here today. I think that it would be a good idea for you to see your local doctor. I know that your first steps through the door are going to be hard but you have to look after yourself. Your doctor should be able to help you with medications and a therapist. Good luck and please take care of yourself. Hugs for your day..
Thanks for this!
