i really dont know what to say... it was suggested i seek help, but i cant afford help. last time i talked to anyone that tried to honestly help me was when i was in the army (right before i got my medical discharge) and right after my second attempt to end my life (although he thought i did it by accident and closed the case)... that was well over 15 years ago.
i would love to get help... but i have no idea how and i have no money to pay for it. insurance is too expensive, i have to support a family and the only insurance i can afford comes with a 2k deductable... which means its useless.
i am sorry if i sound like i am complaining or whining.

With the new health care laws, everyone is legally forced to have health insurance (BS, I know, cuz it is expensive) BUT I think this means that they are going to also be forced to offer more affordable plans. Also, there should be at least a few free programs, in CT we have 211, an information/crisis number that you can ask just about any question and get reffered to the right places. Sometimes some operators are more helpful than others, if you aren't satisfied with whoever answers your call, call back in five minutes!!
Good luck, and if you had any affiliation with the army I would think the VA would help, though who knows with the way our govt works. A friend of mine, a 65 year old Vietnam vet, with severe arthritis, homeless, was REFUSED foodstamps and medical coverage- they told him to go to the VA, in another state, and said that he couldn't get foodstamps because he could technically work even though his doctor submitted the forms explaining how debilitating his arthritis is)
