I have been battling depression and anxiety for years. I am a single male, 37 years old, no children. I am having a hard time finding mental health help in my area. No one will see me unless I am sui/homo cidal OR if I have insurance or medical coverage of some sort through the government.

I do have access to a tribal clinic but all they are really able to do is prescribe medication.

I have been on a ton of different medications and eventually found a combination that worked for a while.

I recently was fired from my job, and it is like something inside me broke. I cannot hardly function anymore, my apartment is a shambles, I just don't care. I am still sound enough in my mind to ask for help and have contacted various agencies but what I need is to be checked into a facility. I have so much depression and anxiety that it is starting to turn into rage.

The only medication I have left that is working is Seroquel and I only take that because if I dont I will be awake for days and end up in the local ER talking to a mental health agent.

I have a well established record there for my mental issues but I feel like I am slipping down a steep slope.

I am probably going to be homeless as my rent is due on the 5th and I have no way to pay it. I feel like a huge weight is on me and I am going to pop.

When I was seeing the regular doctor at the tribal clinic they thought I was bipolar, depressed, anxiety disorder and psychosis. I got on meds, actually held a job down for 3 years before I got fired. Now I dont know what to do.

They only "thought" those things because no one there was qualified to make a diagnosis.

I dont want to get on more meds, but I know I might have to, but I cannot see a real head doctor because I am unable to pay.

Sorry for the long post. I had to get my thoughts down in print before I went nuts. Thank you for your time.
