I am desperate. I have begged for help from friends for a while but they say that it is nothing and to get over it. It's not their fault, they simply don't understand. My parents are abusive physically and emotionally so that is out. They have no idea. I am done trying. there is NO support where I live, that goes without saying -- I mean there is not even a hotline to call. The hospital is an hour away and has only rudimentary supplies, it's barely a hospital. I don't know what to do! I am so terrified at this moment, I need helpasap. No hotlines to call, so now what? I am one of thousands most likely who is severely, and I mean dangerously, mentally ill. When will the world (well okay America) realize there is a HUGE problem here? And more importantly -- what can I do about it for myself? It doesn't seem right that people are suffering so horribly, in plain view....but I suppose I am more concerned with my own suffering at this moment, that is, how to stop it. It is unbearable and has gone on nonstop, so I think it's time to cut my losses.
