No money for therapy and no insurance. I'm paying out of pocket just to keep myself medicated. The visit because I paid cash was only $60. Was over $300 for my meds.

Therapy, self help types of approaches, or both, could be integral at this stage, YMIHere.

Definitely self esteem issues. This I know. I just don't know how to solve them by myself. I listen to a lot of self help books and I do gain better perspectives but nothing that ever helps me get over any real hurdles.

Thank you for this perspective. I'll try to remember it if I'm willing to give it a shot. It's the QUIET the scares me to death.
