I have been on these wonderful forums for years. I think the thing that slows us down most in giving relevant tips or sharing sources of information that will most help is having to dig for background information. I mean that for example if a woman says her partner is abusive, it doesn’t help us to give lesser examples of the abuse. Then we have to dig for the extent of the situation. Or you may be asking about careers, but you are not getting treatment and you are barely getting by.. Or you’re not getting treatment and asking very complex treatment related questions when you don’t have a place to live. Yes it’s hard to determine the first thing to do when youre overwhelmed, but food, housing, insurance or a program for assistance, psychiatrists and medical doctors come first.
