Hi there. Today is my 50th Birthday and I am trying to have a good day but the truth be known I m not because I am not doing to well in my life right now. I know what I need to do and the changes I need to make but for some reason am not doing them. I have Bipolar and Substance Abuse Disorders and they have really got me down. I don't really have a good support system right now and I need one really bad. The mental health clinic that I go to has not had a Psychiatrist in over a year now and t my therapist is out on sick leave for god knows how long. I haven't gone to any group therapy in months and I feel like I am deteriorating inside. I know that if I really wanted to I could get help I guess if I traveled to a mental health facility in a different town but I for some reason have not taken that action. Anyway, I am just venting my feelings right now so thanks for listening.

Happy Birthday!!!
Now you are likely feeling overwhelmed. New year time for a new direction! What is holding you back from switching clinics? To me that sounds like the best course if action at this time. Again Happy Birthday. Get yourself a specialty cupcake and light a candle.  Time for that annual wish!

I'm glad there is a clinic; I am sure, in an emergency, they could assist you. But the problem seems to be in the interim and caring for your needs to prevent that situation from happening.
You mentioned support group(s). I am understanding I think that you have found them a big part of the self-care and upkeep of your emotional health in the past. What if you were to start a support group? It would take some work, but the clinic could be your very source of assistance and membership. Starting one may be beneficial to you several-fold. There is the obvious benefit of sharing and caring. But so too would the act of organzing one give you a positive sense of self not to mention something to keep you busy. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|

My Support Forums is the online community that was originally begun as the Psych Central Forums in 2001. It now runs as an independent self-help support group community for mental health, personality, and psychological issues and is overseen by a group of dedicated, caring volunteers from around the world.
