I picked up the paper today and read that the company that runs all the hospitals and in our area is closing down their mental health centers. so my t. is gone. I volunteer with our MHA and know there are no adult services in our area, I was driving 45min to see the one I had....what am Im going to do I have been holding on by a thread already

we have taken in my sister who was just diagnosed bipolar and lost her house, business, everything....so I have been trying to keep her OK.....i just don't know, I'm lost....i have met a few people on here that have been very helpful...I have no other friends. I know i isolated myself...i didn't think it would be this bad...i need a friend, i feel so alone I cant even think straight

I finally just started trusting her, I really cant start over honestly...why does this sh** always happen to me, it is like something is written on my forehead that says (i dont know what I am allowed to say here)

I know I am supposed to reach out and I am trying, I dont know who should care if I dont and I really dont!

Yes, there's the problem (one of them). You know you need help, but you're too overwhelmed, or sad, or apathetic to reach out or keep reaching out for services that won't come looking for you.

I'm sorry, Humors1. Maybe tomorrow or some other time or times little bits of clarity and energy will move you forward.

Humors, that's horrible!! I'm sorry. Isn't there some time period between now and when they're completely closed that you can call your T and perhaps ask for a referral elsewhere? If your T is being laid off as well, they'll need to find another job -- perhaps they'll still be able to see you, just somewhere else? I really would call the mental health centre and/or your T and ask.

Hello humors1,

I thought the same as Christine that your T will be needing patients so why not set up an appointment with them and keep seeing them?

Hope it works out for you

Have you been able to contact your T to see if he is going somewhere else and might still be available?

Hi Humors1. You're having one of those days. Reach out . . . find someone who can help you., especially a T. Feeling alone can be scary. As Rohag said you are overwhelmend which translates into not being able do anything. You are not alone. Please remember that, you are NOT alone.

I never thought of that...in the paper I believe it said August which would not leave much time (I cant believe I found this in my local newspaper and not told by my therp.) I have had a lot of family crisis and have not been able to see her every week like I normally do, but it is now that I need her most and I am kind of new here. But I am sure glad there is a place like this.

This may sound harsh but you need to somehow get through your fear and call her so you can get the mental health services you deserve. ok?

You deserve to have support and someone knowledgeable helping you to be higher functioning mental health wize.
