hi, my name is kristine, and I have a problem. A few, actually. Ive struggled with depression for years, 17 to be exact. Ive tried to commit suicide 5 different times, and the thoughts still pass through my mind from time to time. I can't afford to see a therapist, so clinical trials are the best I can do for treatment right now. Lately, I've been cutting thanks to feelings of worthlessness and feeling like a failure, and because I feel like the world's most evil person. The onlly things keeping me alive are God and a promise I made to my fiancee that I wouldn't try to kill myself again. To make things worse, I'm struggling with my job, and I feel like I'm hitting walls. I can't focus, I have daily headaches, among other things. If anyone knows of any better way to get treatment despite a lack of money, please let me know. Thanks.

Hello & Welcome, Kristen29! If you are in the USA, 2-1-1 (United Way/AIRS) might be the place to at least start getting information on where to turn for help. You are no stranger to depression and more. Please keep posting here and also consider the Self Injury Forum.

I know a lot of colleges that offer degrees in counseling also offer free counseling. The counselors have gone through all their schooling except for actual 1 on 1 patient time. I used them a couple of times, and really couldn't tell a difference between them and one you pay for. Search their website for more information.
Good luck and keep fighting!!
