Help!

I really need HELP but certain circumstances keep me from seeing a doctor. There is no way I could see one right now. I could see one in two years. Is there a healthy way of solving things without going to a doctor?
Things are really BAD. I would greatly appreiate anyones advice. Please.

Are you meaning..... solving matter of the wounded mind?

If YES..... try some VALERIAN , 5-HTP and read Feelings Buried Alive Never Die and Radical Forgiveness.

Good Luck....... but most of all seek counseling.

Thanks, but what if you CAN'T!

I know what you mean but not being able to see a doctor. I was imprisoned in my home without a dependable vehicle, plus the lack of insurance, and was unable to see a psych doc about all the stuff I was experiencing.

It's very hard to be alone and face all this. I mean sure coming here and reaching it out will help but only to some extent because when you turn off the computer you still remain to be alone or in the same situation.

I think we could give much better advice that could benefit you if you could possibly describe what you are going through. We're like shooting blind, all we basically know is your asking help because things are bad.......like how bad.....what?

I really hope you can find some type of advice that will help you here. Please let us know if you need anything.

(((((((rainstorm))))))
Is there a teacher or SOMEBODY you can talk to? A neighbor, a hotline, anybody?
Please, take care of yourself.

I have an eating disorder, sevre dpression, I cut, my family treats me like %#@&#! they really don't give a damn, my friends use me. There is more but I don't want to seem like a ***** or anything and keeping talking about it. It is really hard and exhausting. I don't know if I can.........

(((hugs))) distraction is a good way to try and cope with being overwhelmed and depressed. Thought blocking is another. By not allowing yourself to dwell on all the bad stuff (which is what depression makes us do) you can get through a day. TC

I still stand behind this advice if counseling is not possible....


LoVe,

Do you have a church pastor who can visit with you? Some pastors are trained for counseling or trained to be a good listener.
Why are you unable to seek counseling? Is it a financial reason? There are places that offer therapy on a sliding pay scale. There is probably some local resources. Perhaps your library may have a directory of social service organizations in your area. 211 is a resource in a lot of areas. National Alliance for the Mentally Ill has support groups. Group therapy is cheaper than individual therapy. Is that an option?
Are you unable to get out of your house? Perhaps you can find a place that might agree to a modification that might make it easier. I am not sure any places offer home visits. But, I sure would check before i concluded it wasn't an option. I have heard of telephone therapy/internet therapy. However, I suspect that it is harder to check the counselor's credentials in this situation. Also, not being face to face makes it harder to insure confidentiallity and to prevent misunderstanding between you and any therapist/doctor. Please forgive me for the list of questions. I just want to insure that you have explored all of your options. Otherwise, continue to post here and we will offer whatever support that we can. There are some good books out there that you might find in your library. There is some good books on relaxation techniques, mood gym which is a website is good for learning cognitive behavior/Rational Emotive therapy techniques for depression. I think you can find an old posting about it in psychotherapy I suspect. I think it was title free T. I don't know how to include website addresses from my book marks.
Some eating disorders involve eating so little food that the person ends up malnourished. If that is the case, then it may be tougher if not impossible to deal with without professional help. I hope you find the help you need.

Thank you. There is no way I can leave my house. There is a money situtation with my parents. I am trapped here. My parents would get mad if I started going back to her. I just don't want to deal with them yelling at me. Thank you I will look into some of those things.

Are you old enough to leave home yet?

Or is there another relative or friend you could live with for a bit?

Sounds like your family are not very supportive or understanding of how you feel.

Maybe making the big decision of leaving would help you, and then you could see a doctor who is not connected to your family?

Food for thought......even if you can't do that now........something for the future?

Take care.

I am old enough to leave but I can't my parents would be able to screw my over money wise. They are really controlling and want everything there way. I think getting out would help but it is going to be a long time until then.

I am not sure I understand your whole situation but there are services that are available and affordable. Is it that if you are diagnosed with some type of mental disorder that you don't inherit or control your money after a certain age? I'm sorry I don't mean to pry but just trying to understand. If it will help please feel free to PM me. Take care. I would like you to recieve the help you need.
