I can say that I have hit bottom. Thoughts of hurting myself flood my mind everyday. I have no where to turn, no family, no support. I was recently divorced in 10/03. My ex-husband got everything. The only thing I got was what I could carry myself and haul in my little car. He even got residential parenting of our 13yr old twins. I have never been separated from my children. We do have shared parenting, but on the days that they are not with me, I cry so much. The separation from my children is killing me inside. I am a Registered Nurse, but to the point that I cannot work. I know that I am going to loose my recent nursing position, because I can't commit myself to work. I am over $30,000.00 dollars in dept, bills keep coming in and I am to the point of filing bankruptcy. Yesterday was my breaking point. I wanted to give up on life. I didn't care anymore. I have no strength left inside. I just laid in my empty apartment alone, afraid, given up, drained mentally and physically. I would love to go to counseling, but finacially I cannot afford it. Is there any hope for me? I am so torn and struggling inside. Please someone help me.

Hi,
Welcome. I would suggest as you say that you feel like harming yourself, that you may benifit from talking to a Mental Health Crisis worker, in regards to your feelings, of wanting to harm yourself. I would suggest perhaps an asesment for admition to an inpatient mental health facility as you have stated you have not the resourses for outpatient counseling, and where I live the community mental health center must provide you treatment if you are a danger to yourself or others.

Your precious life can not ever be replaced by money, as I would try not to worry about the finacual aspects of treatment in this critical time of your emotional mental crisis.

Medication may ease these thoughts and feelings, and help you to cope and see that there is indeed hope.

God Bless and Please do not give up hope.

Best Wishes-
~KRIS~

If you think you have totally gave up, you haven't, because you are here!

contact your local United Way, it is normally a toll free number and they will refer you to a counselor that charges based on the sliding scale, so it may not cost you at all!.

Lots of love to you and take care of yourself. Try to join a support group for divorce people, those are free and can really uplift you.

Take care and keep on talking to us, we're ready to support you in any way we can.
