Does anyone know of free psychotherapy, mental health clinics, etc in the indianapolis, IN area? Ive been doing some research online to no avail.... I need some kind of help, but i simply cant afford a pdoc or a hospital trip. I depise asking this, as i feel like a freeloader. This isnt me. But this is nearing my last resort

I did come up with some options https://www.google.com/search?q=free...m=122&ie=UTF-8

You can research and see if any will be suitable.

Have you considered free online therapy?

Not a replacement for therapy but you can ask volunteer therapist a question and they answer as their time allows.

Another option is the Depression Support Chat or Anxiety Support Chat - check the Calendar for times.

Many people who are actively involved in Psych Central find it helps take them out of their own problems to develop empathy for others. And their problems though still there are more manageable.

There are lots of compassionate people here that can make the load lighter by sharing and caring. Feel free to participate actively at Psych Central. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com

self caring can include:
Diet can have an affect on how we feel. I have to watch what I eat because foods I eat can stabilize my moods or exaggerate them. A high protein low carb diet with snacks or meals every 3-4 hours will over time reduce my swings. I also avoid alcohol and recreational drugs because those can really increase depression.

Here is what I use when my head gets over crammed with thoughts. Breathe in a natural way. Silently count one on the inhale and 2 on the exhale. 3 on the inhale and 4 on the exhale. Continue up to 10 then go back to 1. This helps me focus on breathing rather than the wall of thoughts.

Other lifestyle changes that help me are doing yoga, exercises, mindfulness, calm music, and being active on Psych Central.
