I was hoping and praying that my struggle in dealing with my mom's death was over with, but it's not.

As some of you already know, I was hospitalized for severe depression soon after my mom's death. I'm sure some of you may remember just how much of a mess I was...meds weren't helping at all and I was a complete wreck 24/7.

Recently, within the past few weeks, I've been thinking more and more of my mom. This is the month she died a couple years ago. I was hoping that this would just be another phase that I was going through where I'd get a little down at her not being with me any longer and then it would pass. Well, as each day passes the worse I'm getting...again.

I think yesterday was the first time I admitted to myself that I was becoming suicidal again...wanting nothing more than to be with her. I just feel this overwhelming black cloud looming over me. I'm crying at the drop of a hat, too. I can't sleep much...everything's just coming back. Days are depressing and nights...well lets not get into how my nights are...can we just say I could use a little hospitalization at night!

With the mental health services not being at all up to what I need them to be here in the county I'm in, I really don't know what to do. I'm thinking of going for some grief counselling....but I'm scared at the lack of effective therapy there is. I mean it seems like the counselors, for lack of a better word, are incapable of helping anyone, let alone someone with severe problems.

The counselors here just molly-coddle you, they don't help you out in any beneficial way. At least that's what I've seen so far. At least for right now I'm posting on forums and gaining support that way...oh I have no clue.
