I reached out to a phone counselor for some supported and had ask for a referral. The referral I received no one on that list has either been qualified to help me, took my health insurance, or I didn't meet the criteria because of my age and what I need help on. The phone counselor offer to talk to me. At that time? I was unaware that that they don't want anyone to call but one time. I was threaten to have the police call on me, social service call on me, or I received a phone call from someone who informed me they had discussed confidential information with another phone counselor or they requested information about my educational record from the campus I had attended. When all I did was ask for some coping skill to help me deal with some stressed.

This sounds very hurtful. I am sorry you had to deal with that. There might be better places to reach for help. You'll have to do your research.

I just haven't found anyone yet who could help me. I start going to the internet. I watch lots of YouTube channel on mental health. I join support group and found myself banned from a few. All because I had ask for some help. I am at the point of giving up

I wonder what is going wrong. Something is happening to have the police get called and to be banned from support websites. Do you know what is happening for people to react that way? Maybe if you can figure out why people are getting upset when you ask for help you'll be able to ask in a different way that results in a different outcome.
I don't know what is happening for you, but if you can figure that out you might be able to better access some real support. Do you know what was going on for the phone counselor to want to call the police, or for you to get banned? I think if you can figure that out you'll be much better able to get the support you need.
Thanks for this!

Agree with Amyjay. I hear you're struggling and need help. And you deserve to get help and relief from your problems!
But same as Amyjay, I think people usually have to have a reason to threaten with calling the police and banning someone from forums. I'm not saying you're an evil person. I fully believe you didn't mean to do anything bad. But sometimes we don't realise how our words and behaviours affect others. Maybe you don't have much social experience or perhaps articulating your thoughts is difficult for you?
If you told us the reason these hurtful things happened to you we could suggest a better way of asking for help that would be more positive for you.

It was nothing that I had done in general it was the false information on their website that is misleading information about what they had offer. I had ask some question and the person answering the phone said that they were the one who had violated their policies. I would have to be a danger to myself or to someone else or report an allegations in details of physical abuse for me to have the police or social services on me. In order for them to contact the campus I had been attending to I would have to be a danger to myself or to someone there and what I tell a counselor is confidential they are not supposed to discuss anything with anyone else unless I was a danger.

There was nothing that I had done it was a false accusations made against me that was false by those who felt the need to bully other people. All of the accusations happen when I wasn't online or wasn't in a conversation. When I ask them specifically what it was they had a problem with? They couldn't tell me anything. The monitor attack me because they had a problem with me because I was not gay. Other had been bullied an banned but never as long as me. One of them who had bullied me went online somewhere else and bullied me there as well I was called degrade name then falsely accused of saying they had me banned but couldn't say who it was that told that and this one of them admitted previously she had me banned.
