Welcome aboard this DS lifeboat Music Girl. Most of us have found peer support here is a huge help. When I came here I read lots of posts and replies, which both let me be a part of, but also found that many folks shared tools that had helped them. Let me add to my toolbox for coping with the mental and emotional stuff. Comforting hugs.

Hey there Simpson’s OK. Call your local MHMR and make an appointment. I don’t have enough information to help more - but I know that local MHMR and NAMI organizations can provide income based services and free referrals. I need more information about why you do not want to balance the chemicals your body needs in order to suggest more resources. Suddenly stopping some medications is very hard on the cells of your body which adds to more stress.

What’s MHMR? I just feel if I’m no longer going to therapy then what is the point of the medicine

Hi musicgirl1991, You will find lots of support and good coping tips here. Why is it that you can't go to therapy any longer? And, do you have a psychiatrist (an MD?).
We are here for you! :)

Hey, I'm here if you need to talk! <3

Mom says itsbto expencive and be that I should know how to handle it by now with out therapy .yes I have a psychiatrist she is gonna be sure pissed when she finds out I’m not going to therapy ...

I understand that money can be an issue with therapy. Though you can think of all us here as free therapy :).

If you ever want to talk privately about anything don’t hesitate to PM me. I’m always here to help.

I just feel like I’m loosing it yesterday I wripped both wrists open with my nails and I keep scratching them .my mom is in the hospital so I was visiting her and I noticed the other side of her wing is the psych ward and my sick head was like u should be there .but that makes no sense cause I’m still functioning in society and I’m not crazy suicidle Just misserable .i do t know what to do I don’t think I will ever go back to therapy

I am sorry you are going through this. Anxiety and depression are very difficult things to deal with. Have you thought about joining a group that have people in it that are going through the same things as you? I have heard great things about those groups because they can help you get your feelings out in the open and make you feel like you have people to talk to. I hope everything gets better.

My parents are against groups they think they will set me off more

Can I suggest a good book? It's called "Why isn't my brain working?"by Datis Kharrazian.It's a big book and I don't know if you have the focus or desire to read right now,but it's so helpful to me,with many outside the box treatments with many case testimonials

I’ll look into it.just like you thought I don’t know if I have the focus or drive to read right now .right now my head has pretty much tilled me to shut out all help and just hurt myself instead .the only thing it is letting me do is go to work and talk to people on here:(

Are you on any medication?I've been able to maintain my anxiety and depression without meds as they only messed me up.Google Dr.Abram Hoffer and anxiety.He was a Canadian Psychiatrist who treated his patients with niacin therapy,a natural vitamin and had success.If you have any questions I'm here if I can help further:)

I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through, girl. I know how difficult and frustrating it must be for you. Please don’t get stressed out, but just take a deep breath and relax. Look for things to do to keep your mind off of your negative feelings. Maybe you could pursue an activity, sport, or hobby that you enjoy and that makes you feel good. Physical exercise has the added benefit of helping to relieve negative emotions naturally. Remember that you deserve to feel better. I just said a prayer for you, and I hope that God will surround you with His comfort and provide the help you need at this time. Take good care of yourself. Hugs!

Ragteshi yes I’m on anti anxiety and depression meds but I haven’t been taking them consistently cause I can’t be bothered
