Why are they sleazeballs, because their doing there jobs?

my hometown mental health group, for decades, was only taking medicare patients.

a therapist in 1990s said how she and everybody else was to get fired---so that cheaper therapists could be hired.

what is it with people defending millionaire Obama, when people like myself will wind up costing more going to e.r. with problems?

oh yah, anger is the emotion of mobility, it fires up a mind and body with energy needed to fight

enjoy it while it lasts, let it work for you

Anger gives me energy too and can be a good motivater to do something about a problem.My hometown mental health clinic kinda booted me out because they said I was there too long.Meanwhile i'm on SSI and need to be in treatment.i'm on medicaid and that leaves me no-where to go at all.i can sympathiize with your frustrations..

rainydays2,

you and me could probably exchange totally similar stories, and just change the male/female of the story and it'd be 100 percent same.

the clinic in my town had limits for individual therapy, shoving people into group therapy, where clients look at Xeroxed paperwork like in high school.

I never thought I'd be such a mess over my cat, to be desperate enough to return to the clinic I quit in 2006 cause they were so lousy....AND I was scared some insurance company would cause trouble with my blood pressure pills from aarp.

wish there were more effective ways of sending you support for tonight and tomorrow

I so badly want to talk with a counselor but cannot do so because no-one in my town takes medicare. So, I am out of luck. I too find that I am much better when I'm angry, then when I'm sad. It keeps the depression at bay. However, I never want the anger to get out of control. That would not have the right effect that I"m looking for. I haven't been depressed for the last week because a football player made such an A>> out of himself that he has kept me angry. He needs to eat some humble pie and I still highly believe in Karma.

Congrats on the shower and shave, hope you feel better for it. Hugs

So sorry for your experience. I found no or little help from mental heath care professionals. Best scenario is that you educate yourself on the matter that pertains to you and seek out someone who truly cares.

I have found that educating myself and learning how to deal with issues is far better than relying on a doctor or counselor. Most of them either don't really care or don't have enough knowledge to help you.

Keeping you in my prayers.

The best mental healthcare is that which you can give yourself...by taking another bike-ride, doing more physical exercise.

Anger always destroys something .. usually happiness. Not the best way to go, IMHO.

definitely true if you dont know how to make good use of anger

but if you DO know how to make good use, then youre doing what evolution intended when it decided to give you the capacity for anger

and its just as valid as joy and sadness and, gasp! sex :)
