How can I help? You need to stay strong in all of this. It seems that you've had a horrible past. Are you getting any outside help? Meds? Counselling?

Have you thought about them? I know some people dont want to go down the road of meds. But maybe the counselling? I know DS can only do so much. You are obviously hurting so much and have for so long. We are all here to support you but sometimes its not enough and you need outside help.
Jennheimrich

Oh hun, im so sorry. Is there no way for you to get to someone to talk to. Do you want to talk to counsellor or try the meds? I think a counsellor would be great. I know there are free support groups out there. What do you do? Are you studying? I know there are free counselling services at school. But if not there are also free ones available. I just need to search them out. And as for transport the bus isnt that much so maybe try to find something on the direct line that you are on. Otherwise hun, id suggest going to your local doctor or hospital. Over here they provide a free service and you can get meds. You've had such a bad past and I really want the best for you in the future. Can you think about doing any of these things?
