Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I`m is desperate for help. If you live in the metro Detroit area please respond to this post. I would like to go to DBSA meetings or hang out in club houses in warren or mt. clemens. My license is revoked and I can`t seem to get the help I need. If I can`t get out of bed and move from a trailor so cluttered its like living in a garbage dump. I pray to GOD for help. God told me that only a person with faith in GOD can help me or the blood clot in my leg will kill me in a year. If I die from a blood clot at least it won`t be suicide.I believe suicide could result in eterniy of HELL. So if anybody can help me God bless you!!!

When I was in partial inpatient in Me. Clemens they gave me a list of clubhouses in Macomb county,. There isone in warren and one on hall road. Plus there is DBSA group meetings at St. Johns in warren and Henry Ford in Mt. Clemens. I have been thinking of going back inpatient. I smoke and I`m not sure I can find a place that still lets patients smoke. I gonna call Harbor Oaks and Havenwick to see if they still let patients smoke outside. If not St. Johns has a good partial program. I was there last year.

My daughter was hospitalized briefly where they did not allow smoking, but they did give patients the option of using the nicotine patches or a cigarette-shaped inhaler that had nicotine.

The hospitals I was in either had the patch or the gum. I wish I could have got the inhaler cause it is probably the closest wat to get nicotine like smoking. I feel borderline between in patient and a partial program. Partial is usually 5 hours a day and you can go outside between groups.

Inpatient might be better because you have people who could help you all the time, and you would be in an environment that isn't as stressful as living at home. They might also be able to help you make other living arrangements for after you're discharged, and maybe get help for your brother too.

i was already inpatient for 5 days after a calculated overdose of 5mg of xanax 15beers and 50mg of ambien. I got out 7/3/9. I went into partial patient for 2 weeks. At least in partial you can smoke between groups and lunch. I`m still just as depressed as before 3 weeks of treatment. I don`t have a pdoc. I go to my family doctor for all my meds. 2 years ago when I was pschzoaffective a pdoc in the hospital almost killed me with 180mg geodon lithium and haladol. I spent 4 days in a regular hospital. It took 1.5 gallons of saline to flush those drugs out of my system. Ever since I don`t trust pdocs from india. The latest 5 days I was stuck with the same Indian who almost killed me 2 years ago. My regular doctor can prescribe me the med I need. I trust my doctor. I do need to find therapy even if its a DBSA meeting or a clubhouse. I don`t have a driver liscinse and Michigans screwed up laws I need $3000 to get one. I want to go to meeting and club houses but if I can`t drive I can`t go. Thus the reason for the original post of DS friends in Detroit. Hoping and praying somebody could drive me to the places I need to get help.
