An inpatient stay can be really helpful. It's a good way to get stabilized on medications, get intensive therapy, and it's a safe place to be unwell. It's also beneficial in the sense that you don't have to keep up with daily life - no cooking, cleaning, work, etc...all those things are taken care of and all you have to do is focus on your emotional recovery.

Wishing you peace <3

thank you--I am actively looking for a place I can stay in northern California

Are you currently seeing a doctor for your depression? Your doctor can also make a referral for inpatient therapy. Wishing you serenity and peace.

I hope to speak to a doctor on Monday....I am being absolutely crushed by this..thank you

I'm not going to tell you not to go to a facility. But in terms of dealing with this. Don't be to hard on yourself, if you were working for 9 years, then economic reasons contributed to your job loss. Determine priorities. Get familiar with laws protecting consumers.

Realize you're just one of a number of people facing challenges and its not your fault.

Losing my Job has helped me spiral down a path of lies,porn and financial ruin which will lead to my divorce --I am on a slope careening towards rock bottom
and this is becoming the biggest challenge of my life

I've found the right thread. I'm on a downward spiral with shame fueled lying at the heart of it. It has always been a problem for me, but these past several months have forced this issue out into the open. My marriage is really rocky right now. I'll be moving out for at least a few months. I want to get a grip on this finally. I feel like lies and misrepresentation have been my booze, the addiction in my life. I often don't even know I'm doing it until I'm doing it.

I'm very interested in Zoom meetings where we can talk together about these things.

so would I --I got kicked out yesterday and am staying with my sister--can anyone set up a meeting?
