talk to us

just read the journal entry, it's long but it explains exactly how i feel. if it makes any sense.

i'll try my best because these are true hearted people and they have been trying to help me for a few hours now. if i can't help listen to these people they are of sound advise!!!!!!!!

what is going on jenn? Maybe we can help you sort things out and make you feel better.

i've been trying to change my attitude and get over my depression with meds and journaling and relaxation techniques. but none of it is working. my bf broke up w/ me bcuz of my depression so i've been trying to show him i really am changing, but yesterday he got mad at me and i was concerned and i called him a couple times at work and then went and saw him. he says i'm smothering him but he's the only person i can talk to about my depression. i have nowhere to go no and noone to turn to. he told me to find someone else to talk to it about and i told him there is no one else and he basically told me too bad because he's not listening anymore. i don't blame him but now where am I? i basically just had a breakdown and need HELP! i want to be admitted somewhere so i can get my life in order and so i don't end up killing myself. i need help and can't get it.

you are a beautiful girl and so young don't let one man hold you down. he seems more concerned about himself than you.

well can u blame him? i mean he's 21 trying to have fun in life. he does care about me but is unsure about my depression. he doesn't want to deal with depression because it's not his deal. but it's my deal and i just want to know how to get over it so i can get on with my life!

do you have any true friends or family

no i pushed them all away. plus, it seems like the ones i thought i had don't care about depression. idk... i'm going to try and find a therapist. i will work my ass off to afford it if it's what i have to do.

Jenn,

I use to live in Iowa. You can message me and I can help you locate hospitals near you. I know there are many state wide that accept people with no insurance. In Iowa they can file what are called State Psychiatric Papers which basically means the state picks up the bill. Anyway send me a message if you like and I will be glad to help you.

I've commented on your journal. Keep fighting honey.x

you think depression isn't his deal? Do you know how many people i've driven nuts not just in here but i have almost all medical, law enforcement, friends, family, etc scarred because of me. I don't know why or how i got to be so well know in my area, but i still have all these people trying because they love me, if one guy doesn't love you look right in this sight. I'm straight and i have women along with men telling me that they love me! and that is genuine. there probably are people that will pray on you being single but i feel you have enough intelligence to pick them out

If you want to go to a hospital..all you need to do is walk in the emergency room and tell them how you are feeling. they will take it from there and you can get the help you need. You could also call a crisis unit and speak to someone there. You are among others who feel as badly as you. Others who have to take one day at a time and sometimes one second at a time. You have people to talk to now.

There are therapists that work with you on a sliding scale...the first thing to do is look in the phone book and see which ones you can get to...and then call them and see whether or not they take clients on a sliding scale. That means, they charge you according to your income. Your local county human resources should also have counseling at very low cost, but personally I have had much better help from private ones.

If you are in crisis now, and need immediate help, you can call 911, go to your nearest ER, or call a 1-800# suicide rprevention hotline that you should be able to find in the front of your local phone book, or at the bottom of every DS page in the blue area, with the "crisis hotlines" link.
