I am in Florida,,,I must have done something really terrible to wind up stuck down here...I am searching for a support network or just supportive people to be an ear and suppliment the support people I have online...I feel pretty cut off from the people that I encounter down here...the culture is very unsympathetic to persons in my situation or at least I think so,,,

I am suffering from depression and have some resources to help me through this,,,it is difficult though with no insurance and no way to get professional help,,but I am trying...I wish I could relocate to Europe or Canada...

Bless your heart, I IKNOW the depth of despair that depression can cause. I suffered with it alooooong time myself, fortunately I am on the healing side of it now. I hope you have applied for disability or ssi or whatever you may be eligible for. There is hope and healing, I have a couple of sort of friends that are bipolar, one takes his meds and works to find positive ways to spend his time and he is doing very well, the other unfortunately uses drugs and alcohol and is miserable. Anyway there is hope and healing. WELCOME

Hi, I can really relate to what you are saying. I have mental illness to and I use to live in FL. I really didn't care for the system they have for treating people with mental illness at all. I know what it is like to not have insurance and to have to get treatment for mental illness in FL. I found the treatment when you are uninsured to be awful and very insensitive. I was actually treated like a criminal when I was being treated for mental health in FL without insurance.

I do know what it is like to get treatment for mental health in FL when you have insurance though it is really nice and a completely different ballgame. I think it is wrong that they treat people without insurance so poorly. I use to live in South FL I can refer you to a good place for mental health treatment that is very low cost a place that I went to if you are in that area. I am here for you any time you want to talk just send me a message. I wish you all the best. Hugs...Art

I am in Florida also although the other coast. But I struggle with finding a good support system which is why i recently joined Daily Strength and it is helping given that I didn't have much of a support system. Hope your situation gets better and stay in touch if you need to talk.

You sound so much like myself. I wish I could pack up and move as well. The only thing stopping me is money and family
