Depressed in Texas

[GENGR]

Hello everyone. Looking for any helpful ways to get affordable counseling or any other ideas for depression. I reside in Texas...

Have you read any books lately? Do you have any friends you can talk to about your situation? Find something you love to do and just dive into it with all you have!

I have friends but I never want to be a burden so I don't reach out much. I get real reclusive and I heard that isn't good but it's all I know to do...

Welcome to the forum. Have you tried googling support groups in your area? There is one just about everyday in my area and they are free.

I tried googling and that is how I found this nice forum and thank you for the welcome by the way. I guess it will take some more perusing to find the free ones I believe but I guess I have nothing but time...

I googled depression support groups and the ones that I found are for bipolar and depression. They meet in hospitals and churches. There are no professionals in these groups, just fellow people with similar struggles. People talk about what they are going through and discuss medications. You don't have to share if you don't want to.

Well I'm more on a professional input path I believe. I guess that is where the paying part comes in huh?
