I feel alone

I want to cry but the tears dont come. I want to give up on my goals because it is just so difficult to function as a human with anxiety. I cant afford a therapist. What are you even suppose to do. I feel like a mess.

I'm sorry honey....it's a really screwed up system that does not afford healthcare for those who really need it. But don't give up....seriously do some on-line searching for clinics that have sliding scale pay...pay what you can afford type thing. Look everywhere till you find something that will work for you and help. I found a clinic that had graduated therapists working on their hours for their licence, it's like 1000 hours so they are usually around for a while. I've heard other members talk about NAMA....

Don't give up....as hard as some of these days are....keep sharing, it helps to write some of this stuff down...these people here understand...and they are kind.

MelodyAlice1,

There are agencies out there in most states, search under State of ________. Sometimes if you can call one place they’ll refer you to a place that offers a sliding scale. I see a therapist with a sliding scale. Or if you want to PM me I can search in your state.

Wishing you the best. 🌸🌸😁😁

Alright so I know that it might be completely impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel and I know you feel alone, but you are not. What you expressed in this post is exactly how I feel and have felt for a long time. I am just starting to be able to be more aware of my anxiety and my pain in order to combat it. If you can’t afford a therapist, you can talk to anyone on this board, you can message me and I will give you my phone number and we can both support each other. I am here for you, you are not alone. Just remember that you’ve only got one life and just think about all the experiences you would like to have. Also I’ve found that doing creative things like making gifts for others, writing, playing an instrument, singing etc work for me and also volunteering. I recently signed up to volunteer with dogs at my local animal shelter. Sometimes it’s just the simple fact of distracting yourself from the pain and anxiety until you can minimize it. I am not an expert in any way, these are just all my opinions and personal positive coping mechanisms. Sending you love and support. Again, message me if you want! I mean it, I am always here to listen.

And I’m in no way saying that I’m s replacement for a medical professional, but if a therapist is out of the question just having someone to listen can help.

I understand how you feel, I feel like crying but the tears will not come, I have found a therapist to work with me at a reduced rate, then I often bawl my head off, I get rid of pain and garbage. Do go online see if you can find a support group that is free. There is one near my house I used to go to, but now the anxiety is so bad I cannot drive, I will go again once that clears up.

Try Social Services in your area, they may know of help, check with the United Way, they are an info. group. If you are well enough, search on line for anything and everything. Look in the Yellow Pages in your telephone book, it may have some listings. Sorry I took so long to get back to you, hope this is of help. And come here to us, we will reach out to you and support you. Sending Love & Healing Energy. Sprinkle 1 xx

You can google to see if there are any support groups for depression in your area. They are typically peer led; no mental health professionals attend the meeting. I find them helpful. People share whatever is on their mind or just listen. They are usually free.
