Idk what to do....I’m lost.

[addy_athena]

I’m lost. I am running out of hope and faith in myself. I got so excited because I had an interview which I think went well and they said they would contact me tomorrow (as In today) and it’s almost 5pm and I haven’t heard anything. I woke up with hope and happiness for the first time in a long time. And now it’s slowing going down the drain.

I feel like my depression is getting worse so I decided to see if there were any support group in my area. I couldn’t find any. I want to get help and see a professional but I don’t have money to pay for it. Not sure if I still have insurance or not...honestly I don’t know how it’s works.

So a week ago I signed up for an app called better help...I was hoping I could get free online mental health therapy. I was denied because they said I should see a real therapist face to face due to my results or their initial questionnaire.

I have a suggestion. I run several small chatlines within this forum. They are small groups of 10 to 15 people and they function as support groups/extended families for their members. I am launching chatline 4 called, 'Circle Of Friends 4'. Would you like to join? You would member #9 of that chatline. Our chaltines are on my pm for better security and more privacy. Only you and your fellow chatline members can see what you are writing/chatting about. It is completely free, open 24/7 and may be utilized anytime someone is available to talk to you or you to them. It's easy to join. If you say yes, I just add your username and presto! You're in. What say you?

[Angry101 in reply to JEG325]

I can’t remember if I’ve ask to join you yet, ( that’s really not unusual since I can’t remember anything, lol) I would like to, I’m not sure how to find your group. I’m not tech savvy, lol

[JEG325 in reply to Angry101]

Don't worry, I forget things myself. Including who I ask to join. You're in. All I have to do is add your username to Circle Of Friends 4 and as soon as someone is talking your chat button will light up. Just tap it and it will take you to the sight. Type in a response and hit the blue send button. Then ypu'll be in business!

[JEG325]

You can also talk to me whenever you need it too. Okay?

[SmilesLots]

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. You may still get the job - they may have had a busy day and not had time to call.

For a support group have you tried meetup.com? They have emotional support and anxiety groups that meet in my area. Just type in your zip code and a key word and find out.

[JEG325 in reply to SmilesLots]

Good advice. I will pass that along to my friends too. Thx.

[SmilesLots in reply to JEG325]

I just found this site that offers support group meeting worldwide:

emotionsanonymous.org/

They also offer regular skype, phone and chat meetings

I hope this helps!

[JEG325 in reply to SmilesLots]

Cool, I'll try it out. Btw, if you want to join Circle Of Friends 4, my latest chatline, you are more than welcome!

[SmilesLots in reply to JEG325]

Yes, can you private message me with the instructions and what it's about?

[JEG325 in reply to SmilesLots]

Yep. Very busy right now. But, I'll get back to you asap!

[RoseFleur]

Addy- sorry you are feeling this way. SmilesLots suggested support groups- I want to go to the ones local to me, but I’m too afraid because it’s in someone’s apartment and it gives me anxiety thanks

[JEG325 in reply to RoseFleur]

You can join my new chatline too. Chatline 4 has just 7 people. it needs 5 more. You can talk to anyone who's available for free 24/7. All I have to do is add your username. What say you?

[RoseFleur in reply to JEG325]

Thank you- I want to say yes but I’m too anxious

[JEG325 in reply to RoseFleur]

I could add your username anyway and you can read the conversationsas they occur and decide if you wanna join in. What do you think?

[RoseFleur in reply to JEG325]

Okay thanks

[JEG325 in reply to RoseFleur]

Chatline 4 now has 17 people on it. I will put you on chatline 2B- You will be member #15 there. Okay? It is more active and you'll have more conversations to check out. Have a blessed day, my friend! PS: Circle Of Friends 5 is now forming. I will add you there too. But, it will not launch for several more days yet. Have a blessed day, my friend!

[RoseFleur in reply to JEG325]

Thank you, you too!

[SmilesLots in reply to RoseFleur]

Hi addy_athena I am currently unemployed too and got rejected yesterday so I can understand where you are at now. Sending a hug your way.

[Angry101]

First of all,glad to meet you. I’m sorry about how anxious you must be. Things always have a way to turn things around. Don’t worry about your faith in yourself, put all your faith in God. He has brought me through a suicide attempt, something I should have never lived through. On life support for a month. Doctors said I wouldn’t make it through the night. I lasted 30 days. That’s where I got my miracle. I’m here to tell you,he has one for you too. There are better days ahead for you. I believe that.

[chinaandback in reply to Angry101]

Yes, I agree! So happy you put your faith in God and survived a suicide attempt! I learned years ago when I was suffering from anxiety that there was no way I could do it on my own and had to give it all to God. He took it all and I also came out on the other side! My anxiety is completely gone now. addy_athena I hope you are having a better day today. I had lost my job last Feb and was interviewing for months until I got the perfect job for me in Sept! It isn't full-time like I had been interviewing for, but is 3 days per week, paid lunches, working with great, friendly people, and it allows me time to attend college full-time and do other small jobs that help me earn extra income. I am so thankful and give God all the glory for always providing for me and my daughter! Like Angry101 I believe there are better days ahead for you. (((hugs)))

[Angry101 in reply to chinaandback]

Thanks so much for replying. I’m so proud tp talk to you. If I didn’t have faith, I couldn’t make it. Some days I can’t feel God, I can’t here him, but I know he’s here, because he promised that through the scriptures. Please continue to pray for me and you know I’m praying for you. Let’s keep talking, love to hear what you say. You lift my spirits. Thank you for being there, don’t you believe one second that its by coincidence.

This has happened to a friend of mine as well . Don’t feel bad . Continue looking somewhere else

[suzzze]

Yea therapy is costly and time consuming. That’s why I haven’t gone either. I also get really nervous and don’t know how to express myself in person. But is there anyone in ur personal life maybe that u can vent with? These posts are a great start to venting!
