Never-ending pain and sadness

[Skjones]

I can't get out of this hole I'm so down. I feel unloved, unneeded, alone empty like I don't want to be alive I find happiness in nothing. Like my life is nothingness I can't get help cause I can't afford it I have a good paying job but with bills and debt I do t qualify because they say I make too much and even the sliding scale is against me meds only do so much I keep researching techniques but nothing is helping.

I can relate to how you are feeling, believe me. And the frustration with trying to get help and not being able to. I am low income and have Medicaid and Medicare and the Medicare is preventing me from getting therapy which I think would be helpful. So I started digging around online and found an actual real and truly free therapy program. The only problem is, the program is only an 8 weeks program. Its completely online and it's at your own pace. They give you weekly homework as well as tools and techniques to try to help you cope with life when you have any type of imbalance. I just wanted to share this with you. I just did my first session so I can't tell you how little or how much it helps but I'm desperate and decided it can't hurt to try it. Google " CIMHS" and it will give you the information you need to get started. I believe the program is called Bliss.

I understand you completely! I’ve been feeling the same for quite some time but I try my best to remind myself that everything is going to be okay! Part of my anxiety also comes from medication and trying to solve everyone’s problems but mines. I am in a relationship but sometimes it feels like I’m still alone. Is okay to feel sad but remember you have so much to give and think of the things you do have rather than the things you wish to have. A lot of times it takes only a glimpse of someone else’s life that might be going through more difficult times to realize how good we have it!

Wish you the best! Take care!

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear how you're feeling. I need medicines because when my bipolar runs in the low, I get super depressed. When I was off medication, I was depressed every day and I found myself worthless. I hated life. Today, it's not as bad. I still have bad days, but journaling and saying prayers every day have helped me a lot. It's helped me a lot to release the pain. I hope I helped in someway. If not, just know I send you encouragement, prayers, and hope.

You might see what free or affordable mental health services are available through your local County Health office. Due to the ramifications of covid more services have been provided to the public because more people are dealing with anxiety/depression.

I can sense your absolute frustration. Sometimes a lot of things seem to boil down to do you have the money to afford it??? And if you don’t, you don’t. I believe sometimes you can learn as much by reading a good book about ways to treat depression and anxiety than pouring a bunch of money into seeing a therapist once a week.
