Without a therapist or support system

It's been a difficult few months and I'm going though a bad wave of depression. Unfortunately now too the therapist I have been seeing the past few years just recently left my town's local practice and for the time being I'm on my own. Due to other bad circumstances my family cant really help for the time being and me, being a shut-in for medical reasons, am alone with little human contact most of the time. Are there any resources online to talk to someone or help to find resources?

hey I understand how you are feeling I have been really struggling with depression alot recently as well and I have been through like 5 different therapists I just got a new one like a month ago before that I felt alone all of the time and I still feel alone when I don’t see a therapist it’s not easy I am here for you if you need a friend or just someone to talk to

Thank you. Where I live therapy (much less a good therapist) is hard to find and they tend to move on after a few years. I've been going though it and years without treatment aside form meds since I was a kid but had an actually good system and proper evaluation and adjustments for a few years now. My therapist just had to go at the worst possible time, not just a depression flare after years but recovering from covid-19, three family deaths and another family member needing 24/7 care for a few weeks after a near death accident, I'm home alone 90% time. Trying to get tings done myself but have bad panic/depression spells when I try to put things down on paper. It's just really overwhelming.

Hi Sombra_0 I’m the same, have little contact with people & certain ones trigger me so like to be left alone. However gets lonely & depressing. Feel free to reach out.

A little update, I hope I'm doing this right, but just wanted to say thank you for the kindness everyone. I was able to get in touch with the NP in charge of my case and got meds adjusted and going to set me up with a therapist at another location till we can get one local again. Might take a little while but it is a huge relief.
