desperate for help

[HaBeBe7]

Can someone please offer some advice? I need to get my life back. I feel utterly hopeless. I live in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area of Texas. I need immediate help with my mental health but have no income and no insurance ( I live with my partner who makes barely enough money to get by..) I have considered just going to the ER ( I've been trying to get an appointment with a psychiatrist- ANY psychiatrist - for almost a year and I can't even get a call back ) It's a struggle to get through the day without thinking about suicide as an option. The only reason I haven't gone to the ER yet is because I will NEVER be able to pay for the bill.

Me to maybe we can figure it out something I had everything now I'm broke but I still have faith my heart is 💔 but there is always a way my problem is asking for help and be emberesed that I was somebody I isolated from everybody and sometimes it is true to talk to strangers who can understand you not tell you go to sic I can't help you those are not real friends . I m here if you need me because I do ,,,

Thank you for your response/support. I try SO hard to get through the day and keep the hope alive that "this is just a bad period" I'm going through. The isolation is getting to me. I keep having these destructive thoughts ( bc it's true too ) that if I died NO ONE would even know or care. My partner is the only person I interact with day to day. I know this is so unhealthy. I WANT to get better but having no money/no insurance makes getting professional help impossible in the state I currently live in. I'm willing to leave my partner ( who I do love ) and my pets just to move back to my home state where I know I could receive help. I would be completely alone and homeless but what else am I supposed to do at this point? I've tried and TRIED to reach out and get help here - but it's just not available bc I'm poor, uninsured and a woman w/ no children. I know I can't keep "living" my life like this. It's been the worst 3 years of my life. Everyday I ask myself, " how did I let myself get THIS bad?" I wish this was just something I could "snap out of" and I could at least go out & get a job to improve my life. Another major hinderance is I am ASHAMED of my bad teeth ( missing the ones in the front bc I smashed my face into the pavement during a seizure about 5 years ago ) I would give / do ANYTHING just to have my smile back. I don't like to interact with anyone anymore because I can barely speak correctly. It's disheartening and humiliating.

Are you on Medicaid? If not, you should look into it. There is also Charity Care in Dallas (Googled). Also, I suggest that you contact Catholic Charities in Dallas at 8662237500. Finally, I suggest you also contact Mr Marty Thompson at 239-273-8231. He leads a Catholic In Recovery group in the Dallas/FW area. He can guide you in finding assistance. Peace.
