Sea-green... I'm sorry you are so desperate and you have no resources to help yourself. It's a tragedy that those who most need help cannot afford it.

I have heard that some T's will take a patient at very low cost or even free. I suggest you try to contact some therapists in your area and ask them if they see anyone for free or at drastically reduced rate... OR.... if they can refer you to a place where you can find some help. Many T's have connections and resources in the community and would know where you can get the help you need and deserve.

If you PM to Attachment Girl you can gain access to the Sensitive Issues forum and can post more freely about your SU feelings and hopefully receive the support you need.

Please keep fighting and trying to help yourself. As I know you have probably heard, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Please keep in touch with us here.

Sea-green,
Welcome, I'm glad you've reached out here. I wanted to tell you that I volunteer for a crisis hot line and you would not be burdening or making someone uncomfortable to call. That's why they are there, they are trained and its not a burden. It's a free choice they make gladly. I agree with DF, sometimes you can get a mismatch. If you need places to call, there is info in the Crisis resources page.

Just let me know if you want to join the Sensitive Issues forum, and I can do that and if you wish, instead of deleting this thread, I cam move it to that forum.

Also Sea-green, I don't know where you are but if you are in the US, google the name of the county you live in and "social services." Social services in your county should be able to provide you with a referral for free treatment. Some crisis lines can also provide referrels to very low cost or free services in their area.

I wanted to share, that years ago I had a great counselor for free, through social services.

Thinking of you-I didn't read your post, but thinking of you-

Hi sea-green,

So glad you have found somewhere that might suit your circumstances. It's ok to go to counseling when it suits you...even if you go only when you need that extra support - it's good to be able to reach out when you need to.

Nice to see you have posted again

Take care, Faith xx
