Wow..really?

Is that seriously how this place works? Try to
Get help and my post gets deleted? What a joke, all I wanted was some help and someone to talk to. Ridiculous.

Last night, and all I simply said was I needed someone to talk to because I felt as if I was going to possibly slip back into a 'habit' I once ran to when I was depressed. (hopefully I worded this one right, so it won't be deleted)

I wholeheartely agree with Chartreux. When you have the urges, seek counseling. They can help you stop whatever it is you want to do. And it sounds like it isn't too healthy for you. I am sorry that your post got deleted. I wasn't on last night, but I know that there are rules to be followed, and you did good the second time around. Know that we all care about you here and want to help you. Try to keep your mind busy doing things that you enjoy to do. Try to keep your spirits up. I know you feel hopeless and helpless right now, but this will pass. And counseling would help you tremondously. Just know that we do care.

Hugs, Karen

You aren't hopeless.  Maybe you just haven't found the proper fit.

Here is a site just in case you need it.

Since I didn't see your first post, I am not sure what your issues are.  But if you need more help, I got that site out of the depression resources.  There might be something else that could help you.  It is at the top of the page.

Are you still in school?  Are the counselors school counselors?  Maybe you need somebody more professional like psychotherapy.  I have been through that with a psychologist.  I am also seeing another psychologist now.  If you could see a real psychologist or psycvhotherapist, it might be more help.  But remember, you have to tell them everything or they can't help you.

Keep posting and we will help you as much as we can.  Here are a couple of free sites that might help you too.

I don't know if that will help.  If you are a teen, I have some teen sites that might help you.

Don't ever give up.  And know that we care about you.

At 19 if your in the USA your covered under your parents healthcare plan until your 26
look into that...Sorry about your boyfriend, but you will get into another relationship with
someone your deserve to be with...it'll take time to get over a break up, so give yourself that
time. There's more to live for that you'll to experience in life and it has good things for you...
"Hope" a small word does'nt seem like much, but hold onto hope, things will get better.
Keep us posted as to how your doing, many well wishes...

There are many mental health facilities that operate on what is called a sliding scale. Which means if you don't have any income, you can get in for next to nothing. Have you tried talking to a school counselor? Sometimes they are really helpful. Also did you look at any of the sites that I posted for you? There is also a book that you might want to read called "Feeling Good" By Dr. David Burns. You can get it on Amazon pretty cheap. about six bucks.

Look into these things. You need to be proactive where your mental health is concerned. You have to reach out for help. Coming here was a big step. And we are all glad that you did. But it sounds like you need some professional help. Have you ever tried to get help from the department of social services? You may be qualified for some help from them too.

I wish for you the very best.

Take care,

Karen
