Depressed and not sure how to get out?!
Question: Depressed and not sure how to get out.?
i'm getting more and more depressed every day. logically i know i should see a therapist but i can't afford it. i don't have any close friends i can unload on. i can't go to my family because part of the problem is there. i'm the black sheep in my family. i was dealt a bad hand in life and until recently i've been able to deal with it. i was raped and my own mother believes i'm used now and says i should never discuss it in any future relationships. i'm in my early 30s and don't feel a connection with anyone in my life. if i even start talking about my problems i start to cry. i've spent the last few months researching different methods of suicide. i know death isn't easy but i feel like it's the best thing for me. i haven't been able to do it and it scares me that i'll never be able to do it and put myself out of the misery i'm feeling. i know people are going to say time heals all wounds, but my wounds keep reopening every few years. i need this to end.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
I wish I could just give you a hug right now. Honestly, I don't know what to say about your situation. Death really shouldn't be in your mind though. Like everyone says, It doesn't solve anything.
It's your choice to decide what to do, but I think you should visit your local church and talk to the priest or pastor about your issue. Maybe all you need is a touch from God.
EDIT: So... because of your religion... you can't go to someone who may be able to help you.? That's nice.Health Question & Answer

I have been in your shoes many times, my kids keep me living. It would be awful for them. I have been thru terrible things in my life as well and time does help but its always there. I know have a grand baby boy and he does bring me joy. I'm only 38 so got on early. I would be glad to be your friend and listen anytime. I can't work anymore because of the depression and anxiety attacks and major migraines so please know i am here.Health Question & Answer
Talk to someone. Maybe a priest, or rabbi or nun or minister or SOMEONE. You need someone to help you through this. What has happened to you is not your fault and you can make it through this. You're right in saying that it needs to end, and you need closure and you need to move past this. Death is NOT the answer.Health Question & Answer

Go to the ER tell them your thinking of hurting your selfHealth Question & Answer
You have to deal with what happened to you or it will keep resurfacing. Your mind can only ignore things for so long then it needs to break free. There are usually local mental agencies that have a sliding fee scale based on income. I started counseling a couple months ago and have cried for hours on end, days at a time. My therapist says that is good and that is my bodys way of relieving some of the anxiety I have been having. Now I have been crying less and less. I finally realized it was ok to cry and just let it all out.Health Question & Answer
