If you can't see a therapist because of lack of funds, try a community mental health center. They usually have a sliding fee structure and base it on your ability to pay, if you truly aren't able to pay, they won't charge you anything. But run - don't walk - to a therapist - you sound like you have some pretty serious depression!Quote:

I want to thank everyone, having a shoulder to cry on did make the difference. I went to 3 interviews last week. Talked to a social worker. and tried to gather myself. I'm feeling much better but my situation has not changed. The worker has found me a place to work day by day, a temp place, they employ homeless and imagrants, etc. This is what my life has come down to, I guess. I'm going to see them on Tue to register, I hope for the best :o . I did my first DJ gig last week also, it went really well. They were very happy and are referring me to to a few friends whom toss a lot of parties. The gig only paid $30, but it was worth the advertising I got. After 30min of play time the cops showed up and said turn it down or else. So we had a quit party, mostly:devil:
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone whom didn't let me fall this past horriable month. I'm truely not alone, and know this :hugs:
I am so very happy that things are starting to look upwards. Hang in there Katie. We are all hoping for nothing but the best for you.:thumbsup:
Keep us posted...
:love:

That is wonderful! (yea!)
You have begun to make progress, don't stop now. Have you considered going back to school? Given your financial situation, there are all kinds of funding opportunities, loans, etc.
If you work really hard, you can build your life into something beautiful. You must think large, and work hard, but you can have an ideal life, hon.
Yay, Katie, way to go! The ball is rolling now, and it is not going downhill. Keep a positive attitude and the world will soon be at your feet. Love and hugs
The Bible tells us that blessed men go through valleys, it is not what we might have done or because we deserve it, it is just a condition of being human. Even the most blessed of men while they were still blessed went through valleys.
What we need to do while we are in the valleys: 1)do not set aside the things we know are true about our being blessed, 2) being thankful for what we know is true in spite of the fact we are in a valley, and lastly 3) realize that when we do get out of the valley if we've done the first two things is it will now become a well of strength from which we can draw from in the future.
God will call you out of the valley you're in at just exactly the right point, until then remain faithful to what is true and everything will be alright in the end.
Blessings,
Celeste
[SIZE=3]Let me first say that I know that your problems seem insurmountable, but they are really not. I know this from personal experience; been there, done it, go the tee shirt. I think we all go through incredible trying times once in our life that tests our resolve and unfortunately for you, it’s you turn.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Very few people know this story about me. I am telling you so that you know that you are not alone. (There is more but I am purposely keeping it short, here are the highlights)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]For about 5 years I dealt with my parents, my best friends and my wife’s failing health and it ran me down. In 2003, my father died in February, my friend in August (On my Birthday), my Mother in September and my Wife I buried the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. And because I was spending so much time with these problems, I lost my business as well. Keep in mind here that I am not OLD, my test started when I was 43.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I was a useless burned out zombie for months after that and here is how I got past it. I needed to take control, make a plan and get some help. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Go and see a Priest or Minister for consoling, they will be happy to help, they helped me get my head straight. Go to the Doctor and get some Anti-Depressants for the short term to help you cope.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Get you kids to HELP with your wife, try to make them part of your solution so they are not adding to the problem.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]The bottom line is that you need to take control of this situation. If you don’t take control it will overwhelm you.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]One thing that helped me get through my test is that kept telling myself that no matter how bad things where, there is someone around the corner that has it worse than I do.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I know that I sound a bit cold here but if want to cope you cannot allow yourself the luxury of self-pity, you’re a victim of your situation, find a way to deal with it.[/SIZE]
