I am bipolar, and currently I have no support?

Asked by Shippy (10015points) June 2nd, 2012

Trust me, I wouldn’t choose a site or a forum in order to get the help I need. In an ideal world I would have a psychologist I could visit, a few supportive family members, a good psychiatrist, and a support group. In fact I hate writing things like this, because I always get told, you need help. The fact is I can’t afford help. I have no family members and my anxiety is so bad I cannot get to a support group. I know here there are also sufferers of depression. Are there other methods that help, where you don’t have to “pay”?

Lately every attempt I have made has turned to zero. When I say lately it is in the past year or so. I realize that I am suffering and without support I only have “me”. This is hard when I feel I cannot think evenly I cannot at times make rational decisions. Where do I start, if I only have me? I did have a psychiatrist when I was employed. Where I live you cannot get help unless you pay. I cannot pay. I am currently wondering how to pay my lights account.

My question is, is there anywhere online I can get assistance for free? A support group or anything? How can I help myself on a day to day basis? Better living habits anything I am desperate. I will try anything. Currently I am suffering so badly with depression and anxiety. I am turning more and more people away from me. I turn to the net for support or escape but even that does not help me. I really hope this question made sense and I really need some wisdom, and would appreciate it greatly.
