where is help

[llama]

I feel like I have always been looking for help. But does it exist, nothing seems to work, well maybe for a few months. I always return to this depressed person. Is this just really who I am? If this is who I really am, should i even be trying to change it?

Hi, llama,
If you're posting here, you haven't given up... that's a good start! I can't answer your question "where is help?" I believe it is different for everyone. It took some time, but I have found some comfort being able to come here and know that someone is reading what I have to say. I have also been to a professional counselor and more recently a medical doctor - the counselor convinced me that my chemicals were so out of whack that medication (not my favorite route) would help me just get through the worst so that I could focus and deal with my stuff on a more even keel. I hate to admit it, but while I am still overwhelmed with sadness at times, I do believe that I have benefitted from the combination of all of these things. I know many of the people who post here are available in chat rooms pretty regularly - chatting doesn't work for me - but I keep up with e-mail, and thus responses, throughout the day.
Take care!

-M

Welcome and thank you for sharing. There are many that feel as you do. Talking in the chat room, making friends and receiving support has been a life saver for me. Hope you will come in some time.

We don't have the answer, but we do have the love to give in supporting each other.
