Poor baby!! Call the United Way!! They have programs and can get you into some type of program, be it medicaid, or whatever. They also have 24 hour help lines attached to public mental hospitals. (not that you are mental, but you need the psychiatrists! Please call ASAP, so that you can be on the road to recovery soon!! Good luck Kristleann, and I really hope that things work out for you!!

Dear Kristleann, PLEASE call a crisis line immediately. Get into a hospital (they have to take you if you are suicidal). They can connect you with a variety of social services that will help you get the help you need. I have a lot in common with you (PTSD, BiPolar, Major Depressive Disorder) I also have substance abuse and dependence issues. Please read my profile. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Please get help before you are successful at ending your life and causing irrepairable damage to All those who love you. Remember, asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but an expression of incredible courage! Please friend me, private question me and I will give you my phone number. I know you are in incredible pain right now, but there is help out there, I promise. Together we can get through this.

kristleann, we haven't heard back from you girl. Are you ok? How did it go with Medicaid? Some of us have lists of Patient Assistance from the makers of your meds. If you can get the doctors to prescribe for you some of them may be available to you for free if the need is there. Just a thought about you... Mary

I found Zoloft helped me alot. It most definetly did not make everything better, but it helped me not be soooo depressed all the time. I am also bi-polar suffering from super highs and major lows and have been on many meds for bi-polar, that i did not like. I also have pain and still get depressed but the zoloft helped me from attempting suicide again. I have no insurance and that makes it hard to get any help, so I sympathize with you. I sure hope you found help. We all need help, we all need eachother. Best wishes.

Hi I have been living with bipolar/manic depression Ptsd for about 17 years untreated and for the last two years agoraphobia which became even worst when my home was condemed and me and my babies was forced onto the streets. I watched my brother(my world) lifeless body being carried out the house and put into a body bag, shortly after i was put in a foster home due to my mama being on drugs where i was abused emontelllay and mentally, and straved almost to death. Now my life is at its worst i am bearly makeing me thur the days and fear the days to come. I children are hurting and i feel its my fualt. I have been able to take care of myself for a long time without meds that now i dont like to take them and havent for 60 days. i have been trying to get ssi and feel like it is a waste of time, and just want to give up on life Period. So here i am looking for suospport and advice.
