Hi. I never did this before; just open up to a total stranger online for everyone to see. But at this moment in time, I'm in a huge rutt and could use some advice or anything helpful. Not to mention, nobody really knows who I am on here so I guess this is okay.


First off, I think this is a great idea, having a site like this for people to come and find answers. Thanks.


Ok. I'm sort of all over the place here, please bear with me for a moment.


I'm a 29 year old female to start off.


My question? I was wondering what people are supposed to do when they don't have money to get the help they need? I mean, I have been battling within myself for almost two decades and I am coming to realize more and more as days pass, that

Ok. I just realized I wrote this under relationship questions. Well, everything I wrote above is effecting my relationship in a big negative way. So I don't know if it counts but it does involve relationships. I hope I didn't screw the board up. Sorry if I did.

Welcome to the board flipflop1,


Wow it really seems to be a struggle for you to get help. It shouldn't be that way.


Here are my thoughts on some things that might be able to help you. Try going to AA or NA for your substance abuse problems. Both of them are free. Also I know here that our local health agency provides services for free or on a sliding scale based on your income. If you just use your income you should be able to get free services from them and they might be able to point you to therapists to do the same. Also try contacting local service agencies to see if they have any advice for you.


Good luck. I hope you are able to find some assistance.
