Say insurance won't pay or you don't have insurance. Are there any places that offer free counseling services for depression in the Harrison, AR (72601) area?

I don't live on an army base, or even close to one.

basically trashing your character, spreading falseties, and lies about you. portraying you to be a sad character, who is to be pittied and who lies?

how can i fight againnst that?

iam 30 years old, struggling to get well from BPD, and i really dont desrve this character assasination.

how can i live this down?
i can't give into anger, because then they label me as an ''agressive lunatic''.
but i feel alienated because of this, ive had a traumatic life, and trust very few people because of this.

i came here at 7 from france, and i feel very bitter and angry towards the brits, because its them and their system whos put me through this

On Thur. I was working and all of a sudden this extreme lightheaded feeling came over me. I could not see normal, (the things I look at do not seem to be real, it's like I am traped in a box and can only see what is right in front of me, and I am so far away from those objects). I have become extremly weak and very forgetfull. It's like when I am driveing down the road I do not know whats going on or remember what time it is. I have trouble remembering what day it is. And wherever I am, I have trouble rembering how I got there. It is like I am haveing an out of the body experience where I dont even feel alive nor can feel any emotions. Like I am dead, Everything in front of me is black, like a black sheet or vail or cloud has covered my head and eye sight, yet I can still see, and everything seems to be closeing in on me. I am a Christian and have always been happy. I wen't to the Hospotal but the doct. could not find anything wrong with me. I live on my own and dont know what to do?

Everyone suggests that my son get involved in an extracurricular activity. He has ADHD, and we tend to want to put him in a sport to use some of his excess energy in a positive way. He doesn't show much interest in any though, he is not yet 7 years old. Should we just pick one and make him try it? He has tried team sports in the past without much luck.

It has helped my depression, but a year into fluctuating dosages( on my own I lower it thinking it will help the weight gain) I am at least 15 pounds overweight. I have been thin my whole life, a speedy metabolism, now at 29 i have huge thighs and a butt, and bad cellulite I never had. I am so disgusted. I have been staying away from junk, not eating too much, exercising, cardio, drinking water! I read someplace that effexor cripples the metabolism, and is bad on the liver in the long run. How is depression going to be helped with the secondary complication of being fat, overnight? My doctor denies it's the drug, but I know it is. I CANNOT lose one single pound. it is glued onto me. I also take klonopin, but I heard klonopin( i am on a low dose) for insomnia and anxiet can help you lose weight. I am at my wits end. As I write this, I am busting out of my pants. I want to quit cold turkey, but I know the withdrawal is no joke... any other antidepressants that don't make you get fat?

My parents have been married for years but have always had problems together. They just were completley different people I guess and got married very young. For the most part though they always seemed very happy and content with their lives.
I think that my dad might have some serious mental health problems. I haven't talked to him about it yet but even if I do he probably won't listen to me.I think he may be Bipolar. The reason is because he has a lot of the symptoms and it ran in his mother's side of the family.I know some of his aunts and uncles had it as well. And since it is a genetic thing I think he needs to get some help.He used to be a very funny guy, always made me laugh and smile. Now,I just want him to move it and leave everyone alone sometimes.He acts depressed one minute and can become the happiest person alive the next. Not to mention the fact that he was always great at this job and always worked hard(at least that is what I thought) well his boss didn't give him a very good review at work.He doesn't do much either.(I mean I know some guys are like this but this is quite different) he watchs tv,rents a movie everyday,walks his dog, and thats really about it besides work I'd say.He's lucky my mom hasn't left him already.
What can I do about helping him out and finding someone to possibly dignose him? It's quite obvious that he has some major problems,it's completley abnormal and he has so many symptoms and is only 43 years old.

they mock, belittle, and attack your character to others, tarnishing you as a person your not, rubbishing your character, defaming you.
this is really distressing to me, as i am a vunerable 30 year old bpd sufferer who is trying to work on my issues and achieve my goals in life, without all this happening.
i'm hoping for some advise. thanks

"
Depression...what a handy bs word to give an excuse for LAZY!! You want a reason to get out of bed and do your JOB which I suppose entails that you go to class? Think of being a single mom on MY tax $,stupid and unproductive to the society that houses and clothes you and your bast**d children. Because no man would have genuine respect for a welfare queen.THERE'S your reason girlie...there are plenty of reasons to quit your damn crying and get your lazy a** on track.Take some of that weepy energy you have and imagine yourself as I described,do you not want better than your mother?...bet she's a welfare queen and so you think that's how the world works...how sad. Get up b***h !"

***& why did he just ASSUME I was on welfare & had kids? I don't have any kids, & neither am I on welfare. I'm just very depressed. Depression is a serious mental illness.

What is the best thing to do after having a 'breakdown'. I had accelerated thoughts and severe depression for a few days the worst ever for me. What should I do now? Everything seems surreal and thinking and doing seem almost impossible.

I just got out of a very commited relationship with someone that broke my heart. It's been 3 months, and I'm still grieving. We were suppose to get married last Saturday, but I broke things off with him because he wasn't supportive during a family trauma. I am finding it hard to trust in another person that asked to be with me. I met him shortly before I broke it off with my ex during the time my family went through trauma, and he was there for us. We have a lot in common, which I find really surprising, but I don't feel any romantic interest for him and he's already said that he's in love with me and sees a future with me. I appreciate he's been there for me and my family so I've already said I am interested. But I think I spoke too soon. I'm scared because I've had my trust shattered. But I also feel like I have a responsibility to be with him, and I know that's not a healthy relationship. How do I break things off with him? I don't want to tell him I've had suicidal thoughs.
