She also turns to alchohol whenever she is feeling down, which is more and more often. She comes to me for guidance, but, I am at my wits end! If I had the means, I would pay for her to speak to a professional, but, sadly, that is not the case. She too does not have the financial means to speak to anyone that can help her. It is horrible watching someone you care about self destruct before your very eyes. Does anyone know of any low income or sliding scale resources that I could suggest to her? As, I mentioned earlier, alcohol is a huge problem, but, I think that speaking to a counselor in order to identify and resolve all her issues of past family abuse, low self esteem, feelings of self doubt and worthlessness, and a general feeling of "miserable" to use her words, would be the first step in healing for her. Also, does anyone know of any self help books to suggest? She was in a much better place mentally in college, but, since moving here to LA, she is crashing. Please help.
