There are places you can get help and are charged on a sliding scale. There are even places you may get help and your meds for free. I don't know how old you are, but I believe you can still get help on your own. Look in the phone book under "counseling services", or "mental health". If your parents are not supportive, talk to a teacher, your principal, a minister. Just keep trying to get help. I will be praying for you. Good luck to you.

you should try to see your school therapist. most schools have them. that's what i do because i can't afford it either. and don't think getting meds will make you magically better, it takes time for them to start working and you may have to try a few different ones before you start feeling better. you sound pretty young, but if money's that tight you should get a job. as for the cutting, just make sure you don't do it where you can hit a vein and make sure you use a clean razor or knife or glass or whatever you use. i was going through the same thing a few months ago. don't worry you won't feel like this forever. good luck!
