Answer 1

Get help. Tell someone around you that you need help if the steps below seem overwhelming. or Call 911 if you need immediate help.

Good for you for asking for help. You've made the first step. It's the big one. You may feel it's just out of desperation right now, but it actually takes a lot of courage. Hang in there. One step at a time.

Basic Questions and Information:
Do you have insurance? Ask for a referral from your PCP or doctor to a mental health professional. Anyone and everyone can benefit from therapy.

If you're working, most employers have an Employee Assistance Program Tollfree Number (usually called an EAP or EAR). This service is also free and Totally confidential. You will have a set number or sessions at no charge and they will also give you a list of resources in your community for counseling, including low cost and income based, if needed. If you are not working but have a relative or friend who is, most EAP/EAR programs allow a friend or relative of the employee to use the program, if that friend or relative's life affects the employee's life.

If you don't have insurance:
Look in the front section of your local phone book. In our area the phone number for United Way is "211". United Way is like a clearinghouse for a ton of community resources. United Way is free and totally confidential. Just tell the customer service rep that you are interested in counseling with a licensed psychologist or therapist (one that specializes in treating Anxiety and Depression, maybe) that will see you based on your income. They will give you a list of services in your area.

Also, check with any local Universities in your area to see if they have a psychology department. Counseling is provided for a small fee by students in training and is overseen by a licensed clinical psychologist. Fees average $5-$10 a session.

Or try the State Adult Medicaid program in your area, ran by your County. Usually, if you don't qualify, they will refer to a clinic or services that will see you based on your income.

Hope this helps. In the mean time try playing soothing music. Maybe sleeping on it to start. Sometimes things look different the next day. Then you can start to maybe work on some of the options above.

Hang in there. Everybody needs some help at some time.

Answer 2

I don't know what you're going through, so I can't answer this question completley, but when ever I feel like I can't cope with life anymore, I take a step back and look at other things; blessings (I don't know if you're 'spiritual' or not), consider that someone out there loves you with all their heart, talk to a friend if I feel confertable enough, but I understand if you can't, because I was the same way sometimes - friends aren't always 100% comfertable.. Maybe writting things down on paper will help, venting is a good source of feeling better about things, and can acutally help.. Just try to remember, things can always be worse, take life for what it is, look for the good in things. Things might seem crappy, but there sometimes is a reason why that thing is happening, and try to find someone to talk to if you can. I'm sorry for rambling, I hope this helped, even just a little.. I know life gets hard.. But try to sit back and breathe, and maybe listen to music that you like and just get lost in it.. Take care.

Answer 3

I would talk to yur parents about it, and see if there's anything possible to stop the hair! Like laser treatments, but if yu can't afford that, then yu need to know that their are other people out there with the same problem! Finding a solution would be much easier when opening up about it to yur parents! letting them know how yu feel about this issue of yurs! Just remember no one is perfect, and there's always a solution! Good luck! =]

Answer 4

It's hard to say, from what little you have said, what your exact problem is. I know that for me, when I feel emotionally overwhelmed I need to stop and focus and give myself permission to feel what ever it is I'm feeling, if that makes sense. I feel like many times when we start feeling like we "can't cope" it's because we are having issues with allowing ourselves to feel. Sometimes I get angry or feel guilty for feeling depressed but we DO have a right to our emotions. that DOESN'T mean we have to let them run our lives either. After you acept what you are feeling, you also have to accept that there are some things we cannot control, and that we just have to let go. and anger and bitterness and sadness are not constructive. don't bottle it up. Let yourself feel it and then let it go. If think you might need help learning how to deal with emotions, get help. There is all kind of help out there. medication may help, or you just may need counciling. many health insurance companies do have mental health benifits, and if you don't have insurance many councilers will work with you on a sliding scale. do not be afraid to reach out.

Answer 5

Go to a hospital, doctor, friend or family member and let them help you or find the right way to help you. It is never too late. Accepting you have a problem is always the first step.

Answer 6

bless your heart...
Can you talk to someone? If you can't talk to someone, start writing down your feelings. Just pour them out on paper, don't edit anything, just get them out. The very act of just talking to someone or writing out what is going on is very freeing and can unburden you immensely.
Also, praying is very helpful, even if you don't believe in God, you can just pray to the universe. I've been in some very difficult situations and these things have really! helped me get through them. I'm praying for you...hang in there...help is coming!!!
Blessings!

Answer 7

There has to be a reason you are suffering, a light at the end of a tunnel, think about that and it should help. Focus on your reason for the suffering, the original reason and it should help you stay afloat.

Answer 8

its time to take stock of things and get some help.Have a holiday or a change of scenery can help.There is a light at at the end of the tunnel even though you cannot see it.

Answer 9

It simply means "my cup runneth over". Try and avoid stressful situations till you feel you can 'cope'

Answer 10

Remove yourself from the situation that is causing the problem.

It worked for me.
