Hi. I guess for while i've circle around this question. In seeking help i've felt it important to realize that I have and am trying, even if it's not in the forms that seem to work. Hence, my question, having tried multiple therapy/group progams and hospitalizations and asking in here .. i know, even if i don't believe it, that i'm trying to get help.
What i've also noticed are my shortcomings on getting help ... given my lack of socialization, economic status, insurance, etc.
Though i get that recent line is somewhat an excuse, so what isn't. My journals indicate all the things i don't want to be, or do, or become, though can't seem to list any of the do's (no matter how much i've tried). I get i have multiple issues ranging from detachments, isolation despair, etc.
So, the ? is, what options are there. I know i'm not suicidal, though i know i'm not an extrovert nor any desire to become one.
So what do i do, thinking more is needed to be posted by me?

quick clarifications ... yes, i do walk 3-6 miles every day (to and from work) ... no, i don't take meds (last 2 therapists, a few yrs ago recommended not taking them stating issues are personality, not chemical). though thanks for early bit of advise.

Thanks for the advise so far, though presently it's ideas i've considered before (obviously you all couldn't have known that). lol, maybe i'm seeking a 8th or 9th option, who knows.
i feel as two persons, the one knowing i need help for which i don't think is out there and the other who still has the ideation of hoping to not wake up.
Though i also know i can't go anywhere since i pay the bills for myself and others (others are actually disabled).
Wondering if maybe the issue is i have no respect and am disgusted with myself, but no concept of what happiness is for i can't see a lifestyle out there that appears happy to me, who knows. Still looking i guess

Thanks for the ideas regarding ECT. Been informed ECT doesn't work for those with dysthymia (mild depression), schizoid/narassistic personality disorder ... which is my situation. Though again, i do appreciate the 3rd option.
If there are any more out there, (since to be honest, tired of a dozen attempts of therapy, group therapy, and meds) and seeking something else out .. let me know (though not pray ... spiritual but not religious so please no "come to God" ideas .. okay, thanks.
