Need help finding recourses near me. I'm completely lost. Location: Redding, CA. I recently moved to a new city. I'm going through the worst time of my life and desperately need some support.

GrandReturn4 asked:

[Help] Best way to surrender my dog? Hello, I live in SoCal and I'm looking into surrendering my dog. I will no longer be around to take care of him and would like to see him in a good home before I go. He's a 6 year old pure (I think) German Shepherd. Very well trained, no health issues whatsoever, very calm and loving temperament. He's never shown aggression towards anyone and is great with kids. Does anyone have any tips on where I should look? Or where I can post about giving him up? I'd also be willing to drive him anywhere in the country to make sure he finds a good home, so if you know anyone, please let me know Edit: Thank you guys so much for all the nice messages and offers to walk my dog and talk to me. My parents kick me out in a few months and I don't think I'll be able to make it on my own if nothing in my life changes until then. So I wanted to have a list of potential landing spots for my dog, since my parents aren't dog people and wouldn't know what to do with him.

cdsavona replied:

Hi....something about this post raised some red flags and I checked out some other posts you've written, too. Please please please...don't give up. I promise you, you have amazing things to offer and life is full of so many possibilities. I don't know you (obviously), but clearly you are a conscientious and caring person. Your dog loves you. And even though I don't know you...I care too. I am thinking about a stranger right now and hoping that I can help. I will attach the number to the Suicide Hotline here: 1-800-273-8255

recueee replied:

The love you clearly have for your dog is reflective of how genuinely good of a human you are. Clearly you are going through a hard time and dealing with mental health issues suck, but I know one of the big parts can be feeling worthless or like you don't have value. I just want to point out the concern and love for your dog alone proves that you are caring and loving, not only that but it seems you have been able to train him pretty well which is really impressive. Perhaps look into working/interning at a local trainer and becoming a dog trainer as a career path? Regardless, your life matters. You matter. Suicide Hotline here: 1-800-273-8255

LWelly asked:

I need to get help with my mental health but I don’t know where I can go safely My job requires a secret clearance and so does my rate. I got scammed by a car dealership am drowning in debt and i mental and financially can’t get separated. I need help. I am in a bad place and I don’t know to go to get the help I need without losing my job. I know now more than ever the navy need a better way of dealing with mental health, and part of the problem is people like me fearing the repercussions of getting help. I have had the worst month of my life and literally can’t talk to anyone.

subshooter3 replied:

Call 800-273-8255 or text 741-741. Or go talk to the Chaplin. There are places to go and there are people who care. I’ve been in the same position, drowning in debt, horrible credit and worried about my clearance, fortunately my command was understanding and gave me the opportunity to fix it. My point is there are options and don’t be afraid to ask for help.

OpenPop asked:

Psychiatrist recommendations? I’m currently a junior at A&M and I’m finally coming to the realization that I need to go talk to a doctor. I haven’t been feeling the same since this summer and it’s starting to affect my grades. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good psychiatrist in the area? Thank you.

stasis_13 replied:

http://scs.tamu.edu/ Please reach out to family members about any feelings you have and don’t hesitate to call 1-800-273-8255. Mental health is very important and don’t be afraid to admit it to yourself. Psychiatrist usually take awhile to get a appointment. Talk to a local doctor about everything you’re dealing with to prescribe anti-depressant, then find a psychiatrist along with a therapist that can help you get through things. You got this and can get through it. Just like a storm during the dark of night, “this too shall pass” and will become a sunny beautiful morning. Good luck.

I need a **CHEAP** psychiatrist for an uninsured adult in west Raleigh. Any suggestions? Patient was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid but nothing since. Is showing serious signs of depression, anxiety, paranoia, bouts of rage, mood swings, antisocial behavior, etc. No insurance and low income. Can not travel far. Will not do therapy. I'm afraid if this goes on much longer he's going to cross the line into "danger to himself and others" territory. Please help me.

Whatever0626 asked:

Can anyone recommend a therapist for depression and anxiety? For the sake of brevity and anonymity, I'll keep details to a minimum. I've been in a state of suicidal depression and crippling anxiety for the last year and half or so. I was baker\-acted recently, after my 2nd attempt and have attempted again since. Just haven't worked up the nerve to see it through. If I don't do something soon, I'm certain I'll be checking out. The doctors in the hospital I was held at were of no help. I saw a PCP after getting out and he was no help. A therapist seems like the next logical step, I suppose. Rather than pick one at random, I was hoping to maybe find someone in the area who's been through a similar situation and could recommend a therapist that might be able to save my life. Thank you

Adamadtr asked:

What free psychiatrist are located in the greater stl area? Mental illness is dominant on my dad's side of the family. I've been have troublesome, disturbing thoughts lately. I need a free therapist to talk about everything. My upbringing. The bullying in school. The heartbreak and mental problems my cheating ex has given me. I don't want to fall victim to this. I want to be proactive and manage this the best way I can. I want to be a police officer one day, but I know I need to get a little bit more stability in my cranium before that happens. (If not free, any relatively cheap psychoatrist in the area? I'm not 100% sure if I have any insurance or not right now, as well.)

lunameow replied:

If the thoughts get too troublesome or disturbing, PLEASE call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. Don't wait until you're being talked off an overpass or something. At the very least, they can help you find someone near you that you can afford.

pbeatles asked:

CAPS crisis hotline I have gone to CAPS this semester to make an appointment with the counselor I was seeing from last semester but I was put on a waitlist since this particular counselor has a lot of requests and is pretty popular. I have been very depressed, verging on suicidal for various reasons and want to get a recommendation for a counselor/therapist outside of SJSU but I don't feel comfortable doing so until I get to talk to a counselor at school first. I want to reach out to the crisis hotline but I am afraid that they will try to send the police to my house and I don't need my family knowing my situation since they already deal with another family member who is going through depression too. Has anyone had experience calling their hotline? What was it like?

hartnellmichael replied:

I don't know anything about the school's resources, but if you are feeling suicidal you should call the national hotline at 800-273-8255. There's also the Santa Clara County web page at https://www.sccgov.org/sites/bhd/services/sp/pages/default.aspx It contains a number, too. Hope these help.

Kandyce L. asked:

I have suffered from severe depression for a while now and now it’s gotten worse enough to where I have suicidal thoughts and I want to get some help. I have two babies; a 16 month old little girl and a 3 month old little boy; I need to better my life for my kids they can’t keep seeing their mommy like this. Me and the dad argue all the time and it’s gotten ridiculous. My godmother thinks I need to go to the hospital; let them commit me and get some help; I want to because of my kids and I want my life better. A friend of mine called Lincolnton hospital today to see what I could do; they told her they could help but I would be talking to someone over video and that’s not what I want. The best way to explain the help I want is “7th floor” help. I want it to be face to face; personal help. I don’t care how long it takes as long as I can have some help. I don’t have insurance so someone please help out. What hospital do I go to? What do I tell them?? Has anyone ever dealt with something similar to this? Please no bashing it took a lot to just post this.
