Asking for help is the first step toward recovery. Yes, find a counselor that is trained to deal with people of your age and diagnosis. But talk to a psychiatrist first so they can find out what is wrong. You could be living with Depression, Bi-Polar Disorder, Manic Depression or something else. Only a Psychiatrist can give you the answers you need to find the right counseling for you. Depending on the cause there are many ways to treat it. I found a great one, it's called W.R.A.P./ Wellness Recovery Action Plans developed by a wonderful lady named Mary-Ellen Copeland.\nAnd don't be afraid or let anyone tell you it's dumb to need and seek help, it's not, it's a very intelligent thing to do.

Translation...Need someone to talk to?  Do you need someone to talk you out of doing crimes, or talk you out of killing yourself, or someone else, or you need advice, or relationship help, or if there something else you want or need help with or anything. Add my email address (***).  Well I know this is weird and you might think of me as some rapist or kidnapper or anything else I'm not. To tell you the truth I'm only 16 and I have talked more than 37 people out of killing themselves in just 1 month but I have been doing this 4 almost a year believe it or not and well I know I am a stranger and you might not believe me but give it a chance you I know your thinking 1 chance might cost your life or someone elses but believe me and give me a chance and if I am one of those poeple like a kidnapper then why would I give out my information like I'm 16 or my email address and I know it can be fake but its not well I got to go so talk to you soon and remember I'm here to help you not to "dishelp".  \n\nIt was just too exhausting to correct any grammatical or punctuation errors...so I interpreted it as well as I could.  I hope this helps everyone.  And for portugese_person...you sound like you really care about others.  Kudos for you!!!

Actually, i'd rather someone told me. So, what you are doing is simply trying to help me and you're also considering my goodness.. What's better than this? On the other side, yeah i may become a little bit angry with myself, saying like how can i forget or ignore this.. But, certainly i'd appreciate you then.. :) So, keep it up, be yourself and don't pay attention to their reactions at that time, i think...

your question leads me to believe you need professional help.

You should talk with your friend about the situation...if you aren't doing anything to provoke the situation then you shouldn't worry but I would definitely encourage you to talk with your friend.

You keep asking for help. People have answered with great advice. But you take no action to get the help you need. We can do no more for you now. IT IS ALL UP TO YOU NOW! Make a decision to go to the doctor and get some professional help. YOU have to decide to do what is best for you and your situation. Why keep asking if you are not going to take action. I could be helping some else who really wants help instead of spending it on someone who can't reach the correct decision to simply go to a trained professional. Good luck and Goodbye!

Please listen very carefully? Dial the info line, 211 , that's the number, 211. They can put you in touch with someone who will not be insensitive. I have used this number on many occasions also for suicidal thoughts. The person called me back with-in 20 minutes and talked me down. I am thankful for the info line and the way they run it. I too battle depression and I know it's probably going to be with me for the rest of my life BUT I also know that there Are people out there that can and have helped. The operator will ask you the nature of the call and then you tell him/her that you need to speak to a psychologist about your depression, she will ask you what area you live in so that this person will be close to you. It really helped and I felt much better. If you think you need to be in the hospital, she can call ahead to let them know you are coming, again they are here to listen and direct you to whatever you need. Don't give up and I am really sorry you are going through this, I really am. Please dial 211 or your local hospital and they will help you! Be Safe.

I don't know of any way to guarantee that anyone you contact online who claims to be a psychiatrist really has the credentials--but for that matter, if you're really needing to talk to somebody, you need to at least be able to reach someone by phone, and if at all possible meet in person. I'd like to suggest the link below from my website that lists toll-free crisis-hotline numbers. And if I can help in any way, I'm not a licensed counselor but I'm willing to listen. Drop me a line at chad@jesusfreak.com if you'd like. Take care.

Well done for realising you have a problem, that is the first step in the right direction, and so is asking for help too. I think you should see your doctor who can help you or reffer you to someone else who is trained in dealing with such conditions. You need to think positively, relax, and deep breathe when you think you may hurt someone. Walk away from any situation you fear may lead  you want to hurt someone. Remind your self it is not acceptable to hurt someone and that you are a nice person. Take more control in what you do by being a positive you. Has anything ever happened to you in the past to make you want to hurt someone else?? You need to ask yourself why do I want to hurt that person? Then realise what you are thinking and control it. I know it may sound easy, but it will not be. The more you do not give in the easier it will become over time, but you do need to see your doctor to get advice. Hope all will turn out well.

There is something missing if he feels he has to chat to someone he isnt close to about intimate details of his life.  In saying that it can be easier to talk to someone you dont know about things that are going on for you, i chat to ppl on the net, and i know its because i sometimes find it hard to talk to my other half, i must admit i do feel guilty about it sometimes, and i use this as a way of letting him know im not happy with something, its sad, i should be able to speak to the person i love, and i do love him a lot, but i try to make sure i dont get into any cyber stuff, i stop that in its tracks,,but even though i chat to ppl about my issues i dont think i could ever meet anyone from the net, as then i would be cheating, and i would rather leave him than cheat on him, why put us both through that pain? Try and make time for each other start with twice a week? Come to an agreement that he cuts back on his internet chat, and take a risk by chatting to you,dont ask, make sure you tell him how this is making you feel,and how you have needs too that you feel are not being met. How would he feel if you spent time chatting to strange men on the internet about you're personal issues?  Short sharp shock sometimes works, try going online, maybe not chatting but theres loads on the net you can do, then when he sees you spending a lot of time online then it might just give him the push to start sharing whats going wrong. Do you actually see what he is talking about?  Why not suggest you getting to know this person too, after all she seems to know as much about him as you do.  I hope things work out for you both, take care.

Go talk to a professional.  They're trained in such matters and have seen all kinds of problems, so they can offer some good advice.  Self-help stuff is fine if you're looking to make some minor improvements, but if there's stuff that just overwhelms you, it's not a bad thing to admit you need help.\n\nAnd no, Yahoo! Answers is not a good substitute for professional help.

your idea has its ups and its downs, more downs than ups. \n\nwhat if they're lying, what if they never pay, what if you don't get all the details, what if there is no way for you to bill them because they never give you the info., if they do it isn't theirs.what if you don't know how to word things? What if they want to meet you, then will you?\n\nThey may feel more comfortable,It may be easier to a certain extent, and I have heard of online counseling before, but eventually everyone meets. If I was looking for a counselor I would look into this, but I'm not.\n\nAren't most counseling sessions one on one and in a private atmosphere? Other than being over the comp. how is this any diff.?\n\nBut I don't mean to shoot your idea to the ground, and I do wish you the best of luck. I'm sure there are people that are interested!

Frist of all, asking for help is a sign of your personal fortitude.  It takes a lot of courage to even consider the possibility of needing, much more accepting, help.  \n\nIn your case, if you even suspect that you need help, please consult with a mental health professional as soon as possible.  \n\nRegardless of which mental health professional - a primary physician (MD, PCP), psychiatrist (MD), psychologist (PhD), or Qualified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (QMHNP), or licensed mental health counselor (MA, MS, LCSW), etc. - seek help and be an active participant in your treatment plan.  \n\nContinue to nurture yourself, little mama kat 23 - spiritually and physically!  Peace & Good Health to You.

Do you have a close friend or a close relative that you can talk with?  Are you in your teenage years, if you are, that can be a trying time.  Maybe you should talk w/a therapist or a minister about your issue.  Please keep trying your best, and stay focused.  You're not doing anything wrong, your just searching for support and guidance.  Try to stay strong.
