I understand your situation. You should be able to find a mental health clinic close to you. They are usually free or charge according to income. You might want to try some of these.

I used to work with people with schizophrenia who were recently discharged from the state hospital and now I am a 4th year clinical psychology grad student.  I would love to give you some interesting (deidentified) cases, but I don't feel comfortable leaving my e-mail here.  You can contact me through my profile.

You should go. Hey they aren't like the movies-someone already said that, but I feel I should say it as well. I have been in several different psych wards. The feeling is safe and secure, the food is good. If you are going to go on medication or do adjustments to them-it is way better to do it while on the psych floor because of side effects. You meet some very cool people there. You also get the real help you need. There's usually plenty to do. Straight-jackets have been outlawed so don't worry about that nonsense. Even if there is a padded room-the only time you would go in it is if you asked because you wanted to do some cartwheels for excersize. (I did that once and had a blast. The nurse came in and hung out with me while I practiced my tumbling. We laughed and talked.) They are not bad scary places. TRUST ME! Just be honest with all the docs and nurses there. Know your rights and concentrate on getting yourself well. Good luck to you! I hope you feel better soon!

Find a walk-in mental health clinic (maybe hospital ER) and go there right away.  I did that 35 years ago whan I was a mixed up teenager and it saved my life.  I got psychiatric help and medication.  Good luck - your life is important.

Jesse, is there no where you can get some free counselling? Like a support group for depression and mental illness? I'm an Aussie so don't know how your medical & gov support works over there but nearly half my family (including two sons) have suffered or suffer depression & my mum is bi-polar! So I do have some idea of the challenges you are facing. Believe it or not there are people who can see past your illness and will value you & realise that your problems are largely due to the illness. Is there no family member or friend to lend you support as this is very important. Talking to fellow sufferers will show you that you are not alone so make a few enquiries about a support group esp if you have no one close to lean on.\nWith regards to your working: it may be difficult to find an employer who is understanding about the limitations that depression & bi-polar can put on you but if you do apply for a job be honest. If you just fail to turn up when you just can't get out of bed they might think you are  lazy. Try to explain that you are trying to get your life together but some days life is just too much to cope with. Try to be positive; set small achievable goals and don't ever give up and take the easy way out. Hope this has helped. Good luck, be brave and keep going.
