Finding myself in 2024 - honestly, this year is wild
Hey everyone,
So, turns out there are no actual therapists or psychiatrists around where I am. Which is cray-cray, right? I feel like there's definitely something off with my mental health but since there's nowhere to get diagnosed... it's just so frustrating. Deep down, I know I've been dealing with depression and anxiety for ages, all by myself. It's tough when you're trying to figurre things out and have no one to talk to about it.

Welcome to the group,! Post whatever feels right for you-I promise you'll get lots of support here.It took me forever not knowing what I had, but my doctors eventually helped me figure it out. Don't give up on finding that help-it's totally out there. You might want to check out 12-step groups like CoDA, Al-Anon, Emotions Anonymous, and ACoA. I joined a bunch of them early in my recovery when I didn't have much support elsewhere. It was 30 years ago now, but some of my closest friends today came from those meetings back then. At the very least, they can point you towards good mental health resoucres if nothing else. Keep at it and take care!
Thank you for your help, stippler. However, the resources you mentioned are unavailable in my area because mental health is not a priority there.
