Jibby's Advice for your problems!

Not everyone can afford genuine therapy though. For those that can't, advice from random people or just talking it out could help.

It really depends on what you're talking about. I don't want to reveal too much about myself (I've probably done that already, frankly), but if I tried to treat my issues by sitting around talking about them, I would be dead by now.

So can going to a thearpist. That was the point.

Well, the difference is that someone who's bummed but goes to therapy and takes medication, worst case scenario, they remain bummed.

Someone who actually needs those things and just tries to talk about it, worst case scenario they end up dead.

Do you see my point?

[HeyRiles]

What the huh? Worst case scenario of getting prescribed medication that can kill you if you accidentally or intentionally overdose is just continuing to be bummed?

[SheSaidSheSaid]

Well if you're talking about if somebody has an allergy to medication or something, then why ever go to a doctor about anything?

Whatever. I think I'm done here.

I'd be adopting as a single person. I'm quite sure both would be steep, steep hills to climb.

Edited for my own self. I do plan to do so and I don't see a relationship expanding from nowhere (though it would be nice) in the next 10 years. If I'm in the 32-35 range and I don't have a relationship BUT have a steady income and reliable residence I would definitely adopt. The stigma behind single parents adopting is horrible though and I fear the uphill battle already.

One-on-one therapy, no, but schools usually provide counseling for free or as part of the tuition. Additionally, group therapy/support groups are almost always available for free in many areas.

For some, like myself, group therapy is actually more effective than the singular version. I'd urge everyone who's been through one-on-therapy and hasn't seen any results to give group counseling a try.

Ok, could we cut it off here please.
I'm pretty sure that anyone who comes in here understands that this place isn't going to solve all their problems. and that they should get professional help anyway sometimes.

This thread is simply not a replacement for anything. think of it as an extra source of help.
