Question by businesswoman005: Where can I receive treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder?
I am in need of some psychiatric therapy, as I am experiencing depression, anxiety, and stress. I am wondering if there are any treatment/rehabilitation centers where I can go for an extended period of time to receive treatment for my emotional disorder.

Does anyone know of any treatment centers in the US (or abroad) where someone can get help? If you can please refer me to any websites or programs I would greatly appreciate it. I am not looking for a hospital, or a psychotherapist. I am moreso looking for a place that I can go to get away and get help for my emotional disorder. Thank you very much.

The only places you can go to get help are hospital’s or private dr’s offices! There is no camp for resort for ppl with mental illness! Though having one would probably be a great idea!

Question by star: what do i do about my depression?
I’m 18 and have been depressed for as long as i can remember. but i was only just diagnoised this year for major depression. sometimes i feel better but it’s like the calm before the storm. i moved out a couple months ago into an apt with my friends, i don’t have any money for meds or therapy (not that it was helping because i could never get a freaking appointment) and my school takes forever with their counseling.
i can usually handle myself okay but recently i’ve felt like my 13 year old self again because i’m now back to…
-cutting
-experimenting with(stupid) drugs (all the time)
-other self mutilations
-eating disorders
i just hate this feeling and i have no control, i’m freaking out and i almost feel like i should be hospitilized but idk how to go about doing that or what else there is to do. i start college as a freahman in a week. i’ve tried different outlets, i write/read/draw/dance etc. all the time. i’m not suicidal (yet) i’m just freaking out and want to cry/scream/scratch/bite/choke all the time, do anything to escape reality… what do i do?
I did a trial with the depression patch and it REALLY did not help and i also tried something called like trazadine or something? because i also have insomnia it helped a little bit but made me drowsy the whole day
i would like to get better without meds but i know that is difficult what i need a guess would be free therapy but that doesn’t really exist.

One of the best ways to relieve yourself from the stresses in life is by giving to others. When you help others it takes the focus off of you and your problems and shifts the focus to the needs of others.

Helping others brings about change in the community and a peace to you and someone in need. Below are 10 ways to volunteer and give the gift of yourself to others:

1. Walkathons: Walkathons are charity walks. The only thing required is desire, determination and some good walking shoes. To participate contact the charity of your choice who is hosting the walk to register. Once you register you will be asked to get sponsors to donate money on behalf of you walking. Sponsors can be anyone- your family members, co-workers, church members, local businesses etc. Donations can be anywhere from .00 to as much as your sponsor is willing to donate.

Question by charlotte048: Is it worth seeing a counsellor?
If two people are in love can they sort through their problems? Is seeing a relationship counsellor together a good idea? They are problems which re putting strain on the relationship but they aren’t completely unsolvable… like he doesn’t love her in the way she wants him to but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love her at all… and whenever they argue (I mean come on many couples argue) they don’t really know how to do it properly (a counsellor could teach them). Are these things a counsellor could help with? What are come ways to suggest to a couple that it’s a good idea? Does it cost much money? Would the sessions need to be regular like once a week or only once a month?

GRIEF SUPPORT: ENTIRE DVD CHAP 1 – FOR MORE INFO: therapeuticsoulspeak.blogspot.com SOULSPEAK GRIEF SUPPORT CHAP 1 Grief Recovery, Support and Healing SOULSPEAK GRIEF SUPPORT is an outgrowth of our extensive SOULSPEAK Grief Counseling Programs for School Children and our SOULSPEAK Grief Support Programs at Hospices. Here are some comments by people using SOULSPEAK GRIEF SUPPORT: “. . . I have a fourth grader whose sister died in a car accident almost a year ago. Many of the regular counseling techniques were just not working. In the last three weeks, the only change in our working together has been using SOULSPEAK as a part of individual counseling. The change, well, it has been remarkable. This little girl is expressing herself, smiling, sharing her [SOULSPEAK] poems with her mom, which is beginning to open things up at home for her.” TC, Guidance Counselor “I have been using SOULSPEAK on small groups of students in my RAINBOWS (grief counseling) groups . . . ALL students were able to reach deeply inside themselves . . . KB, Counselor “It is remarkable how the [SOULSPEAK] process brings to the surface feelings and emotions that are in your subconscious . . . I feel this program could be beneficial to many participating in the grief support program. ” Nancy, Hospice Participant

Question by expatriate59: Why is it that more times than not, people’s answer to life’s issues is to “seek therapy” or “get counseling”?
Don’t you guys realize that good quality therapy or counseling isn’t financially available to everyone, and the majority of insurance companies will not cover mental health therapy (which is what this is)?

While there may be agencies that provide counseling for a nominal fee or for free, those tend to not have the quality that is needed in many cases.

Also, how do you know that the person asking the questions hasn’t tried therapy or counseling already?

Unless you have REAL advice to give, this is one of those situations where it is best not to answer, than to say “get therapy”.
Link955 says, “”Get counseling” isn’t the empty phrase you seem to think it is. I don’t give that kind of advice lightly, and to tell the truth, I am a little insulted that you would think so. ”

Question by ivone v: The Four Stages of Grief?
When someone close to us dies, grief grabs us by the throat and shatters our world into a million pieces. Some days it numbs us to the bone and turns us into walking zombies. Other days it pierces our hearts and forces a scream so loud it scares us into silence. Often in our society, painful losses go ungrieved. A divorce, a job, our youth, an empty nest, even our own painful childhoods are never grieved because we believe we must get on with life. We believe we have no right to mourn the loss of an alcoholic parent or an abusive spouse. We may experience deep sorrow for the family we never really had or the siblings we did not connect with. But these losses need to be grieved before we can heal and move forward. In coming to grips with any type of loss we must pass through the Four Stages of Grief. We must move through them all, sometimes more than once, if we are to come out of the tunnel of loss, whole again.

Question by Alex: What would you do? Advice please.?
My sister is making me go to meetings with a priest and psychologist because she found out I’m a little bi-curious. I read that it’s a little normal got teenage guys to be curious during adolescence, but she has these conservative ideas. I’m anxious and don’t know what to expect at any of the places. I know I’ll have to go because she always has her way. Then I have to go to the “Pornography Addiction Support Group” meetings. Apparently watching it a few times makes you an addict. Does anyone know how these meetings work? They’re supposedly all adult and I’m 16, I’m pretty embarrassed. =/

Answer by Rof
Geesh, you poor thing! Try to get out of it. If you can’t, just play along when you’re around the “conservatives” and then do your own thing when you’re on your own. You’ve only got a couple of years till your 18. Get a calendar and mark off the days!

Question by : In Oregon heard of Serenity Lane drug&alcohol rehab issueing scholarship/grant for outpatient financial aid?
My husbands insurance did not pay like they said. Now we owe another 1500.00. I heard Serenity Lane has a scholarship program but they only sent us finance papers for payments when I requested an application for aide. I am thinking its a word of mouth rumor with no actual facts.
Does anybody know of such aide actually being granted?
We trusted SL when they told us what our insurance would cover, but then the insurance said that “SL Outpatient Program” falls under “Inpatient” according to their underwriting. So now there is a huge deductible to be paid by us. I read the entire insurance policy handbook and no where is anything stated about “Outpatient Group” falling under “Inpatient” but that’s what they’re saying and SL admits it shouldn’t go this way however, they want money. Husband has been on work restrictions since 6wk after starting rehab because of disability issue and only gets 4hr of work daily. With MAJOR medical bills every month we submitted application to SL Billing Office but it was denied with statement saying we didn’t offer a payment plan! Well, dickens. I called and ask for scholarship/grant application not payment plan paperwork. We aren’t going to be able to squeeze for much longer. We are quickly getting behind. Any info on appealing insurance or getting SL to discount bill would help me. I am out of options and research ideas.

Question by : I got ticketed for “Disorderly Conduct”, what can I do? I don’t want a criminal record, please help?
1 month ago, I was at a house party with some friends and I had a lot to drink, we were pretty loud and were at some point outside. Well it appears that somebody called the police and when they came I was pretty wasted and when the police officers started asking what was going on and asking us questions, I allegedly became loud and rowdy, and I didn’t stop drinking or smoking my cigarette after they told me to. Now I was in the property of my friend’s house at the time and had not really broken any laws, and I’m way over 21, so at the time I didn’t see why they should tell me to stop drinking or smoking so I kept doing it and allegedly insulted them. Well they were upset and cuffed me, I freaked out and begged him not to arrest me and apologized, then my friend promised the cops I wouldn’t cause any more trouble and that she would take me home. Well they uncuffed me but gave me a ticket for “Public Disorderly Conduct”. I thought I had dodged a bullet and this was just a minor citation. Well it’s not.
