Yep. Be open. That's what computers are for.

There is nothing more frustrating than reaching out and being told that what you feel is not valid, or at least, irrelevant. Akosibert, I've been through that, so nakasabot gyud ko nimo. I suffered from severe depression at one time, when I was a teenager. I was always the strong one in my family and in my group friends, so I tried to tough it out because, honestly, I thought it shameful to even admit to myself the fact that I was depressed. It got so bad that I finally had to tell my mom that I was on the edge na, I was losing control, I was grasping at straws and that I literally felt like I was drowning. I then asked her if she could go with me to a psychologist because I knew that I needed help. And all she told me was, "sus, kalimti nang depress depress diha, daghan kaayong mga tawo wala'y gikaon sa Africa, your life is more comfortable than millions of other people in the world". She might have said that to make me feel better, or maybe she simply thought I was spewing nonsense. I realized then that even people who love us don't know what we're going through. They don't know the hell and the pain we're in. They can empathize and give us all the support in the world, but the truth of the matter is, we help ourselves.

Akosibert, no one can take you out of the funk you're in right now but yourself. You save you. Do what needs to be done. Don't let life defeat you. We only get one chance at it. Don't give up, ok? I am rooting for you.

[color=navy]Personally, I believe it's really up to the person to know what s/he needs and wants, who should know better right?[

@akosibert, have you tried contacting the people I posted in my earlier post? Have they replied to you?

Do you belong to a religious affiliation? Have you considered tapping into your church or your temple's resource center for spiritual guidance?

All I am saying, atheism isn't infallible. It could be wrong, who knows for sure?

I hope the following links can help you get some sense of direction with what you're going through.

[color=navy]Truth to be told, I have no idea. If you read my post clearly, you could see one is a priest while the other is really a professional in psychology.

I just found these information online and relayed it here for akosibert and chad_tukes to find out for themselves if these people would require consultation fees or can offer other recommendations. I don't think it would cost much just to inquire for some help and direction like that.

As far as I've read, mental health in the Philippines is a growing issue that hasn't been addressed properly by the government bodies and organizations. Sure we have correctional and rehabilitation facilities for the drug dependents, abused women, and young delinquents but how about people like akosibert who's just lost and discouraged... people might suggest a church or religious organizations but for some people, religion isn't enough... they want to rely on science and a professional with a degree...
