    This is all I feel capable of doing, but I don’t know where I can get help. I tried going inpatient and got physically assaulted and then fired from my job.

      • Talk to a trusted friend or relative.
      • Ask them to help you set small goals like: 1) identify a couple mental health providers or life coaches or similar, 2) give some of them an initial call, 3) pick 1-2 to follow up with.
      • Ask your trusted friend or relative to help you stay on track to accomplish those goals.

        I’ve been trying to find one. There are not a lot of resources here - to the point where the DOJ is investigating local lack of access to mental health care as a statewide civil rights violation.

          God damn that’s terrible. I’m so sorry. The state I’m in in the Midwest is low on personnel too but at least it’s just a matter of waiting vs never knowing if you’ll have one.
