I'm not saying this to be dramatic, but I really feel like I want to kill myself. I would rather go and get professional help instead of posting about it here, but I can't even do that because I am completely overwhelmed with the insurance BS. That's kind of ridiculous, that something like that would get in the way of getting help for that sort of thing, but that's the truth.
I'm not calling a hotline - that won't do any good. I need to get treatment for my social anxiety but I can't seem to find a CBT group specifically for anxiety that accepts my insurance (and it's more complicated than that).
I just feel so overwhelmed by EVERYTHING right now, and so hopeless, that I am sitting here and fighting the urge to just pack a bag and use the last bit of money I have and run away. But to where? There's nowhere to go. So... my mind turns to a more permanent escape that doesn't involve having to worry about anything ever again, but I don't really want to die of course, and I'm too afraid. I just don't know what to do. I can't even makes sense out of anything right now. I have to get a job for the summer and I am DREADING it because I know I will be anxious and based on experience it may make me very unhappy to have to be there every day, and I'm terrified of people making comments about how young I look (I have to accept it somehow but it still bothers me, and I'm too afraid to be assertive most of the time which makes me bitter and that is torture). I feel sick, why why why do I have to deal with this, WHY. Is there any solution, any hope at all? Is there?
It always comes down to MONEY. I don't have the money to go to Nevada to do the Social Anxiety Institute treatment program. I don't have the money for good insurance, or to pay out of pocket for treatment. No money = no help in this case, and no help = don't get better, and don't get better = depression and suicidal ideation, which leads to... either just existing in misery most of the time or attempting suicide and messing myself up and then being even more miserable and full of regret or being successful at it and then I'm gone. Yeah...
Am I allowed to say this without feeling guilty or being accused of being dramatic or ungrateful? I just want to say that right now I REALLY REALLY HATE MY LIFE, I HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT I DON'T CARE IF I HAVE A HOUSE AND RUNNING WATER AND FOOD, I HATE MY LIFE AND I'D RATHER A POOR STARVING PERSON HAVE MY LIFE, SOMEONE WHO WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE IT, BECAUSE I DON'T ****ING WANT IT.
