I feel the depression getting worse almost daily, like spinning down into a dark whirlpool. I need help quickly. I can't work, barely go outside and am finding myself more and more isolated, alone and scared. I have lost everything I owned due to this and am virtually homeless right now. I don't know if I can continue. I need to find someplace safe to be and to get treatment. I have no insurance.

Also here is a link to finding a health center nearest to you for mental health support for those who have no insurance.

Hi Jacki,
I just got off the phone with my cousin, and am ver scarred. I live in az. and she is in california. We grew up together and our aunt who raised us both just passed. I have been in a home that helped me out of depression and taught me the will to live again years ago, but I had insurance. My cousin has no insurance and only felt comfortable speaking to me because what I have been through. She has made me promise not to tell family and friends and has asked for my help. She lost her job, her phone has been shut off and is having dreams of hurting her kids. Where do I go with such urgency of an issue. I know she wants help because she reached out and has asked that I find a place for her in private. She does not want our family to know till she at least knows. Any info would help. thanks, T
