Are there any other ways to help me?
I'm not sure where to turn. I feel like I have run out of options and I just can't cope.
I've seen a pyschiatrist, physchologist, hypnotherapist and counseller- none helped. I recently went to my head of year when things were really too much- to the extent when it was either help or die- and she, although she said she wouldn't since she saw it wouldnt help, has just asked a counseller to speak to me. I need real help. I know it can help to talk through fears and everything but it hasn't helped me in the past and I cannot put myself through the pain of living for the date where I saw a therapist and begging them to help me. It was hell and it never really helped anything.
I need SOMETHING more now. Things are really bad at the moment. It's hard to explain but basically I have complete phobias of lots of things (certain films, accents, places, anything) that I can relate to a certain person who hurt me. I don't want to go into this since it's not overly relevent to this question.
I just want to know if there is ANYTHING else out there. I really don't know what to do. I want to die. I feel like everything is helpless and no one can help me. I'm not allowed medication as the pyschiatrist felt I was too dependant on things. I don't know where else to turn. My parents don't either.
The reason I went to my head of year was for this reason- I am totally stuck. I can't handle it. I feel like I am falling and no one can stop me. I need help so badly- I just can't see anything out there.
Please reply if you can; thankyou xxxx

hey im not going to try to diagnos what you have like some others have because im no doctor. but look you CAN make it through your fears. i wish death was onw of your phobias so we wouldnt have to worry about suicide but neither of us appears to be that lucky. look just take all the time you need to work with different doctors. keep trying. dont give up on your life. keep putting yourself with people you know love you. they will keep you from hurting yourself. have someone else keep and give you medication if your not trusted with it. look im me(secretzxXxwithin) or email me or something if you need to talk or just need someone to listen. good luck. i KNOW you will make it.

Somewhere out there is a therapist who can help you. I know that isn't what you want to hear. People tend to think they have to stick to one doctor. You don't. Keep looking. Be honest and open and get the help you need. You know, it's going to sound stupid but look up Dr Phil and see if there is help to be had on his web site. He is very good. :)

I know you've tried it before, but you need to get back in touch with a qualified set of professionals. Both a psychiatrist who can and will give you medication and a psychologist who will work through your phobias with you. Not all psychiatrists practice the same type of psychiatry.
If you really can't cope with the real world, you may need to stay in a mental hospital for a while until you've learned some coping mechanisms.
Good Luck.

I would say the best option is, in fact, therapy. For therapy to work, you need to find a therapist you feel comfortable with - and then you need to stick with it.
Counselling can often uncover uncomfortable feelings and force you to really own how you are feeling at present. It doesn't happen overnight, as I'm sure you're aware, and sometimes good therapy can take months or even years.
I'd consider searching for your own therapist - you have every right to be picky when it comes to your mental health.
I'd also ask about the possibility of group sessions in your area - the community mental health team will be able to link you up with volunteer groups, social groups, or support groups of people your own age. They can also help you find advocates, which is someone who will represent you to your school, parents, psychiatrists, etc.
I applaud you for realizing you need to work through your problems, but you'll need to follow through. First, find a counsellor YOU trust. Next, try keeping a daily journal where you write about your fears, hopes, frustrations, or daily experiences. In this way, you can explore yourself as deeply as you can in therapy.
Everything will take time; wounds heal best when they heal slowly. You can't just wave a magic wand or slap a plaster on mental hurts (unfortunately!), but you CAN make a commitment to value your mental health.
Do that by working with a counsellor that works exclusively with young people, by contacting your local advice & guidance service for young people, etc. There are also phonelines you can call to speak confidentially with someone about your problems and how you feel they could best be helped.
Best of luck.

I have to tell you some thing very important. Please pay attention.
The way your feeling, and reacting to life right now is probably depression. And it's serious.
If you have a therapist, or doctor who doesn't think you "need" medications, that is only their opinion. Try a different doctor. Or clinic. Or support group. Or help-line.
I would be more than happy to listen to you. I know I'm not a doctor, but I'm a careing, listening advocate. I really am here for you.
The bottom line: Reach out for help. Again and again, if nessessary. Your worth fighting for! And remember, I'm here if you need me.

It sounds like you have an anxiety disorder. I have one, and i used to be just like you. My doctor suggested me to a psychiatrist who prescribed me anti- anxiety medicines, which really helps. Don't feel stupid asking about it. This is a hereditery problem. You did nothing to cause this. I suggest going to a different psychiatrist who won't think you are dependant on anything, and ask her if you have an anxiety disorder. I REALLY hope you get help!! if you need anything else from me, feel free to ask!! lyl!! ~lexi

Alright. I have the same problem. Well, to an extent. The songs/movies/accents/etc remind you of a certain person... maybe someone who hurt you or maybe they died.. who knows. The thing to remember is.... The song/movie/accent wasn't made to make you miserable. Some people have very strong memories(me to) and these meories are triggered by different things. When something comes on the tv, or the radio, or someone speaks funny... just think of something else. I know it is hard.. I still start crying when I hear ANY song by Jewel... but some how you will learn to deal with it. *hugs*

ok, you need Jesus. it's as simple as that. ask Him into your heart. read the Bible. pray. ask God for help. He'll help you. I promise. don't give up. i'm praying for you.

look at the things that scare you, anything that makes you uncomfortable, and get used to them being around. Slowly but surely just become less dependant on people and things, try to do things for yourself. Find some way to vent, journal, draw, do abstract art. Writting things down and then reading then like a month or two later lets you reflect and see how you are doing. Just anything you can do. Music helps alot to, making your own is frustrating at first but when you are done it feels wonderful. Only you know what can really help.

i have experienced the problem of seeing a pyschiatrist when my dad left my mom for a year. it broke me and i swore i would help people like myself. i wrote my feelings on paper. the happy ones i kept in a box to look back on and the sad ones i ripped up. my younger brother also felt the same way and got his anger out with sports like tennis, or takwondo, and karate. i started kick boxing...and got my first punching bag for my house. whenever i needed to relieve stress, i would just go punch that.
i have now resolved my problems...and my parents have gotten back together at last.
but the punching bag, sports, and paper helped
hope i helped

ask your parents if you could write on the walls. write anything that makes you happy on your walls. if it makes you mad, ever, paint over it. it's really good therapy. also, you could keep a journal
