Don’t worry - help is always available! You can call 988 and have armed goons show up to escort you to a place where you get the shit beat out of you, they deliberately misgender you and blow vape smoke in your face!
i really hate that “just talk to someone”.
that is a very substandard someone who will be talking to you if you’re broke… that or they put you in a terrible mental hospital….
my brother has been to several, and there’s a huge difference between institutions….
in Detroit they beat the shit out of him and chipped his tooth….
Even in Germany where help really is available getting it is a TOTALLY different thing and issue.
Now getting someone for your issue is an even more daunting task.
So yes, even here you might either have to wait years (after you yourself searched and found what you need yourself in your dire situation) or get into standard psych ward and some calming medication…
Oh it did. I got put on the “women’s ward” and was forced to spend 10 hours in a room with a man who physically assaulted me. I have PTSD from the incident, but you can be damn sure that I’m never seeking any form of mental health “care” again.
Grew up with a 405 area code. The cops out there are absolute bullshit, they once pulled over to interrogate my friends and I waiting at a bus stop. My brown friends got a patdown and a bunch of questions about why we were hanging around an abandoned building, and I, the blonde girl, got a stern talking to about how hanging out with “the wrong kind” was going to ruin my life. Nevermind that we were literally standing at a bus stop, and we were all honors students, the cops saw an opportunity to be assholes, and they took it. Fuck 'em.
I marched at a Hoco parade in a 405 area code with a black guy. We got kicked out of the parade because the cop didn’t believe we belong there. We were wearing our colleges shirts and everything.
I need out. But my options look like a coffin. The troubled teen facility which sexually abused me as a child is suing me for $1500 and trying to make it so that I can’t be a mandatory reporter. I have zero money lol

I’ve not heard this particular story, but similar. I am hopeful this didn’t happen to you personally.

I am sorry, really I am. This is one of my greatest fears.
I’m just an alcoholic now lol

I could not get out of there fast enough, lol
