How Do You Know If You've Given Up?

[a3a2]

Kas,

Per your original question...I don't think you would be here if you had given up. Just being here is a step in the right direction. I think you have shown a great deal of tenacity calling these people again and again. Good job. You don't sound like a person who is going to give up. You sound like someone who is going to seek new avenues for healing. I love prime-no's advice, and I am frustrated for you, that such a basic thing would be so difficult to obtain.

How about a member of the clergy? Could you take that avenue temporarily or look to them to guide you to help?

Thanks every one. a3a2, it feels as if I'd given up, today I feel a little better, but not yet ready to say that I don't feel the same way. I'm not religious so that would not the right avenue for me. I have spoken to my social worker and whilst there is not an option like prime-no was suggesting in this country, he is going to chase them up for me. He said that I was very open today and thought that I shared a lot with him - I said that I'm ready to share I just need someone to listen. For now my sessions have gone to fortnightly and I'm getting a support worker as well to help me at home and/or to get out. I will message my friend as well.

Thanks everyone

Sounds good, Kas. I agree with a3a2 in that you don't seem to be giving up, you're finding your way. I hope those new "measures" (lack of words) will help you!
