My first suggestion is that you not start a new thread each time you come here. Choose one of the threads you've started already. Reply to the questions asked. That way there can be an on-going dialogue that is in one place, rather than scattered over the forum. I'm not just being picky here, this is part of your problem. You are scattered. Your thinking is scattered. Your emotions are scattered. So... practicing keeping it focused to ONE topic at a time is related to living one day at a time.

As for looking for help, you found this forum somehow. So you need to use your search skills and google.

You may want to contact Michigan Department of Human Services. You can use this map to find what is near you: http://michigan.gov/dhs/0,4562,7-124-545...--,00.html ... There's an email form to contact them here: http://www.michigan.gov/dhs/0,1607,7-124...--,00.html There may also be a phone number in your Yellow Pages.

If you contact them keep it very brief and to the point. Says something like, "Hi, my name is Christopher, I live __________, I'm 18 years old am dealing with psychological issues and need psychological support but have no money. What resources are available to me? Who can you refer me to?" ... and see what they say. You might also try this site, which has two phone numbers you can call. It is specifically for people in crisis which you may not be at the moment but you can call them and basically ask them the same question... what resources are available to someone like you? http://www.thirdlevel.org/247-crisis-line/

I hope this helps.
