Who to talk with?
Posted: Mar 13, 2014
I do not attend a church, have no friends close around to talk with and no family left, all deceased. I do not want to come here and discuss my issues, have in the past and that turns into a free for all. I do have things i would like to talk with others about, a sounding board but who can you talk to if you fall into the above categories? Any suggestions?
;
Maybe try a womens' support group in your - area? Or Meetup.com

you don't have to be a member of the church to talk to them. - many have counseling nm

Well - See Msg
[ In Reply To ..]I agree with the church thing---many of them have highly trained counselors, so that might be helpful to you. Do keep in mind you might get a religious view point, despite them saying they're non-religious.
I personally would not go to a religious leader for mental health counseling. There, you will get religious counseling on to pray, forgive, don't be angry and all that.
If you're just wanting some comaraderie (or however you spell that), then joining some sort of group with people of your interests could be extremely helpful. You could all sort of get to know one another, and from there, a nice friendship or 2 might develop.
Your local community may have a mental health center. They often just charge on a sliding scale basis, or nothing at all if you have no money.
Best of luck to you. If you have very serious mental health issues, then a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist would be your best bet.
Mental, not that. Just someone to talk - with, family issues and the like
[ In Reply To ..]Thanks though.
Glad it's nothing serious - see msg
[ In Reply To ..]Oh, okay. Well, maybe my suggestion about finding like people with the same interests would be helpful. New friendships can be wonderful once you know enough to trust.
Good luck to you.

Anybody watch The Talk? Do you like it now that Holly Robinson Peete and Leah Remini have been fired? I thought it was great when it first started, the chemistry between the ladies was so fun. Leah was over the top sometimes but she was funny, interesting and brought a lot to the table, same for Holly. I can't stand watching it anymore. Molly Shannon is just plain weird the way she talks with her claw hands. The woman who sits in Leah's seat has abso ...

Obama :: They Talk About Me Like A Dog ..Sep 07, 2010
Has President Obama been listening to a lot of Jimi Hendrix lately? With just under two months to go before Election Day, Obama kicked off the fall campaign season Monday with an aggressive speech targeting Republicans. But it was an off-script moment in the speech that's attracted the most attention, as Obama accused his GOP critics of talking about him "like a dog.""Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time -- and they're not ...
Let's Talk Issues....smAug 01, 2012
Since it has been brought up that libs supposedly don't want to talk issues, let's do just that... Issue 1: Foreign policy: What exactly is it that Romney would do different from Obama in the middle east? Issue 2: Besides trying to kill Obamacare and therefore healthcare for tons of people, as well as lowering taxes for the rich, what is it exactly that Romney would do to improve the economy? I'm assuming pubs have the answers to these questions as they are so sure that Romn ...
Doctors Trying To Talk Down To Me, Really?Mar 19, 2013
I am wondering if others run into what I have or is this just me who seems to have a bull's eye on them and others think they can say what they want and I will not respond. Anyway, this morning I went back to the ophthalmologist, had cataract surgery about 3 weeks ago. I noticed the first visit the day after surgery he seemed a little put off like he might have been a little huffy but nothing else happened that time. This morning we were talking and I was telling him about not being able to ...
