I have issues I need to discuss?

[vman]

Specifically, I have problems that are taking over my life. I know my problems aren't any bigger than any other person's problems, but I still don't feel comfortable talking with anyone I know about them. The problems I am talking about have been hounding me for months, and they are affecting my friendships, I still do stuff with my friends But even in a group, I still feel alone and don't want to talk to any of them because I feel they don't want to be around the depressed guy. Which just makes me look like the depressed guy.. It's starting to affect my job. I can't seem to get as much done anymore because I can't stop thinking about these things.

I just want to know if there is like a number I can call nationally to talk to someone professional, that won't judge me, about these issues.

I would be more specific, but really, the fact that I have these problems freaks me out, and I don't want to freak you out.

Call your local suicide hotline. Gaurenteed they will have one, even if you aren't contemplating suicide.

If you are, go to the hospital, check yourself in. It will work wonders, I have gone and it was very good to get away.

Get a therapist. Perfect, safest way. This is the best choice. i know calling a hotline meant for the suicidal, and checking into a mental ward are things that might make you anxious and make you think, omg I'm crazy! But lots of people see therapists, and it's nothing abnormal, so for your sanity, I think this is the best choice.
