(53,949 posts)I saw in another response you aren't sure where to turn, I'd like to suggest the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Their hotline is 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or info@nami.org . While they are only open during the week, and they don't provide counseling, they may be able to help point you in a direction for your area where you can get some help, or a friendly ear.
Sometimes, it does help just to vent to strangers, like DU, but to work out some issues, you can look for those trained to do it. I know many people are even afraid to broach the subject, but, just in case the need ever arises, National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1‑800‑273‑TALK (8255) (they also have a live chat feature you can find here). Don't ever feel ashamed or embarrassed to ask for or seek help!
I also saw in another post you talked about taking up photography again. There is a currently a photo contest in the Photography Group here at DU. Maybe give it a whirl! There are some crazy creative people in that group and they are very supportive and give great, supportive feedback.
Be well!
