Terrified. Advice?

It's not that we really need a diagnosis, but we do desperately need someone to help. Just letting this go and dealing with it ourselves isn't an option. There are several other issues that have gotten constantly worse over many years; most of them just happen to have some relation to this. On top of that, the two alters I really want to get help for are both suicidal and one of them constantly tries to self-harm. On top of that, as the host I'm literally unable to work because my anxiety is so severe. The fact that the people we go to for help keep dropping us and running keeps leaving us in a worse position than we were to begin with.

Gotta find a way to not harm or be sucidial. Got children? Family that cares? Religious at all? Go back to being detached for the sake of safety. Ask for inner self helpers gloat on ur achievement accomplishmeets thus far in spite of the condition.

If it's not intrusive to ask. What reason did she give for cancelling the appointment? And did she say anything about rebooking? It's probably silly. But I'm hoping that there's a chance that an emergency came up for her. And that it's not a permanent "no, she doesn't feel she has the experience to help you."

Sorry for the late response. I lost the login info.

We're single, childless, confused about religion, and keep to ourselves a lot. I have friends but Ace and R don't really show much interest in trying to make friends at all. There are only a few people who even know they exist. I don't think much will stop them if they decide life isn't worth it. It's left almost entirely up to me to keep trying to convince them otherwise.

As for the appointment, there was no reason given for cancelling. It was only afterward that we learned she was only going to be at the location for a few months and had never intended for this to be long-term, even though I went in under the impression that it would be (she gave me absolutely no clues about her job there only being temporary, let alone telling me directly). She also continued insisting on trying to push us off on someone else - whom, when we received their information, turned out to be someone with far fewer qualifications who would definitely not be equipped to help us.

We haven't been seeing anyone else since then. Managing alone is getting more difficult with my anxiety getting worse but I don't think we have much chance of finding someone else who might try to help.

Hi Tempo - don't know how health care works where you are (we are UK based) but first port of call for us is GP (doctor). If you are anxious and worried about SH then I would go back to Doctors and see if she/he can refer on.

This sounds exhausting for you Pixel. If things get really bad you need to speak with someone. If you get to see someone don't get bogged down in what you have read or researched just focus on what is happening for you in the here and now the other stuff will come out over time, The most important thing is to keep yourselves safe. ......
