Who do you go to get advice/discuss personal problems?
Depression Support / by bluei9107

...See more Hello people. I'm just curious about what other people do to deal with their personal problems. And to whom you would go to talk about it. My generic guess would be that people would go to their family/friends/therapiest. All those options are not available for me. The main I issue I'm having trouble dealing with is my bipolar depression/ troubles I have with my spouse. I don't have my blood related family. I have in laws but it doesn't seem like a good option to talk about my marriage problem. My friends are just generic people with happy family and none of them are married yet. I know I can technically "talk" with them about my issues. But I also know that I would just be making them listen to my depressing stories. All I would get is their sympathy. I wouldn't be able to get any helpful advices. I've tried talking to psychologist and it's just the same. As a matter of fact, they just let me down by rattling everything about it to my family. I don't see a point of going to another one since they just sit and listen to your "problems" and that's it. Everything they say is generic that it's just everything I already know. I feel like other people are too old for them to take me seriously or too young to be able to grasp my issues. I've always felt this way ever since I can remember anything. Maybe from 3-5 years old. And hence, I've never talked to anyone about any serious I've been having. I try to keep relationships just pleasant and nice. But they are all just superficial and I cannot imagine myself trying to talk to them about anything serious.I've tried some talking before but they all just come bite back at me when I have quarrels with those people that I've tried opening up myself and I don't want to put myself into those situations anymore. But I desperately want to get advices. Actual helpful advices and I don't know where to possibly get them. None of the people I know of seems to be going through similar problems that I have.
