I am struggling with codependency and depression. I cannot afford therapy. What can I do to get help?

Try to talk to a friend, talk to someone on here that you click with and are able to talk long-term instead of just in one sitting.

First of all recognizing you need help is an important step and 7 Cups is a great(!) free way to get some.

You can call a helpline, speak to someone near you or close to you or speak to me for assistance. i am here for you.

Come to 7cups to at least talk to a free therapist here. And maybe listeners in between therapy. Call any depression centres available to you and seek help through free centres and websites.

Consult your doctor and see about medication or maybe speak to someone else going through the same things

the best help is the support and love of the people around you and you can always talk to us here on this site. I, personally would listen to you anytime you want.

Read about it, there are a lot of resources here on 7 cups and online in general. You can also talk to Listeners here or friends or connect with people who have been through this before.

That happens in many cases a person cannot afford therapy. But there are many organizations around the world which help depression patients free of cost. Based on your geographical location you can find them. You can also talk to listeners here. They are free of cost. You can go for reading. There are tons of books available for depression self help and codependency. I'm sure you can help yourself by all that.

First thing is the support from your loved ones, family and friends. Look for your local support groups they don't charge. Your always welcomed here on 7cups to speak with any of the listeners. I have also learned that the first three sessions on 7cups are free then its $150.00 Monthly. Sometimes your local Department of Social Services (DSS) or Social Security Administration (SSA) Office can always help you get you in contact with services that are affordable for you and can fir your budget!

You can always reach out to your loved ones to talk about what's bothering you. It's very helpful to have someone who can listen to you. Additionally, here at 7 cups you can find many listeners whom are willing to hear you out, and walk you through it one step at a time.
