Hey, I haven't posted here for a long time so let me update you on what the crack is. I got involved with some shady dudes, somebody got robbed and it got put on me and somebody attempted to kidnap me; this is 3 months ago. My mental health has been slowly deteriorating and I have been going through very manic phases. I am very paranoid and nearly overdosed the Sunday before this one gone. I am wondering what to do, and where to go from here. I have been increasingly paranoid, very intrusive thoughts and I have been very depressed. My physical health is at an all time low, also. Will a doctor be able to help me? Bi-polar and alcoholism are very common in my family, but I am much more peaceful, kindhearted and approachable then anyone in my family. I just want to chill and smoke weed, and think about things. It seems these people are intent on hurting me and I am, again, unsure what to do. Should I tell a doctor all of this?
seeing a doctor sounds like a good idea. you will probably be prescribed a mood stabilizer like lithium. it's hard to separate out what is a mental health issue and any real danger that you might be in from others. this organization might be able to help or to refer you to help: they seem to be focused on housing issues, but they may be able to help out. going to the police about people trying to kidnap you might be a good idea, but you will probably want to talk to a counselor who can help you through the process. good luck, and hope that things get better soon!
