All trauma survivors deal with different things. Histories, symptoms and healing rates. That being said, everyone's different as they deal with trying to get help at certain times. How do you do handle this when it feels like no one wants to listen to you?
Because of the lousy global economy (call it what it is. A depression), budget cuts continue to hit mental health support networks. This means one or all of these could happen.
A crisis line might tell you sorry, but we only can help people in our local area. For long term therapy, you need to see a therapist in your area. Some might have a problem with guy rape survivors and try to blow you off.
How do you cope with this when it happens? We understand that like other professionals, therapists don't like to be ripped off for free therapy. However, how do you define "support"? How do you define "getting help when necessary"? You feel like you have a crisis and need to get help. Just having someone listen can in many cases be a big help.
What happens if you try several places and nobody wants to listen? Where do you go then?
At various times, we try to link to sources that we feel will be helpful and not judgemental in any way. Beyond you clicking on a link, we have no control over what happens next. If you can suggest a link or have problems with one listed, let us know. Even with no personal assistant, we still manage to cover things.
Have a nice day.
Since there's no instant cure for trauma, how do you deal with it? Break it down into small increments so it feels "manageable".
