Desperate, I have become a member of this site seeking help. I need to tell my life's story because at sixty three it is destroying me. Every day is a challenge and every day I sink lower and lower toward losing the fight. I am hoping there are others who can understand and relate to my life and what I am dealing with. If such a person exists?! What do I do and where do I go without seeking counseling in the area I live in? Do not wish to do that and really cannot afford if I did. Yes I have thoughts of terminating my life, but have no concerns, I have not the guts to attempt killing myself, at least no at this point. misfit
Hi there! Welcome to Empty Closets! I'm glad you have decided to join. (*hug*) Even though things are weighing on you at the moment, it will get better for you. You have acknowledged that you need help and are seeking it, which is already an important step in itself. I would encourage you to post and expand on your story in the LGBT Later in Life section of the forum, and try to speak with other members. Have you tried looking into support groups in your area that would allow you to connect with others? Is there a reason as to why you would not want to seek counselling (beyond monetary issues)?
