First let me say I live in North Carolina but was facing the same scenario about a year and a half ago and let me tell you it is not as easy as it should be. You can try going to your local mental health department, they might be able to help you get into a public detox or treatment center. Don’t let this discourage you but it is a pretty involved process you will be interviewed and they will see if you are a candidate for it, and there will be a little bit of a waite until there is a bed. You can also try what I did…grab a phone book, look up “substance abuse” and sit there all spun out going through the list calling places until you find something. Good luck and don’t give up.

Question by Truth: Do I need help or can I handle this on my own?
I know this is a problem, I’m not in denial but really, does anyone think it’s worth getting help for?
When I was 15 I cut myself for the first time. I’ve always felt down about myself and admittingly don’t have a lot of confidence but I’m not sure why I did it that first time. I didn’t do it again till a year later when I started to feel extremely stressed and overwhelmed with school, and also felt really alone. I had friends but we were never close. Well I continued to do it for about 4 months, taking careful care to keep it hidden, and no one ever noticed, but I just stopped at one point… now I’m 21 have started doing it again. I’m dealing with a very stressful break up and have let my feelings effect my grades in school and relationship with friends by becoming really withdrawn. The thing is, I’ve always been able to stop so I feel like since I recognize it’s wrong and know what’s causing it, I’ll stop when I’m ready, but then why am I still doing it? I feel guilty after.
I should also add that I’m still in contact with the guy I broke up with even though he cheated, lied and treated me like crap while we were together and has made my life hell since, but I feel like if I don’t keep talking to him, he’ll make things even worse.
