Hi, I have no one to talk to and I am reaching a point of desperation. I am very afraid. My father died last year and I don't think I am over the grieving stage but I really don't know. Since he passed I have been working to better myself but I got fired from the job that I admired three weeks ago. Ever since then I have been in a downward spiral because I have been trying not to be depressed about the loss of my father. I dont know how to open up to people anymore either. This is the main reason I lost my job is because I work in an office setting so you see people every day And I am hiding a lot of pain so when people look at me and expect a reaction I just look down or keep looking forward to hide my pain that I would never ever ever want to share with anyone no one deserves to feel as horrible as I do. When I lost my job I started abusing drugs like molly and lsd and the reason for This is I think i have a genuine desire to be dead so I am mentally preparing myself for suicide by running the rest of what I have left into the ground. I want to have a wide and be happily married one day thats all I want. I think I have a psychological problem but I cannot receive help for it because I can't afford professional help. I am very terrified of myself because I have a gambling problem as well.
I understand that I am seen as weak at this time and I think that also may be one of my issues is that people's perception of me does not influence me at all at this point. I have lost all of my social skills and I don't even have social media. I am seen as weird by everyone.
I don't know if this is really advice , I just have nowhere to vent this out because I don't want my family to be stressed out knowing that I'm reaching the bottom of the barrel. I am ready to die because I am a loser who just drains resources and I do. I also just want to be dead with my father as well which is a huge motivating factor for my behavior.
Thank you for reading. May God bless you

Contact a local hospice and ask for a grief support counselor. They will offer support groups and likely some 1 on 1 sessions for free. If they charge you then go to a different hospice. Some funeral homes will do this as well, but start with hospices.
They will likely refer you out for the gambling problem, but the can tackle the grief with you.

This. It may be hard at first, but you have to force yourself to try. You're always in control of your own life. You only reach the "bottom of the barrel" when you give up. Good luck anon.
