Hi Monica,
I think it's important to have other significant relationships besides romanatic ones. That is my experience. I do not need the stress of a romantic relationship being the only one I can count on! I'm still encouraging your reaching out for other kinds of relationships. I found this site related to the MHA one we are on now, and it seems to be about support groups in your county.

Let me know is this sounds like something that would help you. Also if you have any particular mental health diagnosis or are just looking for general support here. There are alot of ways to search for these things and they are not always well advertised. Wrk

Dear Wrkradvct,
I don't have a mental health diagnosis, but use this website when I am dealing with psychosocial issues. Have several autoimmune related disorders. Can't drive, so I can't go to the golf tournament. Also, rotten golfer! (LOL!) Just was visiting dating websites and realize I need a romantic relationship along with all these acquaintances. Eventually, hope to have a small circle of friends and a romantic relationship. Thanks for reaching out.
Monica

Ok, Monica. Just so others on here don't find me foolish, I assume you saw that there was a support group for those with depression listed on the left side of that page I sent you. Good luck.

Was evaluated for mental illness and they came up with mild PTSD due to my situation (lost housing with only three weeks notice). Looked into support groups MHA offers and this is for people with Bi Polar and severe depression, among other issues. Looked at PROS in Beacon but do not qualify. Falling through the cracks. Don't know if you're familiar with Dutchess County, but very few support groups of ANY KIND, except for a few sponsored by MHA in Beacon and Poughkeepsie, and AA and Al-Anon. Families are encouraged to support their loved ones. Thank God, my two brothers step up to the plate, but they only help with physical stuff, not emotional support.

Dear Wrkradvct,
Have found my solution, and because it's private can't discuss it hear. Know you mean well, but am not interested in the Healing Energy. If I change my mind, will consider it in the future. Thank you for reaching out to me.
Monica

Ok thanks for the reply Monica. I don't tend to like groups like that healing energy one, either, but I find alot of people do. I was just trying to show there are things to be found even though they aren't always easy to find. I wish you well with your new solution.
