I tried to get into a clinical study locally for a new treatment for depression. Believe it or not, I was told I was too depressed for the study. Although they offered to give me information on cut-rate counseling, when I wrote to ask for it, no one ever got back to me.
You've probably already seen my post about writing to the local bar association.
I recently wrote to a website dedicated to lawyers with depression. And no, I've not heard back.
I rarely ask for help. Now that I have, I've been rejected from every source. I have no idea where to go next.
My husband pointed out I shouldn't take it personally, since none of these organizations know me from Eve, but when an organization states its purpose as helping those with depression and then doesn't even respond to a desperate plea for help, it's a little hard *not* to take it personally.
And so, I muddle through.
