It sounds like you have a lot going on. There are some really good sites out there that help you locate a therapist. You can just go to any random therapist and want to make sure who you go to has what you need. do you want a woman or a man? do you want medication or natural therapy? are you willing to travel? how much can you afford? do they do pro bono work? these are all good questions to be asking even though I know you need help right now--- youre going to have to doctor shop a little. Heres some sites for you to try that may help you out. I'm not from your area but a lot of psychologists and psychiatrists will advertise online.

Try the first and then the last two. you can fill out a questionaire, search online, look around your zip code, search your state. etc. If none of these work, try googling "find a psychologist/psychiatrist in my area" and then click a few sites and they will have options to help you search for someone in your area. I had a friend who did this and actually found a good therapist to work with. Hope I helped some!

If all of this is true, you've been through a lot, and at an early age. It is completely understandable that you feel like this. There is a greek saying "The wrongdoings of parents plague their children". People can help. Try and find somebody you trust. You probably haven't sat down and talked to someone. Medication will help you, but if you don't start talking and working through all of these very serious issues they will keep affecting your life and your wellbeing. Always keep in mind that you weren't responsible for any of this. These are things that happened to you, out of your control.
I would like to know what you are going to do, but, alas, we cannot communicate this way. And if you feel alone right now, remember that you have yourself, even if you hate yourself (as you say), you must learn to love yourself, as you deserve. Try and take care of yourself, even if the people who were supposed to do it in the first place didn't.

P.S. I would avoid "cognititive behavioral therapy" as it is called. I think the best is to have someone to listen to you, without giving you "self esteem booster" tasks, etc. to complete.

ow honey first stop all these negative thoughts. go out find a job you will only lose it if you do wrong or bad but if you work hard you simply wont start looking and applying.speak to someone i don't know about the new your thing but their are plenty of numbers you can call look on the internet. I know how it fells to have no self es-team but the only way to get it back is to build it back by going out sorting yourself / life out trying to cheer yourself up by going out and treating yourself or even sumin stupid like dancing round the room to a fab tune.get in touch more with your friends.Of course you deserve love everybody does (apart from nasty Wicked evil people) and their is someone out their that will give it to you, sorry to be blunt but you just need to get up get out their even if you don't want to face stepping out the door get out ,do things,cheer yourself up go on one of these dating sites. don't keep hunting yourself with past memories their are in the past now its time for you to make your future. you say you feel alone,unhappy do sumin about it. you can go to your doc for anti depressant.think about building a positive brighter futer you just have to step out you can do it. The reason you shouldn't jump off a balcony right now is because you were born to live and you can have a job,girl/boyfriend,car money a normal happy life with treats and someone that loves you so that's why u r not going to jump off or whatever is going through your mind. you gotta make the first move though start by going out then finding a job , then a relationship and on. Hope iv helped a bit you will be ok hang on in their. all the best and GOOD LUCKxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(212) 532-2400 This is a number for a New York helpline, they should be able to help you. Don't give up, it can all be healed through many different various natural healing methods over time.

Oh man! This got me very emotional! For someone your age, you have been through a lot in your life! No one should have to go through any of it! Considering that you have though, you're an amazingly strong person though. I know it may not seem like it now, but you really are!

With the emotional trauma caused by the *rolls eyes* Father-Of-The-Year-Material you grew up with, your brother's problems dealing with it, being beaten and bullied by school mates, the self-esteem/worth issues, fear of rejection in your personal and professional lives, it's no wonder you're feeling like this - who wouldn't?

As for who to see in your area? You can either go to http://www.yellowpages.com/ and do a zip code search for psychiatry or go to http://locator.apa.org/ and use the American Psychological Association's Psychologist locator tool.

Given what you have been through already, I would have suspected you would be a Serial Killer reading what you have described. (No, I'm not being facetious.) You really have turned out well given the circumstances, as far as I'm concerned - it could have turned out much worse.

You do seem like a fairly level headed, nice guy who was just dealt an extremely crappy, unfair hand in life, and you need to get some help. To me, you're just like anyone else who got dealt a lousy hand: a nice person who deserves to be cared for and loved, but needs help to see past the depression before he realizes it for himself.

Good luck. If you need anything, there's an email me link in my profile. Feel free to use it anytime. *hugs!*
