I hope no one thinks of me as crazy or ridiculous but I need more advice and I didnt' really know where else to turn....Here's my problem and request...I need a "third party" to talk to, u know, a psychiatrist or something. I feel silly for asking but does anyone know a good one who is reasonable as far as price? I have a lot on my mind and in my head and I'd finally just like to clear it. I understand if when u read this u think I'm ridiculous or crazy because I kinda think i am... I've always had things together and nemore I have no idea how to move forward after everything that's happenend...
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for everyone's input and advice! It made me feel better about asking for help. I can't begin to thank you enuff. I am privilaged to have you all here and honored because of the ppl I've met. Thank you very much!!! I haven't gone to counseling yet, but I will as soon as insurance kicks in. Thank you all very much and I will keep you all updated!!
DO NOT feel ridiculous! You are doing the right thing by getting help, that is why there are professionals to assist. Unfortunately, I do not know anyone in your area, but try asking your Ob/Gyn, or any doctor you go to. You can call local free clinics to ask who is available. Catholic charities is good if nearby. Don't give up if you get someone who you don't "click" with, keep trying. Good luck, you can do it and you'll feel better in time!
Dear A.,
Please DO NOT feel rediculous for asking for help. I just recently started seeing a counselor and it has been the best thing for me. I needed a "third party" like you said you needed and I finally called and got help. I first called my insurance company and had them give me some referrals under my insurance in my area. If insurance is a problem then many churches have mentors that may be able to help you for free. I hope this helps you and if you need to talk in private let me know. Life is hard enough, so don't feel alone, a lot of us need a ear to talk to and a shoulder to lean on. Take care.

I can't remeber the name of the place, but there is a counseling center behind the White Castle that is across from Northgate mall that works on a sliding scale. They are very good there and should beable to work out payment arrangments with you if finances are an issue and you have no insurance. I hope it helps.
p.s. you don't sound crazy, infact you are very smart asking for help before the problem progresses.

First off don't feel ridiculous asking. I'm sure many other women, not just mothers have felt the smae. Before my daughter was bron I needed the same thing, just a third party person, with no relations to me to talk to. I highly recommend Virginia Peppers with Therapeutic Collaborative. Here is all of her information.

I know it may be a drive for you. I live in the Kenwood, Maderia, Silverton Area, but I would drive down to her. She's very good at listen to all you have to say and helps you to guide yourself in the right direction. I didn't have insurance at the time when I saw her. Just call and ask for her to call you back she will work with you.
If you have any more personal concerns please feel free to contact me privately if you'd like.
Like Maggie said, you're doing the right thing by asking,. And sdon't let this sit. If Virginia dosn't seem to click with you keep looking, and looking , and looking some more till you find someone who listens and clicks with you.
Its important you take care of you first, so you can take care of those you love. Good Luck! And please keep me posted, if you feel comfortable in doing so.
