I’m having a really hard time dealing w/ what I believe is postpartum depression. It’s gotten to the point where I cry constantly about everything. I get mad in an instant about most things. I get irrational, and sometimes even violent. There are times when I do inflict some pain on myself – just to, I dunno release the frustration or something…
Most of the time all of my anger and irrationallity is taken out on my boyfriend, and I feel so guilty about this. I feel horrible as soon as I stop – a lot of the times I feel horrible in the midst of chaos.
Yet, even though I’m aware of what I’m doing – I can’t seem to control myself. And it’s driving me crazy – and my boyfriend as well.
I’m tired of being angry, depressed, enraged,feeling helpless & without control of myself.
I really want help for this. But, I don’t know where to go, seeing how I have no insurance. I need to find some place in Southeastern Michigan where I could possibly go to.
Could anyone offer any insight?

Hi! There is a counseling center at Oakland University in Rochester. They are students about to graduate. It’s free! I don’t have a direct # though. Call the Oakland county health department and tell them you are suffering from mental health issues with no insurance. I live in Macomb county and I called the MCHD and they gave me a hot line #, who then gave me the # to OU. I had the exact same problems as you. I went to my family doctor instead and he put me on Zoloft which has changed my life completely. I am myself again. Everyone gets moody, but I was over the top. Best wishes! Good for you for knowing you have a problem and wanting to make a change!!!
Try the county mental health system
If you are employed, but don’t have insurance, most companies have an employee assistance program that can help, chk and find out who yours is
