I just saw this.
It did help alot now that I am feeling better and gave me some clarity. The issue is I am always the one who is helping and I am having a hard time excepting that I am the kit who needs the help in a major way. I am against meds and therapy because I don't want to change how I feel by altering my chemicals I want to stabilize and normalize my self. Therapy seems like I will just get told what I should hear to. Normalize and not reality.
I think I can pull through this but dunno for sure.

I think you can and will pull through this. As for meds and/or therapy, I respect your decision, but I can share my experiences with both. First, I've seen a few therapists, and in my experience they're more about listening then they are suggesting what you should do -- sometimes irritatingly so. I found that the process can help uncover some pretty unhealthy or "magical thinking," such feeling responsible for things you logically could have no control over. I've found that sometimes just saying something aloud can be enough to loosen the stranglehold of some pretty nasty feelings.
As for meds, they're not for everybody. A good psychiatrist will work with you to find what works better/best. Ideally, you should feel more like yourself, not less. Feeling like you're struggling through thick mud or an endless black tunnel is usually off-kilter brain chemistry, not your true self. Sadness can be a normal, natural response to real events, but when it goes on too long, it can cause more permanent or at least tenacious changes to your brain. Meds can help reset things, and help get you into a better position to make some of the longer-term changes you want in your life.
I guess I'd just like to encourage you to keep an open mind and do some research. If you have insurance that would cover it, it might not hurt to try seeing a therapist and be upfront about misgivings. Ask questions. Hear what they have to say, see how you feel about the interaction. If you still want nothing to do with the process, you're not out anything more than 50 minutes of your time.
I have forgiven my self. It hurt to do but I did it. I still don't feel better It almost feels like I am trying to pick up broken glass. I dropped it and then it shattered now picking up the shards I keep getting cut. I would say that is a fair analogy. But today I am gonna go wheeling I thinks

One of the things I've heard from therapists is that it can feel worse before it feels better. If you pull out a shard of glass, it's going bleed a bit before it starts to heal.
A day outside sounds great.
Oops.
Loads of fun but I dunno if that is a good idea for me to be alone for that long I might start to think
