I need help! If any one in the mental health or insurance industry can help you could be saving a life. ?Hi. I am 17 years old and I suffer from bipolar, depression, ADHD, and drug/alcohol addiction. I've been in an acute inpatient facility three times since this past July with my last time being in late October early November. I was put into an inpatient facility because my drug binges were so bad that I was continuously overdosing on drugs and getting alcohol poisoning in hopes that I would die. I've been sexually assaulted by my brother, my cousin, and one other guy that I didnt know and raped by one of my guy friends. I watched my neighbor get murdered which was also very traumatic. I am not some whiny teenager who wants to kill themselves over small stuff. I am severally mentally ill and despite numerous of psychiatrists, phsychologists, and family/friend letters and recommendations for me to get out in a long term residential treatment center my insurance company has denied me any more treatment even at an outpatient facility. My parents can't afford to pay for me to go into a long term facility but between me having a severe drug addiction to coke, meth/heroin based ecstasy, and downers and my mental illnesses I really believe that I need help as soon as soon as possible. What can I do? Are there any free inpatient treatment centers? Is there anyway I can force mybinsurance company to cooperate with us (even though we tried 3 time)? I am extreamly in danger of dying and I need legitement help. I live in Texas. Please help me I beg you to help me.

Hun, unfortunately the reasons why the insurance companies won't help you anymore, is most likely because you have tried to end your life. BUT hope is not all lost, ok? Here is what you have going for you: a WANT to get help and get better. Find support groups. These are usually free, and although not as good a professional help, you will find people who can relate, who will listen, and have stories that they can share as well. You will feel like a part of a group, like you belong, you won't feel alone or like no one can know what it feels to have gone through what you are going through. I am really sorry for all the hard times you have been through, I can only imagine how you have felt at times. But keep looking for help, never lose hope because it is never hopeless!!

"Transit umbra, lux permanet" I have this quote tattooed on my back so I will never forget why moving forward is the best thing to do, it means, "Shadow passes, light remains". Never give up hope!!!

Start calling law firms looking for one that will take on your case. You want to find one that specializes in working with insurance companies. Sometimes a well-worded letter from a law firm can make all the difference. There are also insurance specialists who are experts in working with insurance companies: try to find one.

You should also check with the local United Way to see if they know of any way you can get help.

If you are awake in Texas, you are up late and suffering. I hope that you are not living with anyone that has sexually assaulted you. Get a social worker involved so he/she can find more resources for you. Try Alcoholics Anonymous and ask if anyone there knows of free inpatient treatment centers or how to work with insurance. Keep asking people.
