Where to find free online counseling?
Does anyone know where to find a free online place to talk to someone?…Anonymously and through a discussion board or email?
I know here is kind of like that, but I am too negative an influence for group discussions…and also some subjects would probably be too sensitive for this format.
Thank you.

I was told The Good Samaritan Ministries does online counseling. I was seeing a counselor in person when I lived in Washington State. They work by donation only. I've moved to Iowa and will be looking into the online counseling through them. In person counseling is located in the western states. I hope this helps!
I used CBT on myself -- it is basically Thinking Clearly -- to make sure that I do not end up AGAIN with unable to breathe in the middle of the night. I was told by the emergency doctor I had an anxiety attack. 'Me, anxiety? I am retired" I told her. 'What you're telling me is an anxiety attack symptom,' she assured me.
Later. as I got home, I had to confront MYSELF and say in life, sometimes many years of your full-time effort can end up of No Use to others for whom you may be working for. It still now and haunts me momentarily but I know in life we don't get what obviously makes sense. There are always things going to be outside one's control -- and therefore accepting this Truth is only the sensible way to get on with whatever time I am given. Sure I utter expletives when nobody could hear me except my cat when I see the carnage around me resulting in diseases just because NOBODY (agent) even cared to Look at my manuscript.
But I still try to do the good work that we all Can do -- and must do for our own good. So I give moral support or my insight where I think it might help. Yes, the good work starts with Self-good work. Good luck, fellow human.
