Try to reach out to your local NAMI despite feeling so low. Perhaps make a date in the very near future to sit down, pencil and paper in hand, and start the ball rolling with phone calls, asking for resources, support, etc.
Yes, you can continue on line...but it's always better to be in a group together and hear other stories - in person - just like your own, or even worse, and share together.
Good luck to you!
