Maria, don't give up - God has a purpose for you because HE loves you! I think sometimes we find ourselves painfully alone so that we can realize that God is with us and will never leave us alone. I looked up mental health services in Des Moines and found several. I do not know this Clinic-only what they on their website. If you want to look up others do a Google Search on "Des Moines Mental Health". God still does miracles and I am praying for yours! HE rescued me--I know HE can do the same for you!

@mariajean03 Thank you @buyearly, you make an excellent and important point.

Yes, if you feel unable to keep yourself safe it's important to reach out to people, organizations, and entities that can help you do so.

Feeling like you are alone and lack purpose can be common feelings but that doesn't make them any less painful.

I'm wondering if you feel that you are able to keep yourself safe?
