I witnessed my stepson die by gun violence 8 months ago. My nightmares are vivid and awful. Im sick everyday. I have a lot on my plate career wise trying to get a foot in and I'm drinking a ton to cope. In CA and when I tried to get a therapist or mental health specialist I was basically told to walk in to a mhc. They basically said all I can do is claim suicidal thoughts or actions and they would commit me. I don't need that. I need to process this. I am on medi-cal so that's why I have no help. What do you reccomend?
