How do you go about getting mental help?
This is spawning from the guy who killed those women at the Gym. I have heard several people say that this guy knew he had issues so why didn’t he try and get help? I would like to know how exactly you go about that. Do you walk into your Primary care physician’s office and say “Hi! You know I am not doing so well today or any other day for that matter. I feel like killing women because I am rejected. Can you help?”
I know I am biased because I don't trust doctors. I pretty much think they are all there to send their offspring to college and that has pretty much been my experience. So then the scenario for me changes to “Hi! I think you are an overpaid a§§ that needs to send you kids to school and don’t give a darn about my issues but since I have nowhere else to go I figured I would ask for your help anyway even though I really feel like you just want to put me on a lifelong drug that is going to do me more harm then good.”
I know most of you feel like I am rambling but the reason I ask is because someone pointed out to me that my attitude and the way I feel about life is just like this guy (however I have been laid in the last decade) and I don’t own guns because of my anger issues, for obvious reasons. So really how do I get help?
I don't feel like doctors are going to try and help me yet I feel like if I contiune on the path I am on it won't be pretty. Where do I turn?
Just like him, I have few friends, I don't like people, and anger, rage and hatred are the emotions I feel everyday.

You can call the Mental Health Association and tell them you need to see someone. They will ask you why and you say anger issues and then you
will be given a few phone numbers.
They give services on a sliding fee scale so you can get help at a very low cost.
The number is in the phone book and online.

There are many ways you can seek mental help.You can go to your local mental health center, go to your local hospital ER and they can get a psych consult for you, you can get a recommendation from your regular doctor, or you can call your local physician finder. The important things are that you seek help and that you find someone you are comfortable with.
Not all doctors are only concerned with putting their kids through some ivy league college. I work at a hospital and we have many doctors that really care about their patients. Just give them a chance to help you. You might be surprised. I also want to point out that you don't have to take drugs. You can refuse anything you don't want to take. Tell your doctor up front that you're uncomfortable with being put on some drug that you'll have to take from now on. If you have the right doctor, s/he will listen to you. If they don't, find a new doctor.

Good then keep these emotions out of the reaches of other people. The fellow was not aware he had a mental disorder in a fact he was not in a conscious state of mind where he could make a moral judgment. No and he didn't just break down, he anticipated the moment. The same scenario happens when a person commits suicide, it is still a moral issue, but the person has such a state of mental anguish and which is not allowed to express itself outside the mind that he/she exhibits destructive violence and after wards to the self. Incidentally we all have a potential to kill each other....I said a potential.

Find a doctor or a counselor that you CAN trust. You don't necessarily need medication, so if they try to put it like that then move on to the next doctor. Just don't give up. Sounds like you know you need help - the next step is actually getting it. Don't make excuses like "I don't trust doctors, they're just going to drug me" that's just putting off the actual getting help part. Find someone you trust and go from there.
