Obviously I can't vouch for any of these numbers but if you qualify for state assistance I think that's generally a good place to start.These organizations assess and adapt each region's behavioral health system and interact more with programs than consumers. The state of Florida has established 2-1-1 as the primary way for people seeking services to learn about community mental health programs and to receive help and guidance during a mental health crisis. In most parts of the state, dialing "211" will put you through to a crisis line or helpline offered by the local United Way for that region. Most people who answer the phones are equipped to respond to crises, though in certain areas, the United Way helpline and local mental health crisis line are separate. The following list of hotlines includes both 2-1-1 crisis lines and other crisis lines operated by DCF-funded programs.

It looks like a lot but obviously not all these numbers will be relevant JarredTomorrow maybe pick whatever your local area is and start there.
Other Floridians here may be of more help?.

Dee is on it! Look at all those numbers. WOW! Impressive.

Dr. Google is not a sound doctor.

I do think that if you gave yourself a good amount of sober time then it would become more clear as to what you are dealing with.

BPD is one of the diagnoses that is extremely hard to diagnose. Your awareness sounds to me like you may not have it but I am not a doctor. I thought I had all kinds of stuff and come to find out the alcohol was causing all the "all kinds of stuff" to take place. Its amazing what sober time can do. I hope you stick around. Post often. Use Dr. Googs sparingly!
