If you are in the U.S. text HOME to 741-741 and the suicide hotline is 1-800-273-8255. If you are looking for a therapist I'd suggest Psychology Today.com, as there is a search engine to find either a face to face or virtural therapist.  Ordinary People (1980) Directed By: Robert Redford Starring: Mary Tyler Moore, Timothy Hutton, Donald Sutherland Running Time: 124 Minutes  Frances (1982) Directed By: Graeme Clifford Starring: Jessica Lange, Sam Shepard, Kim Stanley Running Time: 140 Minutes Gaslight (1944) Directed By: George Cukor Starring: Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotton Running Time: 114 Minutes The Three Faces of Eve (1957)  Directed By: Nunnally Johnso...
