Thanks everyone.
The using the mental health center at school was my dad's idea. I was totally against it but needed to make sure I wasn't just being overly sensitive. Thanks for backing me up.
Chaotic-
As for keeping my current pdoc i don't think that would work because I don't think he would be comfortable seeing me every couple of months (right now I see him every month.) While I am moving from "home" it is not where I grew up so there is no long term connection for me to return to if I were trying to see my pdoc over breaks. He definitely spoke of making sure I had continuing care wherever I went to grad school, so I don't know if that would work.
I would love to keep my T and do phone sessions forever, however, they don't really work well for me. I take a lot of time to think about my answers and what I am going to say. When we have had to talk on the phone because I have been in a crisis it makes it hard because she is always wondering if the connection has been lost.
Sunrise- thanks for the idea about the pharma companies programs. I have actually looked at them before. The only problem this time is that I would still have support for my medications (just not my psych ones). I will check, but I think you have to have no support for any medications.
I know that for undergrad my health insuarnce was bad, I just didn't realize that it would be so extremely bad for graduate school. I guess I just thought that for some reason it would have to be better because it just would.
Thanks for all the ideas. I will try and see if I can find low cost clinics in the area etc.
