Maybe look for Recovery, Inc. meetings in your area. There teach coping skills like what you you learn in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (have been to Recovery meetings & do DBT weekly--very helpful w/my bipolar symptoms & have been able to decrease some dosages & even get off some meds).

Also, most of the women in my DBT group have their therapy & meds paid for by Medicaide (or is it Medicare?). I don't know the ins & outs of it, but they get full coverage through gov't programs. Your pdoc &/or therapist should know about this. Plus, you may be able to get on disability.
