How about a free clinic. I live in a rural area of Ohio and there are free clinics in each county. When I lived in Philadelphia there were tons of free or low income clinics. Even if you go and they bill you, all you have to pay is $5 per month to keep the account active and they can't send you to collections. I realize that even $5 per month is difficult for some people and clearly don't know your exact situation. Otherwise, do you have a family doc you can see to prescribe meds until you find another resource? Or maybe if you have a regular doc they may know of places for you to get help. I have used online therapists in the past and it was helpful but often times if you can find a private in-person therapist they are often able to do a better sliding scale to work with you on the costs. Online therapists have difficulty using the sliding scale b/c many work through an online database and they have to pay for membership to it where in-person Ts don't have that added expense. Again, I don't know what your exact situation is but hopefully you can access some resources. In the mean time, take good care!!
