hi
I got on to disabiity and medicare. lost both of my psychotherapists who are not covered by medicare. Now I found out yesterday that I will have to pay the psychiatrist half of what she charges medicare because they only pay 50% for psychiatrists. I said thats awful. She coldly answered that its because they expect people to have supplimental insurance. If I could afford that i would have it for sure.

So here I am agoraphobic. lost two therapists and can only now go to the pdoc once every 10 weeks, because thats all I can afford.

I cannot go to a practitioner who is covered by medicare ( many psychologists are) because my life is about spiritual awareness. I cannot seperate that from the mind. And I cannot risk trying again at this time. I can barely scrape myself out of bed. I am sorry to be complaining. I just keep running up against bad news. So much so that I finally disconnected my voice mail. Just cant take more of people telling me bad news. I know it could be worse. But being agoraphobic for many years, living alone, and losing support system just has me in a pretty challenging place. Sorry for dumpling all of this. Just feeling very sad and hurt and in dispair.
