I understand exactly what you are saying and I don't blame you for being upset.

I was just talking with someone about this very issue this morning--about the lack of affordable or free mental health services right when so many people need them the most. It didn't always used to be this way. Twenty years ago we had a big sliding scale clinic and some people weren't charged anything--PLUS all kinds of subsidized housing and social service programs.

Now there's just... nothing. You either pony up the cash or too bad. And it's no small amount of cash at that.

I think it's bad for everyone when it's like this. People go off meds they need, they can't function--it hurts the whole society.

Hang in there. Can you call the drug company and see if you can get free meds? I know it's a long shot but some of them will do that.

12-step programs aren't therapy but they are free and can be very helpful. I've made some great friends there. Good luck to you.
