Thanks guys. I wish I could. I have looked in to the community mental health center before but because of all the budget cuts the stupid governor has brough upon them they only take people on medicaid now. I can't get medicaid because according to DSHS I'm not disabled (although I'm in the process of fighting that) and I don't have a child. It's another reason that I wish I hadn't miscarried although a very small one. It's not like I want my child back just to get help but it would be a lot easier. Of course right now I probably wouldn't be a very good mother. As far as sliding fee clinics the cheapest one around here is $40 a session. I can't even afford that because I only get $120 a month. I wish there were counselors around who would take on patients for free. Yes I know that they have bills to pay but counselors make enough that they can take a few a week that really need help. It almost seems like a lot of them are in it for the money. I wish more counselors were like Dr. Drew. When I've talked to him I can tell that he genuinely cares. When I can get myself fixed I'm going to go back to college and get my chemical dependency counselor degree and will see some people even if they can't pay. Lawyers have to do a certain amount of pro bono work a year. Why don't they do something like that with therapists? Mental health is more important than a lawsuit.

I've emailed Dr. Drew about possibly getting on Lifechangers so that I can get help through them and the aftercare budget so it we'll see what happens. Dr. Drew has already helped me so much it would be nice to finally get to meet him, give him a big hug and get the chance to thank him in person.
