With no income I only have some options, so far the local mental health center thing offers a sliding scale fee...my mom said she'd pay for the appointments and such so I'll see if that is any help. But yeah there is no grantee I will get a good therapist if I cannot afford it.

But other then that I will probably get frusterated and stop going if i get the impression they cannot actually help with an official diagnoses and possibly getting on SSI. I mean I cannot talk my way out of no income to a therapist...and I have not only tried with one person I've tried at least 3 times ever since I attempted suicide when I was 15. But then I don't even want to care about money like that.....its just a matter of I kind of need it to get out of the house once in a while, provide gas money to friends in family if they give me a ride or just have bus money so I can get places without having to ask for rides and well if I want to actually move out (rather than just packing a back pack and going homeless because I feel bad about burdening my family and am afraid of them seeing me at my worst), I'd need it to help with rent and living costs somewhere.
