There are many clinics that work on sliding scale fees based on income. Many states also have mental healthcare services that are low cost to no cost for those who are struggling financially.

I've utlized all these services at one time or the other, and whenever I find myself with a little extra dough to toss around now, I make donations to these types of clinics so it can help others who are struggling to get their mental healthcare needs met.

Being a survivor of child sexual abuse and domestic violence, I tend to send money to organizations who provide low cost to no cost services to others who are struggling to overcome the long term and often debilitating effects of all that.

But, don't you worry about helping others right now ... Find and utilize the services you need for you until you are in a better space, then you can choose a way to give back and help others.

I'd personally not want anyone that poo-poo'd the seriousness of my struggles to be involved in my process in any way ... FAMILY INCLUDED ... !!!

I believe it would be counterproductive to your process to continue trying to find a way to skirt around all that ... It would be much better to focus all that energy on getting the help you need on your own so you can heal and recover hindrance free.

This is based on my own experiences and only in my humble opinion, of course.
