I spent $300.00 that I don't have going to a psychiatrist today. He prescribed for me an $80.00 medication that I cannot afford. Last week I sought help at a public mental health clinic that would have been cheaper, but they told me they cannot help me because they do not accept my insurance. I asked if there was anyway I could be seen and pay for services on a sliding scale. They gave me the crisis line number and said I would have to call that number and go thru a bunch of hoops basically to get an appointment. I broke down and told my husband that I went to see a psychiatrist today and now he is all upset. He wants me to quit my job. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like a total failure. I have had migraine headaches all week. I should have canceled the psychiatrist appt. and seen my medical doctor who is cheaper and friendlier. I am tired of having such a miserable life and I am probably better off dead than alive.
