I could go if it was free, otherwise I'm out.
I did have a little trouble with the "zen" parts of the program. I think I did benefit from it for a while, I was still on a lot of klonopin during that time which means my memory of it is shady. Shame isn't it?
It would help if I could afford a therapist right now, maybe I will find another insurance company that has lower or zero copays. It's that time of year to change insurances. That is another soapbox issue! 
Maybe I would be 50% better and could cope with all this if I could get some sleep! This is day 5 of getting very little sleep. I doze off for a bit after 2 am then I am awake from 3am until way later, daylight until I get a little 3 hour nap. It is just not enough! Makes everything seem awful. Something's gotta give!  |
I am sorry that finances have gotten in the way of getting some needed help for you. I wish that insurance weren't so darn complicated!
Definitely check out that website, for DBT, it is full of information & also very helpful.
DBT Self Help
The other idea that I have is checking your area to find clinics and T's that accept patients on either a sliding-scale or pro-bono. It does take a little bit of research and time, but finding these supports is key.
Many years ago, I suffered panic disorder & had way too many crummy nights of sleep. My life was hell, and I didn't even have children back then.
I can somewhat understand how hard things have been for you.
Thinking of you ~ gentle hugs
