Thank you very much for being here for me, for us, for yourself

Something bad is happening in Israel's mental health; From 1st July, whoever is not diagnosed with mental illness won't be eligible to get treatment. Which means that my treatment will stop. All mental health clinics that were under government's responsibility are going to be part of the Health Maintenance Organizations, whose main interest is economical one. As many other diagnoses, cyclothymia won't be treated.
People who got 'serious' diagnoses, are going to receive up to 12 session with therapist, and only the severe cases will get up to 30 session for a year.
I won't elaborate more.

I meet my therapist twice a week now. Going from that to zero sessions - terrifies me.
I'm not sure I can afford a private therapist but I will have to cut down my other expenses I guess. I just can't imagine myself surviving without therapy now.
