I'm sure that the community of therapists will be full of people requesting this (yournew mental health program sounds HORRIBLE) but maybe you'll be able to find someone who can see you at a low cost. I've been able to do that here in the US where few providers take my insurance (the govt. insurance for the elderly and disabled) because it pays so little. For my case it was also a matter of I am in a good place with my current therapist and changing would be bad for me. If I could even find someone to see me it wouldn't be someone who was as well-suited as my current therapist and he knew that as well as I did (and for a long time I had no insurance and when I did they wouldn't pay for him anyway). But maybe there is some kind of hope out there. (?) I have no idea how your system works, of course. Do you have someone who would bump your diagnosis up into a bipolar NOS or bipolar II just to get you treatment? It is hard to determine after all so there would probably be some level of question on that. I'm sure none of this is original, I'm just throwing out any idea I have. I can't imagine being in that situation. Even 30 visits per year wouldn't be nearly enough.
