Now I have alters fighting over who has rights to what in life, alters denying everyone else what they need, alters that retraumatize the system, alters that have relapsed into anorexia to the point that i am getting ill, alters that have daily panic attacks and insomnia... And what can i get? Bandaid treatment.
My life is a wreck. I hate the mental health system. But i cant just call it quits, i have to be seeing someone, even if they are unqualufied, even if they make things worse. Or the state will decide im not in therapy because i got better and cut off my social security.
The world doesnt care.

That must be so frustrating. I do have a friend on Medicaid (is that what you're calling Obamacare?)who sees a wonderful DID therapist in our state. There is a huge shortage of therapists in this country and she just got very lucky to find one near her. I'm on Medicaid too, and have a good trauma therapist for my PTSD but it took a
long time to find her. I'm thinking I saw my regular therapist for 3 years before I found my trauma therapist. Actually, it was my regular therapist who told me about the trauma T who joined the group or I would never have known.
It was frustrating looking for so long but I was glad I kept at it. I would say don't give up. Keep looking. Eventually you'll find somebody helpful.
