Hello! I found this website by searching "mental health help when you can't afford it," which is my current situation. I have struggled with chronic depression and anxiety for about 7 years now. I responded well to therapy and antidepressants for the first couple years, then started to improve and discontinued them both. I started to relapse about a year ago.

I had finally found a great therapist and was making progress when I was offered a job in a new city and had to take it. So now here I am, and my depression is worsening again. I am so lonely, being so far from my friends and family. I don't know anyone here. Work is stressful and not satisfying. I find myself feeling more and more alone and hopeless every day.

I know I should seek therapy and I plan to. Unfortunately my new jobs insurance doesn't kick in for 90 days after I start (about half of which is remaining). So I'm just looking for some kind words and support until that time.

Thanks for reading. Any advice or kind words would be welcome, especially if anyone has been In a similar situation before.
