Thanks, Sunrise. Yes, that's my situation. I don't own a car, so I generally need to use public transit to get around. Sometimes I can borrow a car, but the typical situation is that I'm on public transit. I don't volunteer that information, but if the counselor or therapist is some distance from me, the topic arises. These things don't come up over the phone, but at the first session (which was the case with this most recent fellow). Still, I thought it was a crazy reason to nix the whole thing, and I'd never had that happen before. Unfortunately, it's not something I can fix, either.

I don't really know what else to do in terms of continuing to search for a counselor right now. I've been searching so hard and so long.....I'm running out of options. It's very disheartening. I know on the one hand, given my symptoms at the moment, I need to be talking to someone, but I can't seem to find somebody who will see me, I can reach by public transit, and I can afford, etc. I don't know what the solution is. Anyway, thanks a lot for listening. I appreciate it a whole bunch.

Take care,
