Hello:

I am sorry you are going through so much right now; I think all of us here are trying to learn more about our mental health and are trying to network with others. If you cannot afford healthcare, you may be eligible for medically needy medicaid. It's worth a shot. Then there are, as you mentioned, facilities that offer services on a sliding scale. Also, there may be local clinics that are free. I think proper care is the best way to go.

I'll say this, I do not share your association with religion. Religion often forces people to not seek treatment or hinders access to care. The religious often say things like, "If you just prayed harder, God would help you" or "You need to become born again, because of your sin you are being punished" or "You don't have a mental illness, the devil and his demons are affecting you, trying to steal you away from God and as such you need to pray harder and speak to your pastor/priest." These statements hinder access to real care and real treatment.

For me, I would never go to a facility whose primary care practices are dictated by their religion. I do not care what my doctor's religious practices are so long as they do not affect his or her approach to diagnoses and treatment. There are plenty of doctors available who do not allow their religious ideologies influence their approach to good sound medical practices. If I was in your situation, I would not go back. This is merely my opinion.
