I've had loads of therapy and I guess I always took it for granted that it would always be there. Boy have I had a rude awakening lately. I am disability and have Medicare plus another insurance which doesn't help any with mental health care and I can not find anyone that will accept it. Plus I can't afford the deductible anyway. Wouldn't it be more cost effective for Medicare to pay for therapy to help people get back to work? They pay very well for hospitalization or day treatment but not for outpatient therapy.

I feel poor and trapped and it's a bad feeling. I always thought I was an anti-material girl and all that but I guess I was kidding myself. Being poor stinks.

I was offered the number of the CMHC but I have heard truly bad things about it. I am getting therapy from a psychiatrist who accepts my insurance and waives the rest but I had hoped to find someone who would take a different approach. Th CMHC refuses to treat someone who is seeing a private psychiatrist and I am not willing to give him up.

Well that's my rant for the day ( oh that and the new neighbors have pit bulls chained up in the back yard and I'm semi terrified to go out in my back yard any more)

How are people who can't access therapy handling it?
