When I sought help for my depression due to brother’s loss they supposedly called my insurance company and the hospital quoted me a price of $216.21. Imagine my shock and surprise when I found out my copay is $700.00! That’s highway robbery. Benefits for mental illness are sub standard in my opinion. We need better quality healthcare at more affordable prices.

I’m doing well today. Life is good. I was able to get off one of my antidepressants. Trying for more. DBT skills have gone a long way in helping me. Having 2 therapists helps as well. One I have no copay for and we talk day to day issues. The other that I pay cash for teaches me skills. Nice set up.

My NP has been a nasty piece of work. She found out through a request I made that I’m a CPA with my MBA. Now she couldn’t be nicer to me and my “mathematical mind”. Although I’m pleased to be treated better, it’s messed up at how she arrived at the decision to treat me with respect.

I hope everybody has a peaceful afternoon. Love to all
