For someone who is at their wits end, single mom and the job is messing around still beating around the bush about getting me medical after a year of being with the company, and the medical is not good to begin with... Paying over 1/2 my paychecks every month to daycare alone with no money left over after bills and food, and I mean NO money... How do you find a therapist? One that you can afford? My mind is in such a tangled mess I need a t... A gp just isn't cutting it, especially since I can only see him once every 3 months... And not again until Jan 25th.. Are there government options or anything for this kind of medical? I can't go to the hospital, I can't lose my daughter... But I need to fix this... Flashbacks... Memories... Hallucinating... Dissociating... Losing time in small blackouts... I need help...

And I don't live in California as my profile states... I'm actually on the East coast, but my daughters father kinda looks for me and posts from me on here...

I had this SAME problem. I totally know where you are coming from. I live near major universities and many of them have doctoral psychology departments that offer VERY cheap therapy to the public. I use to go there and really liked it there. Now I go to a government funded non-profit place that has Masters degree students. I pay 10.00 per visit. Calling the United Way would be a very good place to start. The non profit I go to is funded through the United Way. I am sure they could direct you to a very cheap place if you explained your situation. If you happen to go to church, many of those churches know where to send people for cheap or even have counseling of their own and you do not have to be part of that religion to get help either. They usually accept anyone and everyone. Also, if there are any in your area, check out the Catholic family services. You do not have to be catholic and they will not preach to you. They are very cheap also, usually only about 20.00 a visit. Some places may be no charge at all if you don't have a good income. don't give up ((hugs))

I contacted www.NAMI.org and they sent a list of resources and places to look for help in my area. I was able to find a place my brother can go to get therapy for free.

I'm going to call both numbers today when they open. Thank you both very much, I hope this works... I used to be on three 10mg of valium a day for my anxiety but without a doctor I haven't had any medicine for it in nearly 2 years besides the occassional ER visit where I begged them and would get a total of 7-14 of the 5mg. My mom is also prescribed Valium so thankfully she gave me a few a month back (6) but I've been having to take only 1/2 of the 5mg to make them last every time the days get rough, and most days I just have to fight it because I don't have any to waste... I only have 1/2 of one left... And only 2.5mg of valium doesn't work too well when you already have a high tolerance for meds... I just need this anxiety to go away so I can have a clear head. I fight it and fight it and fight it. I can avoid the attacks now for the most part but the whole day from the start of the day if I feel this way, I feel it all day. I'm fighting anxiety all day and it's getting to be an every day thing so I really need some help with this. Thank you again for the help. I will update again probably tomorrow letting you know what they said!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
