Perhaps permanently so, inconsistently a moment of sanity reaches through?

My rational mind reaches a decision of ending therapy which is the only real option as far as non-available funds

then my rational mind quickly vacates the building leaving behind sheer terror

I have no idea how to do this

I have no desire to do this

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna

The imagined pain is unbearable
The existing pain is unbearable

I want my T

No wise advice, but much support and many warm thoughts. It sucks that therapy is so expensive.

Your rational mind has no jurisdiction over feelings and I am beginning to learn that my rational mind may not be the most important thing in life - actually maybe it's not even "rational".

Have you talked to your T about any problems in meeting their fees?

Hugs to you - I know I would feel similar terror at the thought of not seeing my T again.

This was the topic of my last appointment. I told T that it was so hard that I wanted to bury my head in the sand and pretend that it wasn't happening. Money has always brought up big stuff for me. I've always felt responsible and guilty, since I was really young. It's such a hard thing to struggle with, and it feels so awful to have it threaten to take something so valuable away!

I hope you can use ANY possible alternatives. Ask about sliding scale, waiting to later to pay, cutting back on something else... I'm sure you know better than I do

I went thru this when I was going thru cancer treatment. I couldn't afford both. So I cut back on T to once a month. He was good, he let me email him. Sux to be going thru a difficult period and not have T....seems that's when you need T the most.

I've talked to him; he has been very good already as far as it's concerned but anything else isn't fair on him. I've already cut back on everything; I need more work ... I need my mind to work better to do more I don't think I can do this though

I went thru this when I was going thru cancer treatment. I couldn't afford both.

I understand that medical bills haven't helped me either, I'm glad your T kept in touch via email

((((Nightlight)))) I'm sorry you are going through this also

i think it's nice you think of him, but he should ultimately decide what's fair for him, shouldn't he? but i suppose you'll end up telling him about the financial issues anyway as an explanation if you tell him you want to cut back sessions, right? So he'll have a chance to offer if he wants.
