How do you pay for therapy? Insurance w/very low copay.
Do you have an official "diagnosis"? Yes, MDD, GAD, PTSD, and maybe more I can't think of, but my diagnoses don't define who I am or what I can do or be.

I'm 63 and have been in therapy on and off for 31 years. Right now I'm just going about once a month and I pay with insurance. Have a $50 copay. My official diagnosis is Bipolar II.

I went on disability last September so I'm not currently working.

I'm married and have been for 18 years. I also have on daughter and two stepdaughters. And two sweet little dogs.
