I'm 52.

I am no longer in therapy. Did basically three rounds of therapy at various times in my adult life: about 2 years during college; about 2 years in my late 20's; about 10 years in my 40's. It has been I guess a year and half or so since I was in regular therapy. I have not needed therapy or meds since. I consider myself very much healed and stable (about time!)

When I was in therapy, I went generally every week to 10 days or so. It varied with how I was doing, etc.

Insurance was an absolute must in order to afford therapy at all. Insurance got my out-of -pocket down to $25/session as opposed to the $125/session it would have been without insurance.

My diagnoses are bipolar disorder and PTSD.

I have worked as a teacher now for 30 years.

My husband and I have been married for 29 years. We have three awesome sons who are all almost out of the house.

How do you pay for therapy? Insurance does. My parents pay my insurance.

Do you work? About 6 Sundays a year, and then limited hours (from 6 AM to 12 AM instead of from 6 AM to 5.30 PM).
