About to turn 50
This time around a year. About 10 years ago went for few years See my t about once every three weeks sometimes two weeks. I pay copayment and the rest is paid by insurance I am not diagnosed officially. I have diagnosis that is primarily for insurance purposes ( it can't be real as it is diagnosed by my t after the first meeting I think, not a doctor or pdoc) I work. A lot. Right now I have two jobs, actually kind of two and a half I am in committed relationship, was married before Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

How old are you? -- 37.
How long have you been in therapy? -- About eight months, this stint. Spent years in it as a child/teenager. How often do you go to therapy? -- Once a week. I met my deductible for the year so now I'm just gouging my insurance company (why not, it gouges me). How do you pay for therapy? -- Was paying cash, insurance handles it for the rest of the year. In January it'll be back to cash again. Do you have an official "diagnosis"? -- Terminal Depressive Gonzolitis, or depression to the layman. Do you work? -- If you want to call it that. Are you married/in a committed relationship? -- Not anymore, I ain't. What are you doing this weekend? |

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. |
