It's so frustrating.

I know I need therapy. I've needed it for years and years. The last time I tried, the only appointment the therapist had available was at noon...and I worked in food service as a manager in the healthcare world. I managed to go twice, and my boss said I couldn't leave at that time anymore because of peak lunch hours. So I stopped going. I've gotten so much worse since then, amd I've tried multiple times to find someone I could afford that had time slots I could work with. I've gotten out of the food service career because of my nervous breakdown last year, and I work in an office (mostly by myself) now so my time is more flexible. But it pays crap, which brings me back to affordability. I'm trying to get on with a few different therapist that my insurance says is in network, but there a disclaimer on most of them that the services aren't covered! How am I supposed to get help when I can't use my insurance? I won't do the online therapy thing because I don't believe they can really see where you need help if you're on a computer. It's getting harder and harder every day. I'm in a constant state of anxiety, I have heart palpitations, my head aches, I'm so tired. My Lexapro is barely scratching the surface of my depression. I don't know what to do. It so frustrating.

I think trying an online counselor as Max2012 has suggested is a great idea. I see my doctor now virtually (since Covid) and I really like it. I don’t feel I’m missing anything by not being in his office and it’s usually right on time… no driving.
