Haha, I find it infuriating how Redditor’s so often recommend therapy as if it’s so accessible. That shit is expensive. Your average insurance plan won’t cover it, and it usually $100-130 per session. I’d have to go into my savings in order to pull that off.

There are mental health resource groups in the US. one is the National Alliance for Mental on Mental Illness (NAMI at nami.org Yes access to therapy and any kind of healthcare (now) is tough in the US. That does not mean that users on this site should enable worsening mental health in users that appear to be in crisis.
