About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with depression. I was treated for several years with medication and counseling. About two years ago I felt that I was well enough to stop taking the medication and end my therapy sessions. In the past year however I've really regretted that decision. I think I need to be back on some kind of medication and seek counseling.

I'm kind of caught in a bind though. When I was first diagnosed I lived at home with my parents, so of course my father's health insurance covered my treatments. I now live 600 miles away from home and in-between insurance right now. My father's insurance still covers some things for me (mostly emergencies) and I currently do not hold any health insurance of my own. I'm not sure how I can seek the kind of help I need. I def. cannot afford doctor's visits or medication out of my own pocket.

I really have no idea what to do or where to start. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much. This website is truly amazing.
