I am currently:
I'm not sure where/how to get help

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.

Hi, i'm sorry that you're going through this, it must be really difficult for you. I'm not sure how you could go about this, but I have found some links which may be useful to you. Do you know if there is an agency near you that could advise you of the support that is available to you? There should at least be some form of self help groups or help for paying with therapy etc. I hope that things work out for you and that these links are beneficial, I have no idea about Tennessee as I live in the UK. Please get in touch if you need anything. Take care. xxx

I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

You didn't come this far just to come this far.
