Look for expert health. A therapist or a psychiatrist will help you. There’s nothing wrong with getting medical support.

Yea agreed. I’m currently uninsured. I’ve been unemployed since October. There’s medication I rely on I can no longer get. It’s a slippery slope to suicide.

There are therapists that offer scholarships/sliding scales for financial difficulties. See if you can look for some in your area. I know it’s hard. I’ve been out of a work over a year and my partner was laid off mid last year. Hang in there. You’re not alone. I see you for what’s worth and I’m sorry you’re hurting right now.

Agree with the advice to get professional help. I know the last thing you want is to accrue more debt but it’s probably worth it to put it on the credit card. I’ve been there myself and sometimes you just can’t get out of the dark pit without help.

Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
