I would double check whether it’s covered - mine is usually not covered until I reach my deductible but with Covid all therapy including online Telehealth is covered 100% through at least October through my plan.

Is it not covered by your health plan? Most health plans do have some coverage of therapy. On top of that your employee EAP plan may offer some intial free sessions.

If you're no longer employed, then cobra (while expensive) may be a good option

Idk I can’t really afford the low deductible plan either, it’s like $1600 a year more. I was planning on getting a raise to afford a therapist and the low deductible plan but that didn’t really end up working out this year.

Exercise. Definitely not a replacement for therapy but it might help you feel better.

I recently had an interview with the hiring manager and they did 95% of the talking. It was the weirdest interview I’ve ever had. I didn’t know whether to interrupt and get a question and some comments in or stay quiet and listen. I couldn’t even gauge how it went. Has this happened to you.?
Also on average how many jobs do people typically interview for before they get an offer?

Had a therapist who encouraged me to quit my job to be happy. Also encouraged me to not settle with my girlfriend because I’ll regret it (like how he regrets getting married). Ended up quitting my job and became more miserable, poor and suicidal. Haven’t seen my girlfriend due to long distance and COVID and we might break up soon. Did I just find a bad therapist or is it normal to project your own regrets to your patients?

Anyone have an SO who is a healthcare worker?

Same exact scenario as last year - last January he contracted Covid in between vaccinations and thankfully I made the decision not to spend time with him during the last outbreak as a precaution. Sucks. Can’t decide what to do. Already dealt w/ 2 quarantines b/c of his kid
