Dearest Sadsack (That is so funny, reminds me of Beetle Bailey sarge lol)
I am sorry to hear of your ins predictament. I didn't have any either. Since the divorce, I have filed bankruptcy and let the house be foreclosed. I am now pursuing the DH in court for child support. But I digress.
Depending on which state you are in, there are lots of places that offer free or low cost counseling. Check with your county health dept and ask about mental health. Look in your yellow pages and call any non-profit agency listings. Also check with any local universities. They sometimes have grad students working on their doctorates and are supervised by pdocs. At the very least, ask around about support groups. Anything that will provide you with a network and support is good!
I spent 2 years seeing a shrink monthly for meds and a cognitive behavior counselor weekly to learn coping skills. I paid 5 bucks a month. That was in North Carolina. I truly believe the only reason I was able to go a year without meds is because of the things Janie taught me to foresee and get through a panic attack on my own. I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world!
BTW, did any of you see the John Walsh show today? It was about panic disorder.
Good luck to you and I hope this helps :)
