Living under a different kind of system for so long now has just made me realize how fucked up our system in the U.S. is. I know that doesn't help you or make you feel any better, I'm sorry.Blueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014949557018388159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198245786384714430.post-73090975472320628712009-07-02T13:19:23.404-04:002009-07-02T13:19:23.404-04:00The reason I say go to an MD is that mine has been...The reason I say go to an MD is that mine has been far more helpful to me than my therapist ever was.

If you call the insurance company and let them know that you called everyone within 20 miles in your network and none are taking new patients, often they will let you choose one and they will let you pay as though you are in network. <br />I had this issue and had the ins. company actually find me someone. That is what they are there for.

Your therapist isn't doing his job, and you need more help than he's willing or able to give you. Call your doc and check out some suicide hotlines or mental health crisis options.
