I spoke today with a woman from intake from the partial hospitalization program from Local Hospital. Being uninsured, if I want to use this program, I need to come up with the total amount of one day's services as a down payment. $550.
Because being diagnosed with PTSD and going through some really hard times isn't enough, let's add to the crisis I am already feeling like I am in.
I have two jobs, and so because of that, I don't qualify for Community Mental Health services - I make too much money. But I can't afford insurance, and I certainly can't afford $550 a day to be "better".
I guess the next step is to find a physician who will prescribe me Ativan to deal with the anxiety, and then just medicate instead of actually cure. It seems like that's the only option at this point.
