I hate each and every one of them. They're money hungry people who gatekeep the mental health I need all because I'm unemployed. I can't function because these idiots charge like $200 each session. They skimp when it comes to the sliding scale. It's all about profit to them. I'm right here dealing with an OCD loop that has been lasting like 3 days and there is no way to stop it because I've been priced out.
People deserve to be paid for their work, even when their work is helping people in need. In a perfect world mental health care would be accessible to everyone, but under our current capitalist system they have to make money like anyone else.
I can’t afford treatment either since I am also unemployed, so I have been checking out OCD workbooks and material from my local library. I recommend Freedom from OCD: A Personalized Recovery Program for Living with Uncertainty (by Jonathan Grayson). It’s frustrating and scary to not have access to professional help due to finances, but there are still ways to attempt healing and growth. Wish you well.
$200 sounds insane, i'm so sorry :(
Do you have insurance? One girl I found was $150 a session but my insurance paid it all out except $30. I understand. I have been scouring for a specialist
my ocd therapist removed me from active therapy without telling me lol 😂😂
I lived in a country where it was 'free' and by that I mean you just got taxed a gazillion £ out of your wages and I can assure you that the quality of care there vs where I am now (and I pay) is totally different. The care there was not good. The wait time was horrendous. Waiting for a DR and hoping you get seen before 2 months was not fun. The system is over run. Here the cost is high and the care is amazing. It's expensive but worth it. I recommend shopping around.
Im so fucking terrified by my own thoughts. Idk how much longer I can go on like this. Just every single thing my brain produces feels either distorted by OCD or like I've literally done the most deplorable thing any person could do. Can't reach out to a specialist because I don't have the money and too scared too share. So scared that it's real
I need a therapist who specializes in Pocd I’m struggling please tell me how much can you discount me because NOCD doesn’t take my insurance
I really do want to go to therapy or psychiatrist to diagnosed my OCD and give me a treatment but it costs a lot. OCD ruins my life and consumes my mind I wish I can take a break from my own brain. Having OCD but undiagnosed feels like I’m crazy because people think I made that up but they don’t know how I’m struggling since I was a kid. So anyone have an advice for treat OCD especially checking OCD that doesn’t cost money? because I don’t work yet..🥲
