Just looking for a listening ear since I can’t find a therapist: I’ve been depressed since I discharged from a general hospital. I was sent there by my ED (eating disorder) specialist and spent a week there. I wasn’t in crisis and I had no medical problems. The reason I was sent was to get an established meal plan and to start the weight restoration process (after I spent 7 weeks at ED residential treatment and failed). Anyways, here’s why I’m depressed: Whenever I discharge from somewhere, a solid discharge plan is never established. My team at the hospital said “Goodbye and good luck!” and gave my mom and I a list of therapists to call. I’m really angry and depressed because I’m in the exact same position I was before I went there (except now I have a meal plan and my weight is higher). I have no general therapist (I’ve given up looking for a specialist). The hospital couldn’t find one and I can’t either. I’m tired of this. And I’m not in a great recovery mindset. I’m having so many thoughts to relapse and it’s scaring me. For context, I’m 16 and I’ve been in and out of hospitals for my ED and OCD since I’ve been 11.

You should call private practices that accept private pay. You can either pay out of pocket, or if you can’t afford it, you can negotiate price. I see an OCD soecialist and pay out of pocket only $20 a session because I told them it was all I could afford. You could also look into and IOP program

Have you tried hitting the therapist button inside the NOCD app?

Unfortunately none accept my insurance. So I’m just using the chat for occasional support.

@NOCD Advocate - Stephen Smith Fallon365 (MassHealth) — we don’t have much money, that’s why we get government support

I know this is an older post but any luck with finding a mass health therapist with OCD treatment experience? i’m in this position currently and it’s very distressing
