I’ve been seeking help on-and-off again for the last 5 years and it’s been the following experience for me.
Years ago, on-and off again Me: seeks help, search for therapist on a budget Prospective therapist: I’m sorry but your case seems complex and requires therapist+ premium starting at $250/hr with weekly sessions starting tomorrow Me: has very little money, insurance only covers $500/year ….
Now Me: seeks help now that there’s money saved up Therapy practices near me: now it’s $270/hr and we’ll call you in 6-10 months to schedule your first consultation appointment
Good fun.

Just in case anyone from Ontario is reading, there are websites of therapists taking appointments, organized by accreditation.
Prices are also much cheaper than $500, but they are mostly over $150 per session.
Two months? Ha. Ahaha. Hahahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
THREE YEARS.
They haven’t found me a FUCKING psychiatrist to prescribe my meds for
THREE.
FUCKING.
YEARS.
Waiting list. After waiting list. After waiting list. Kicking the can down the road…! Ghosted over and over again! AND YOU KNOW ADHD IS GREEEEEAAAAAAT FOR FUCKING WAITING AND FOLLOWING UP Y’KNOW??? RIGHT???
God FUCKING dammit.
Then you finally get your meds and RFKJr throws you in a concentration camp for your mental illness.
I am not fucking going to el salvador. But I might just go straight to hell. Hopefully I’ll drag some fascists down there with me.
