I really agree that the first thing that you should do is schedule time with a therapist. If you have insurance that covers therapy, you are lucky and can make your appt. following your insurance guidelines.

If you don't have insurance, you can either pay the fee yourself ($100-$200 hr. for therapy, depending on the doctor. MSW's are less costly than psychiatrists, for example.)

More than likely, you probably needs the services of a local Mental Health Clinic that charges on a sliding scale depending on your income. But these clinics are usually very backed-up so you should call one asap. If you PM me with where you live, I will be happy to try to find a clinic for you.

Gotta go - I have my therapy session in an hour.

Best of luck,
