Default Thanks for the support and understanding
Yes. I have thought of seeking treatment. We both need treatment. I have been unable to afford treatment. Even when I was working and had the best insurance, mental health treatment was only covered at 50 percent. I was a single mother and could not afford the other 50 percent for my daughter and myself.
Now that I am on Medicaid it may be possible for me to get some treatment for the PTSD. I am looking in to finding a counselor. If I can get on disability then I am going to offer to pay for her to go to a counselor as well.
Thanks all of you for the support and understanding. It looks like I am not alone in having a hard time with holidays.
