Not going to let it be a set back
3 months ago
So about a month or so ago my mother was laid of from Haliburton and we lost our insurance. We were scared that I would no longer be able to go to my therapist and my psychiatrist so we contacted my real dad asking him to put me on his insurance and recently the whole process was completed.
Problems: My therapist, who is the only one I’ve ever gone to and had any real success with, isn’t covered on his insurance. So rather than pay the 70 dollar fee or switch to another person, they are putting me on a capping program that the United Way offers. I’m so relieved by that.
So my mom faxed the insurance card and information to the secretary at my psychiatrist’s office. They’re on the plan, but for some weird reason we would have to pay a $350 deductible. RIDICULOUS. The lady said we would have to pay 101 dollars each trip, plus a 20 dollar copay. My mom just got laid off, no chance in hell we can afford that. So, I made the executive decision to stop going.
I mean I never wanted to stay on anti-depressants long term anyways. And I truly feel like if I continue going to see Carole, I will be okay without the meds. I’m choosing not to let it be a setback. I’ve made so much progress and recently made several more breakthroughs. I know I’m going to be okay.
:D

So I’ve done it. I can see the changes in my body. I work out everyday and I eat right now. I’m not done, but I am confident I can do it now. My mom and I ordered Flirty Girl Fitness lol. I’m so excited about it. I HATE working out, but when I finish (I break it down into several 30 minute work outs a day) I just feel so great about myself.
