I've been dealing with major depression for the past few years with medication and infrequent counseling. I attended an inpatient program for addiction to pain medication following a back surgery. I have successfully stayed in recovery from the meds, but cannot get past the depression which is getting worse.
After a career change (trying to do something that makes me happy) I no longer have health insurance. My primary dr. changed my depression med to prozac so I could afford it. My problem now is that I know I need counseling/therapy- I think it will help as I stay tormented inside my head alone all day. I cannot afford therapy though.
I have looked in my community for other counseling options but to no avail. I have come online in hopes of finding additional support- I have realized I cannot do this on my own.
