Hi:
>>> don't have insurance. When I am not doing well, I can't get on the phone and generate work. If I don't work, I can't afford my treatment. Without my treatment, I can't work. <<<--- I truly understand your dilemma and frustration due to this, mental illness.
However, you need a proper treatment to feel better, or at least NOT to get the things into aggrevating state.In my suggestion, try to go to the 'County Mental Facility' nearby your residence. Or, visit Social Security Buldg. in the region where you live. You may need to pay a VERY small fee if you have some income, but this is to be 'sliding scale' basis on which you pay according to your income. Some paying just $1.00(one dollar) for each prescription. So does other expenses, such as seeing a pdoc. and psycho.-therapist(if they regard you need one). Furthermore, if you need to apply for an SSI and SSDI some down the road(not happen, but just 'in case'), without pdoc.'s documents/signature you won't be able to get the papers processed. For these 'two' major reasons, you certainly need to see a pdoc. and get a tx right.
