> I'm sorry you were so hurt by their reply. I think they were trying to express that they didn't feel like they could help you, and were trying to suggest an alternative. There really aren't many alternatives to therapy besides medication or hospitalization. I'm sorry they couldn't see you.

> sunnydaysThanks sunny for replying. But they werent expressing that they didnt "feel like" they could help me, they were expressing that they were CHOOSING to not help me only because I couldnt afford their help. This morning I had a long conversation with that woman Paula from that group I mentioned and she fully agreed (in so many words once pressed hard enough) with what Im telling you.
And the alternative that they suggested was ridiculous and thoughtless due to the fact that I had clearly explained that I wasnt going to try any more medication. Again, I did make it clear to them that Ive tried them all and am currently on them and I did ask them to please not just refer me to the local mental ward (which is exactly what they did). And also remember that they had no very specific detail or idea as to why I am so depressed (etc, etc) therefore no valid exuse/reason to suggest I go to the local mental ward which (according the this person) may be doing "extensive research" or to the one in NYC, both for the purpose of taking more meds.I know there arent any alternatives to therapy (which I deperately need but obviously cant get) besides medication (which hasnt helped and cant with my particular problems) or hospitalization (which just means more drugs) and this is why Im so hopeless.
