    How do you get therapy appointments that fast 🙈

    I’m sorry to hear about the family issue. I bet you’re looking forward to the weekend? I hope next week won’t be too rough on you! ❤️

      Oh I’ve been in therapy my whole life, I’ve had regular monthly session with my current therapist since like 2016? I consider myself very lucky, I originally started seeing him for depression and anxiety problems but I remember him also specializing in LGBTQ+ issues.

      If you need therapy just start calling people, you’d be surprised how quick you can set something up if you call everyone. Just remember to cancel any appointments you make if you find something sooner or who fits better

      It really depends on where you are geographically, but here in oregon its pretty quick from lifeworks, and we have a decent emergency mental health hotline thingy. But its def not this easy everywhere, and also depending on insurance and money.

      If you get public assistance (SNAP or ACA/medicare etc) then a great place to start asking for affordable or insurance covered therapy is at your local DHS (department of human services, not the other fascist one(fuck ICE)) ask them, they should have a resource book available for you to take and browse through.

      Thats where id start, wishing you lots of luck!
