That sounds pretty ****ed up. Are there too few or what's going on?

Great idea for a thread. I have a journal dedicated to my own personal story.

What are the chances of the mods stickying this thread? This can be helpful for a lot of people.

The places with the most trauma have the least trauma centers.

That's kind of how a lot of people out here feel, too. I just know that there are resources out here that will get you counseling or a therapist with out having to be suicidal. Just, nobody really knows about them.

I pay 20 bucks a session with insurance, IDK how much it is with out but I don't think my insurance is that good. I know a lot of people around here feel the same way because they don't know that this place exists. And I know a lot of people just gave up on it because terrible experiences with past therapists. I had one who would hardly listen and told me that I just expect too much from life. If our medical system were any good I'd have known about all the stuff I'm just learning now on my own a long time ago.
