Throughout the years I've had personal views and issues that people online have had to convince me to go to therapy for. Logic would dictate that it's simply the right direction to head through. That objectively and deep down I'm aware I need to talk to someone(s). Yet despite how others have described that therapy has *supposedly* helped them, I can't really bring myself to go. Recent events have changed that perspective, but more marginally than I would have thought.

Medicaid is said to cover it, but I don't qualify because I make more income than the threshold allowed for services to be free. yet I don't have a lot of money myself. Out of pocket, sessions with therapists in my area go from $100 to hundreds per. Never mind being told that there's no "one size fits all" since each therapist is an individual and one may be better suited than others, even if multiple options share the same experience in certain categories (anxiety and depression for example).

On a more personal note I've always disliked the idea of sharing my problems to someone that's getting *paid* to do it. Do these "verbal doctors" really care about the issues each patient is throwing at them? They're making bank with triple digits per visit, who knows how many a *day*. I can only imagine someone becoming desensitized over time. Are their responses to our problems the same across the board? And I think I have a *lot* to vent about to someone. I don't want to pay so much time or money (insurance can also be expensive monthly) to be told something I could have found here on reddit. And there's redditors always posting some type of helpful epiphany or content that can lead you to such indirectly.
