Hi
My Dr. is back in town and called me last night. She wants to see me this morning. She asked if I would be alright until I see her. I know she will want to put me in the hospital. I can't afford it. I can't even afford to see my T the way I should. We have been doing phone therapy which is hard to do. This would be easier if______________.

Hi Joan,
Can you NOT afford too, Joan? Is ending your life more important than regaining your footing & living a better life? What is your life worth? Can anyone put a price on it? If you don't have your health, they say you have nothing. But, here's a chance @ getting well. Getting your health back!
Having been on the end of having no insurance to cover an IP stay, I can say with certainty that programs exist that will help cover the bill. In the event there aren't any(check with the hospital social workers) you can still make a payment plan through the billing department. You can manage.
Sometimes when we're stressed we begin to think catastrophically. Worrying about things

Hey Joan,
I am very glad to hear that you're hanging in there. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it in the end to choose life. It never seems that way @ the time because living is the hard part. It's easy to look @ things as if they'll never change. They will.
That is great news, Joan, that you have a plan in place. Checking in with the *t* daily is very reassuring. I don't know if you see it this way, but I see that both your dr. & *t* see your value & worth. Hold on to that when you feel alone & friendless. I have shared this before & hope that it helps in someway. I read once about birds flying in formation. The leader takes all the wind. Takes all the turbulence. But, he reaches a point when it's too much for him. He falls back & the other birds surround him, while a new bird takes the lead. This gives him a much needed rest as he glides along the air his friends provide for him. You deserve to fall back, Joan. Accept the help of others. It's your time for a bit of R&R.
Good luck & GBU! Please keep in touch. We care. jan
