Re docs...... have you checked with the County or one of the lower cost clinics? I don't have insurance and it turns out that I can be seen at a for free clinic for both pdoc and therapist (I am a rape survivor and am under a grant). And my pdoc gives me samples of medication. Even if you can't be seen for free, you might be able to pay $10 or so. I've always been able to find a funded clinic for about $10.

Are you involved in NarAnon or Al Anon (the Family and Friends forum here)? They would be able to help you take care of yourself and cope with your husband. Cuz that's all you can do with an addict..... take care of yourself.

Hang in there!

Sometimes taking care of ourselves can be really hard.
I am sending hugs.
One day at a time.

Hey jml... did you check out those clinics?

I'm sending hugs too.

Dear JML,

Regarding clinics, have you considered a mental health clinic. In our state (WA) we have clinics where you can walk in and get help. My sister walked in on her own and was evaluated the next day. They diagnosed her with severe depression and got her on state medical (fully paid), food stamps, and cash (for rent). She is doing so much better. I hope your state has something similar. My sis will be on it for at least 6 months and maybe 3 months more if her counselor thinks she still needs it.

Blessings,

Sister Blues
