Some good advice here, DES.

There is hope.

I saw you mentioned having talked to a therapist and it didn't do any good. Shop around for a better one...there are good ones out there....and try to find someone who specializes in addiction.

There are options available for people who don't have insurance and have financial difficulties. I received charity care at a local private hospital for half a year. I live in a small town and I'm going to see a psychiatrist later this month for free. I pay out-of-pocket for therapy at a different place (65 bucks American). If I didn't have that I could get therapy for free elsewhere. I really like my therapist so I don't mind paying. Some places offer therapy/whatnot on a sliding scale. Call around and see what your options are.

It's easy to get overwhelmed...you just got some serious news and you have to deal with that debt. Make taking care of yourself your first priority.
