    That sounds like an American health system problem.

    At some point, seeking help is the best advice that can be given. It can be for fixing a blocked drain or fixing your head. Cost can be a barrier, sure, but it doesn’t make it bad advice. Therapy can come in many shapes and sizes too, from volunteer support groups all the way through to private 1 to 1 sessions with hourly rates so high they make your nose bleed.

    The key thing is to get help.

      help isn’t available unless you’ve got fat wads of cash to spend.

      a plumber to fix your drain is a one time cost of $200. therapy is $200-400 a week. most people I’ve known who did therapy spend several thousands on it. I did therapy for two months and it cost me $1500, and that was 8 years ago, it’s probably double that cost now. unless you have $2000-3000 in disposable income per month, you really can’t afford therapy.
