Unfortunately, my T doesnt really have any ideas either. She has offered to refer me to a general practicioner, so if it comes to that, I will take that referal... but we live in a pretty small town with only 1 psychiatry practice (multiple drs, but 1 practice) and theres just no way "in" without the money.
I think the issue with the health center may be related to licensing or something like that. I know that the one woman used to perscribe psychiatric medication, and they say she does not do it anymore.. I wonder if she is no longer getting the supervision she needs to continue doing that or something (as she was not a PhD or MD). I felt like they were genuinely willing to help in any way they could, but they were sort of stuck, just as I am. The health center really doesnt handle mental health stuff.. they just send it on to the counseling center.
However, asking her to call the counseling center might be a possibility. I doubt she'd agree to it, since they have given me (several) pretty clear "no"s.. but it's worth asking. Thanks for the suggestion. :)
