I keep these records too, but while I do a yearly tally every December, I don't think I'd dare go back for all the years I've been in therapy, or even just with this therapist.
Once I sat down and tried to think of all the different ways I have lost money on account of mental illness, from decreased income, meds cost, therapy costs, and the unseen things like late payment charges and all the airline tickets which would have been much cheaper if I could get it together to make plans at other than the last minute.
Just thinking up all of the categories was depressing without even going through the exercise of quantifying some of the costs.
