That's really terrific of your therapist, Penny. And your pdoc. You're really lucky to have them.
I am trying to post in a more positive frame of mind than yesterday (yesterday was a horrendous day), but I find that anything I might say would sound hypocritical. The truth is that I know exactly how you feel, because I feel the same way. And the same thoughts have been flirting with my mind.
But as you said, what we think towards ourselves is *not* what we think for others. I think it would be a terrible waste of a beautiful life if you were to kill yourself over money. You have so much to offer this world in terms of generosity and wisdom. You're a person that your therapist and pdoc think enough of to offer to reduce/waive their fees. I can tell you that mine wouldn't do that.
You're young yet. You will yet contribute so much as a nurse or a therapist or whatever you decide to become. Sit down with that credit counseling service and whatever other nonprofits may be available, and try to work out a solution.
Please? ((((Penny))))
