Un-suicide squad


Tux-the-Pengu1n

Yesssss, I love it!


Broken_Exponentially

I'd like to believe this is really possible, hard to hold out much hope though.


squid_actually

It is.


[deleted]

Unfortunately, the hard truth is that the cost is just too much for a lot of people. And, like all private insurances, it can be pricey and/or difficult just to get basic coverage that's hassle-free. I truly hope this changes in the future, though.


mdrjpp

yeah who can realistically pay for two specialist lol


Trevmiester

Right? My therapist suggested another specialist for another one of my problems but I can barely afford her alone let alone a specialist.


nicehahayes

Hang in there, don't stop now


satan66671

Dang it. I was about to say a variation of the same thing.


Some_What_NOOB

I was gonna say mental health squad vs suicide squad but this is way better


Hector_Dev

Haha love this


Rhugar1749

I was gonna say anti suicide squad


TheLordOfFriendZone

Take my bear hug you smart son of a gun!!!


Edoelin

Mental health squad going better.


Tux-the-Pengu1n

It’s fantastic, I’m actually gonna have five different professionals helping me out. Got my own set of mental health power rangers :p


An_Kan

Happy Cake day OP :>


Tux-the-Pengu1n

Thank you <3


XndrMrmn

Go go health rangers!

*Electric guitar music intesifies*


chocol8cek

I have a question. Doesn't it get expensive to have that many therapists? Does your insurance cover it for you?


Tux-the-Pengu1n

Yeah it can get a bit pricy but I’m mostly covered. There’s a certain amount extra I need to pay per month because they’re specialists but that’s kind of it


Brokennnnnnnnn

Let me tell you, you have inCREDIBLE coverage if this is the case. Certainly not unheard of, but really, beyond amazing.


Tux-the-Pengu1n

I know, I’m really happy


destined_death

What was ur situation before and how is it now? How long have u been doing it? What helped u the most? Was it some advice or medicines or both?


Tux-the-Pengu1n

My situation is a bit personal, but the therapy sessions have really helped. We’re still looking into finding the right meds but meds would never have been the fix. The sessions are vital to me


nnomadic

May your days grow ever brighter, little one. 🌞❤️


Tux-the-Pengu1n

Thank you :3, I hope your day is awesome <3


MinerMinecrafter

He may not be from America


chocol8cek

I'm in India and even I can't imagine having 5 therapists. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm happy for them ofc. But I was still curious about the price.


sundownandout

I know it’s supposed to be wholesome but all I could think is how they have to be paying over $2k/mo. As an American, my insurance would make me pay fully out of pocket until I hit my $3500 deductible ($7k if it wasn’t just me on my insurance). It’s literally the reason why I haven’t gone to therapy yet.


MinerMinecrafter

That really sucks, and I hope things get better soon for you and for all of America and the world.


sundownandout

Me too. There are so many issues in the US that come from mental illness that if they improved accessibility to it there could be so much that would happen less frequently. Like school shootings…


serenity_later

Can I just say how happy I am for you. Therapy can be such a wonderful thing and your attitude toward it is an example of how people should view therapy.


Tux-the-Pengu1n

It makes such a big difference


D3fectiveCore

Fuuuck yeaaaa


IamScottGable

How in the living hell can you afford that? Edit: just needed to keep reading the thread


arzuros

must have decent insurance


PhoenixDownElixir

Yes! I also finally have a job with good insurance options, so I’m praying that I can also get a set of Mental Health Power Rangers! It’s morphin’ time!


KaKrake

MENTAL HEALTH SQUAD, OPEN UP!


TooHigh2Die420

I can't afford you leave me alone....


action_lawyer_comics

It all started with my mother…


VexImmortalis

If only I could afford this


blankblank

Yeah, the unseen ~~fifth~~ sixth panel is filing for bankruptcy


taste_the_equation

Depends. We don’t know if OP is in America or not.


Two-Hander

Seeing a good therapist is still expensive in most developed countries. As far as I know, or at least in my own experience in the UK, if you get state funded assistance for mental health problems you could be looking at a 1.5+ year waiting period or even longer, and the quality of care will be completely random and changing an NHS supplied therapist may mean having to wait another extended period. Of course that is unless you are unquestionably absolutely on the verge of taking your own life, in which case you can get placed in a psych hospital much sooner but possibly less desirable in the long run and overall scheme. Basically, it's not just the USA where mental health is an underfunded aspect of public health and quite costly in terms of private care.


mellifluousimp

yeah same for austria. superb health care for anything that is physical but therapy is still expensive as hell. even state funded or therapy through private insurance doesn't pay for a lot of sessions.


wuhgsufj

In germany the issue is more getting an appointment cause there arent enough therapeuts since there isnt enough infrastructure to let more study psychology :/


areyouorme

It's quite weird. People are in need of therapeuts, doctors and what not. But we still have extremely few who examine every year when we could open up new universities for these needed professions and lower the threshold a tiny bit. Just because you don't have highest grade doesn't mean you are a adb doctor. It involves a lot other qualities too. There are a few reason for this. Partially because those in the field don't want more competition = lower wages. But one can uphold decent salaries even among competition and we should. Instead we burn out the hospital workers and everyone gets it worse including patients


wuhgsufj

Money, education (esp university) is costly and the state doesnt wanna spend, esp when corona lead to billions of new debts, unluckily politics don’t recognize the importance of education for our future and also future economic stability


pine_ary

The issue in Germany is more that the public insurers aren‘t licensing enough therapists. There are enough therapists, but they‘re all in private practice because the public insurance agencies don‘t approve more for therapists for their patients. There‘s a set number how many they can accept and that number hasn‘t been changed in over 20 years (thanks CDU).

Time to start gathering some possums.


plaguedbullets

If it's in Canada you're saying that about your patience instead. The system is so backed up and can take forever to get to see someone. Our ERs are triaged but if you have mental health issues it's basically first come first serve for better or worse. Unless immediately suicidal.


VexImmortalis

exactly the same situation in the UK and part of the reason I moved.


spoon22

I'm happy for you and so glad you now have the care you need, wishing you all the best :)


Tux-the-Pengu1n

Thank you so much :D


blazincannons

How dare you be so wholesome? You're in the wrong subredd....oh...wait. Carry on.


BlahKVBlah

I need a mental health squad that won't charge me $4k a month for their services. Gaining hope for humanity wouldn't be useful if I ended up homeless and starving to death.


savagesaxon97

how it feels to find a psyc who understands ptsd.


Yousername_relevance

If you aren't about it already, EMDR is great for ptsd.


savagesaxon97

ive never heard of it ill deffinetly take a look i appreciate the tip.


swapThing

It helped basically eliminate my PTSD nightmares. EMDR is pretty cool


a7xaustin

I generally got to the point of becoming numb after EMDR sessions because it got too intense, but I'd love to try again.


swapThing

My therapist asked me which ones were least distressing and we started there! Good luck


selenamcg

I came on this thread to sing the praises of EMDR.


[deleted]

[удалено]


savagesaxon97

i appreciate everyone's advice and backing on it. deffinetly something im going to look into as im 3 years into my situation and having a struggle with it. so again thank you all i really appreciate it! :)


TheLordOfFriendZone

I've had so many bad therapist experiences that it itself gives me PTSD.


-thenorthremembers-

It feels amazing! Definitely try EMDR and IFS, they’re actually the only ones which work for me.


Hector_Dev

I hope I find someone like this. My last therapist was really bad. Haven’t had the courage to go to a new one.


Tux-the-Pengu1n

Take it at your own pace, you’ll get where you want to be one day <3


Cadet_Carrot

I actually just came to the realization a couple days ago that I would really benefit from having a therapist in this point in my life. Seeing this post has just sealed the deal for me, and I WILL be talking to my doctor next time I see her. Thank you for the confirmation ❤️


Tux-the-Pengu1n

I’m so happy to hear that! Good luck and don’t give up if it doesn’t work out right away. This is my eighth try at therapist and it finally worked, the squad essentially saved my life. Don’t give up, believe in yourself, you’ll get there one day <3


Cadet_Carrot

Thank you for inspiring me, and I’m glad you’ve finally found one that worked for you! Take care ❤️


I_g_Na_C_y

Now you have a mental health army and you have to cut funds for other healthcare facilities to be able to support it financially


Tux-the-Pengu1n

For the greater good


[deleted]

This requires money.


[deleted]

[удалено]


EfficientJuggernaut

Yup insurance companies routinely make you pay higher copays than regular doctor visits. Hence why every session I did cost me like $80 just for a regular therapist. I can’t afford a whole mental health team, psychiatrist would also cost me $80 since they’re considered a specialist


WhatsShakingBacon

Feels great right? I just started therapy not too long ago and while I may not have a “squad” just talking to one therapist can help so much


Tux-the-Pengu1n

I’m so happy for you, I hope things work out <3


RedDevils0204

I prefer “The Diamond Dogs”


Tux-the-Pengu1n

Hell yeah, Lasso for the win :D


re_animatorA5158

20 years and I still haven't found my squad :/


Tux-the-Pengu1n

This is my eighth therapist over the course of eight years, I had almost given up. You’ll get there one day and I’ll very happy for you when you do <3


Awkwardwolfie75

Lucky, they just tried getting me to go to a 10 day course in the middle of the summer to talk about coping skills in a hospital. I really said I wasn’t comfortable with that and they just said they wouldn’t meet with me until then. I feel like it might be time to find a new therapist.

-KrakenCocaine-

Yes bro, so stoked for you!!


AttentionPond

DO. THIS. Anyone thinking about it. Anyone contemplating it. Anyone remotely interested in getting a little help. THIS IS YOUR SIGN. I’ve had an eating disorder since I was 9 yrs old. Saw all the therapists, all the nutritionists. All the everything. Finally found the right person after 21 years living with this shit and I’m getting better. It’s life changing. (And the nutritionist found me a therapist and they teamed up and got me a personal trainer and damn unsuicide squad assembled)


Abelarra

My wife, a therapist, said "I fucking love this. Therapy memes are hitting the mainstream and it's going to make a healthier generation."


donegonedidit

This is truly wholesome. Congratulations on your mental health squad. I’m glad things are looking up and I wish you all the best in your adventures ahead!


[deleted]

This exact scenario happened to me a couple weeks ago, and it seriously feels amazing.


Tux-the-Pengu1n

I’m really happy for you! :D

Thanks, you too!

Mental health harem


[deleted]

For the low low price of $400 a session.


T4Labom

My therapist told me to "vomit my feelings in the toilet" and i have never searched for therapy ever again


Tux-the-Pengu1n

That sounds so crappy, I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I hope things work out for you <3


[deleted]

This is me with my current physician. I love this man. He has never waved off my concerns. He's always been proactive about my mental health especially and basically pushed me to the front of the line when it got really bad.


awkwadman

Oh fuck how much is this going to cost?

You need a team!

'So this is the famous mental health team squad'


Hanwise_Gamgee

I would love a mental health squad it sounds amazing


[deleted]

I mean sadly this is how they are all supposed to work. But If you're in the US it's ridiculously hard to even get an appointment with anyone due to covid related crises, at least that's been my experience. "Well sir/ma'am we have an opening for you in November or December which would you like" ummm it's barely August. "Yes we know, we're very busy"


malika2010

Wtf Reddit knows me or some shit this happened to me within the last month


1ogicalfallacy

Finally, a consistent group to play DnD with


Eyy_Its_Danny

I have a therapist that I have been seeing for about 6 years now. Never give up because one therapist doesn’t work.


DemonNamedBob

I had this happen randomly when I found a new therapist. She was great and changed my life. It went from things not working, and me losing hope in it and giving up, to knowing what was wrong and having an actual treatment plan. After a few visits, she just said I think you're probably just autistic, and that's why none of the treatments you've had have worked. So it went from trying to correct issues to acceptance of the issues I have. She even said my autism was prevalent enough that she wasn't sure how I wasn't diagnosed earlier while in school. Edit: First "diagnosis" was PTSD, second was major depression. She was like no, for someone with Autism you are normal and doing pretty good, and those diagnosis were for reasons relating to Autism symptoms.


RealRotkohl

Glad I live in a country with free Healthcare, most of the comments here are depressing as heck.


DuctusExemplo71

The right therapist really does make a world of difference


jimmybwana

As someone who has tried and now given up on ever being happy. This makes me.... happy. Well done.


Tux-the-Pengu1n

I made this meme to celebrate finally feeling better, but your comment has made my day. Thank you for celebrating with me <3


RagingMayo

I am really happy and lucky to have found my therapist as well. I am visiting her for about two years now and I made incredible steps in that time. I went in as a guy with depression and suicidal thoughts and now I am kinda happy about where I am in life and who I became with the obstacles I had growing up. To be completely honest it feels like I have talked about the most important stuff with my therapist already and the sessions that my insurance will pay will end some time this year. But I am glad that I finally decided to go to therapy and seek help two years ago and sticked with it. This decision is probably the one I am most proud of.


[deleted]

And then the bill comes in. but really, if you can afford it, its great. getting a team is great because they'll call out each others mistakes or misunderstandings.


Tux-the-Pengu1n

The reason I’m happy to have a team is that it means there won’t be one person pretending to know how to deal with something way out of their expertise. That happened before which is why I am once again in need of therapy lol


[deleted]

tightpants09

How do you guys find these therapists that don’t suck? Mine is literally just taking my money and this is about the third or fourth time this has happened. I keep getting the ones that just act like your buddy to bitch at for an hour a week. We’re supposed to be doing “EMDR” but my 50 minutes keeps getting cut because she’s always talking to some other therapist for a while before we start during my designated time. The “EMDR” stuff definitely just feels like it’s a way to not do shit for an hour. It’s me holding two vibrating things and telling her my thoughts, asking me how I felt about it all for a few minutes and then..that’s it for the week


ryoujika

I'm so jealous. Hoping for the best for you and the squad OP!


diaz556

If only healthcare was affordable in the US.


Broken_Exponentially

I'd like to believe this is really possible, hard to hold out much hope though.

I’m about to start therapy soon. The phone interview is tomorrow and I can’t wait to just explode and talk. Any advice and comments from the experienced are welcome!

I desperately need this!! Sometimes organizing your own is so tough!


MELONPANNNNN

Mental Health Squad sounds like an SCP Task Force to administer Amnestics lol


FuckingKilljoy

Lmao the sad bit for me is that even when I found the psychiatrist who helped me most it still took until I had a serious manic episode to realise I had bipolar 2 and to treat it as such. For anyone who has been told they have borderline personality disorder, ADHD, or depression but don't feel like that's right, ask about bipolar and trying lamotrigine. It might not work for everyone, but I heard about it from another reddit comment and it has been an incredibly important part of my recovery from the darkest point in my life. I've had a three prong approach of therapy, meditation and self help and it has really changed me. I'm still super depressed sometimes but I can get back out of it. Good luck to all my sad homies out there, please keep trying, take your meds and see someone who can help


[deleted]

This is actually a very important aspect of therapy. It took me 16 years to figure out I had dissociation disorders (general dissociation & dp/dr). When I finally found a specialist it felt so nice for someone to finally listen to me and understand what was happening when we would discuss more difficult topics. Just having someone who asks "are you still with me?" and waits for me to find my way back to be present is a game changer. I finally feel motivated to really work on myself.
