I am actually doing that now. I love it. And I love the therapist I have.
In a way it is so much easier to talk about things that would otherwise be a bit harder face to face. I am very happy I made the decision.
You should try it. I have no complaints or regrets in my decision. It is easier for me to speak openly with this person I will never meet. And I can do it in the comfort of my own home
Big fan of online. I dont think ill go in person again. Just so easy to connect and get support
I cancelled online therapy. I got my Dr to give me a referral to a psychologist
I have been reading about it. From what I understand, it is a good option for people without 'major' mental health issues, but there's the usual disclaimer everywhere about it not being the same as face to face therapy. I'm in Alabama and, for the moment, using Medicaid as insurance. I'm sorry of stuck because 1) Medicaid is HORRIBLE 2) Alabama is even more horrible. There been a policy on the books here since either 2014 or 2016, that allows for teletherapy but when I called everyone from the state health organization to Medicaid itself nobody had a clue what I was talking about. I had to call Medicaid 4 times before I got anything and even then I still had to look up the policy and regs and explain what it said! I'm so tired of all the stuff!
Amanda51797,
There are times I go to a store and if it is not my normal store or if the employees are not the regular ones I get anxious and nervous. To the point if panic attic. One time I stopped for gas and it was someone new working and she looked at me like I was a drug addict and should be in a straight jacket in a rubber room. It was awful.
I have my safe stores. They know me and they do not treat me or act differently towards me. They are use to my weirdness and are use to me. If I go and i'm not my normal me they think i'm sick or something
