Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
1. The recommended fee here for a psychologist is 170$ for 50 minute assessment & 170$ for every 50 minute session. Wow. Better talk fast. :(:meh:
2. All I can think is that would support a family of 3 or 4 for 8 1/2 months overseas. :meh:
3. Expensive to be ill. Or well? :(
4. Discouraging. :( But.. more cost effectively I'd probably derive more happiness giving to a family. Surely 3 or 4 people with reduced stress helps as much than 1 session spent fighting this :nailbiting::speechless: .
5. I could support a lot of families if I were a psychologist!

1. I'm glad you can @Missycat . :hug:
2. No, I have other financial things pressing & no disposable income for non-life-essentials like that.
3. It can be tempting for me to think something I can't do, or can't have, like a psychologist, would be the be-all-end-all solution, but I know from life experience not necessarily.
4. I figure God knows what I have to work with. God knows too this is the first time I would have 50 minutes free to sit & 'talk'.
5. I find other things healing. I suppose too I do know my own limitations on trust, disclosure, lack of desire to speak, inability to know where to even start. :(
1. It does disturb me, that it's skewed to those with more resources, or less dependents. Many who need it the most are least likely to be able to afford it, especially as many people are struggling too much to work, or work at their full capacity. It also gives the impression it's 'outside the scope' of medical need/ requirement.
2. It does unfortunately remind me of the very old joke of the idle wealthy, being self-involved, getting your nails & hair done & going to therapy. :rolleyes: I can do my nails in under 3 minutes on a moving bus, my hair does what it wants, & I'm more likely to be working on the roof than going shopping- & I'd prefer it! :roflmao: I do talk fast though- unfortunately probably on some unnecessary topic...Could I get a rebate if I asked them about their day instead? :)
3. Well God-only-knows, :rolleyes: .
4. I must say too, I work my arse off, so I would be weighing how much work it took versus benefit, I seriously can't visualize any psychologist (or rather my interaction with them) being worth 170$ for 50 minutes. I can, however, visualize putting 170$ towards a bill, a gift, or those in need bringing me far greater satisfaction & relief.
5. You know, I was the person voted 'most likely to succeed', :roflmao::sick: . Oops. :( How thankful I am to have needs met, & how much less stress life holds without worry of such needs.

1. If I were 'filthy rich', I'd own a T-shirt over my bikini, and help change the lives & reduce the stress of everyone in need I could. How a relative little could help so many so much. I would be very happy, & very tanned, lol.:happy::joyful:
2. Fun to dream. :)
3. Hugs to all. :hug:

1. On a serious note, I was thinking I'm happy:
-I got the offer of a psychologist
-the decision is made/ out of my hands atm, due to options/ non-options, so I know what's meant to be or not
-I've received help in a manner & non-cost that helped save my life/ did not cause damage
2. I feel happy/ relieved that:
-I feel confident my friend will tell me if it's too difficult at any time/ don't have to worry about him being harmed, because it's not right ptsd should harm another, too
-I am just happy to identify triggers
-I do not feel like the past is what I want to focus on
-I can address the past/ other's actions in a way I can live with
3. I know where this goes- we all know where life goes- so I'd like to concentrate on living whatever time is left
4. I should go to bed! :)

I fell asleep at 11 and woke up at 4am.
It's the first time Ive considered 4am early in the morning instead of late at night for a long time.
I really am very unsure of what I think of cats. They are high maintenance personalities.
I love my dog very much. He ate pizza and watched the sunset at the beach last night. I have to carry him to where the sand
is smooth now because he cant make it down to the water.
I wish I didnt have to deal with traffic and going to court today.

Anxiety levels down somewhat, relief
Have to get some things in the mail today.
Was proactive on joining another job agency today thanks to a peer
Had nightmares that I do not remember, yay.
I will go for a walk later on.
