I've known for about a year that I need therapy, but it wasn't until today that I realize how bad I need it. My insurance allows me to go with only a $20 copay, but I'm out of work currently so it's just not an option atm. My question is though, do I ask my doctor for a referral to a therapist or what? I'm very skeptical about finding a good one cause the healthcare here is shit. My state is #45 in healthcare (pretty much everything is rated way up there, it sucks so much I can't wait to move) I really need one. I was on the phone with my mom talking for nearly an hour and I felt so bad because I shouldnt throw all that on her.

I haven't had these diagnosed yet, but I'm pretty sure I have depression, anxiety, and a bit of PTSD from my sister and ex
