@tens4u5125 It's a really challenging place you find yourself in, and I'm sorry that you've been nearly abandoned. I know how difficult it can be to get the right medications and therapy. Do you feel well served by the therapist you're seeing? Because of where I live, there's a rapid turnover of therapists. They all move on to greener pastures $$$
I'm alive today because of some competent, caring doctors and therapists. I'm truly grateful that I have Medicare. Because of our low income, we recently were approved for even more help. We won't have to pay a Medicare premium, or premiums for supplemental insurance. And there's more! Our maximum out of pocket expense will be $3.60. We've been paying up to $75 for meds. I imagine that you would qualify for the same benefits. Do you know someone who could help you through all of this? Maybe through a senior center or a free legal aid. At our age, medical care is a very important part of our lives. I'm confident that there are people who can help you through this difficult time.
Stay in touch.

Hi - If your (limited) budget permits - why don't you see another psychotherapist. A good psychotherapist often works with a psychiatrist if you need / she thinks you need meds.
