Well I was talking to a psychologist of sorts today about my problems. The lady has worked a lot with PTSD and such but she's now retired.

She told me that I have Complex PTSD and that i should seek a counselor that specializes in this. Ive never heard of this before, So of course I googled it and I fit the bill pretty much 100%. I would like to speak with someone hence my reason for talking to this lady, but I live in a very rural area and I have no idea if I could even afford to see such a specialist! I'd have to travel for sure.

I do know all the normal counselors I've spoken to don't understand, they just try to treat onelittle thing and leave the rest of me to go to shit. It never works, iI just get pissed at them all and they tell me they don't know how to help. So perhaps this lady knows what she's talking about and I do need a specialist. I guess its not a bad idea, but how will I afford this?

Idk how I'll ever speak to anyone if I don't have star insurance. Anyone know about this at all? At this point I can't even afford my own apartment and medicade doesn'teven cover specialists. I Have a little coverage from my chronic migraines, I got medicaid for that BC I can't work but it barely covers my migraine meds and it was a fight to get them to let me see a headache specialist so I know anything else is out of the question considering the places don'teven take medicaid in the first place.

Any ideas? Experience? Uh help?

Have you discussed your options with
the lady and the counselors you have spoken with?

She said she isn't sure, there use to be some way the state payed but I don't think it still exists. As for the other counselors, Irefuse to speak with them. It was a cconstant juggling me around and I only found 2 that had any sense at all and after about 2 months where I made a little progress they ripped the rug out and dumped me with some dumb ass again. And of course I would call the other 2 if i had abproblem instead of the idiots so they put a block on me (which I quickly got around) and then they told me iI was 'to use to them so I'dhave to be hospitalized as punishment for not seaking help from my asogned counselor.' so iI got the hell out of there!!!

That's the only organization near me and I'm pretty sure they are clueless if they use the mental unit as punishment. Been there and would rather die a painful death than go back in.
