For those suffering with mental health issues: have you cut/put off seeing a therapist for the sake of either saving money or not being able to afford doing so?
For the last few years, I’ve stopped seeing a therapist simply due to the costs and needing the money to pay debts and get by.
I finally felt like I was in a somewhat better place financially to go back and see someone, but with everything now going on, I can’t help but feel like I should just continue to prioritize paying off debts and saving as much as I possibly can. I can’t help but be anxious of potential layoffs (though there’s no talks about it in my company, but mentally preparing for the slightest possibility due to all these tariff concerns), cost of living going up more than it is now, etc.
Anyone else in this same dilemma? What have you done or what are you doing to cope?
