(it's just hard for me to vent anywhere else bc there are people monitoring my discord/tumblr and keeping tabs on me but never actually talking to me)

@tenta Have you spoken with a therapist about this?

@PaulFerence i can’t afford a therapist, and the one free one i went to was very condescending

@tenta Try a different free one?

@PaulFerence i really don’t have the time nor spoons to do so

@tenta I have some time and spoons to burn. Give me the criteria you're looking for, and I can send you back a list of appropriate contacts.

@PaulFerence i don’t even know what to look for.

@tenta What city are you in? Is online okay? Do you know the kind of therapy you're looking for? What issues are you trying to address?

@PaulFerence san antonio. sure. no. don't know. pretty much all my issues are caused by money + prior abuse

@tenta

The U of T at SA has free counseling:

And this one is open to women between 13 - 30 who've experienced sexual abuse, or general abuse as a child:

Also, and I'd look into this one first, there is free financial counseling provided by the city, and they might be able to help you find more therapist options:

@PaulFerence i appreciate it, though most of the other issue is that i don't think therapy will actually help me lol i really need medication and therapists can't give me that

@tenta Start with the financial counselor, they may be able to point you to someone who can. :)
