This is such a frustrating thing! I don't understand why they won't make real therapy more accessible for people.

Government and insurance only provide for psychiatrists, and out of the more than dozen I was made to see they uniformly sucked at any kind of talk therapy. It was just clumsy interrogation followed by medication, and that's it.
Rich people with nonsense issues have access to expert psychologists... while the folks with severe disorders are almost all poor and treated like guinea pigs for arbitrary dosing and hypothetical-mode-of-action drugs.

More than anything, I wanted coping methods. I wanted advice. Like most people, I'd grown up with the tv inspired belief that there was some trained professional that would be there if you really needed it.
The last one I ever saw was also the one I'd seen for the longest. She ran a gov sponsored program for treating the most severe disorders, they would send a taxi every week to make it easy for the family.
At some early stage she decided I must have been abused as a child, and our "sessions" revolved around her trying to pry some kind of "blocked" memories out of me, despite whatever I needed to talk about that week. Finally one day she blurts in frustration "I don't understand you" (in general, it wasn't about hearing me or anything). That was it for me... I quit the program because there was no point in seeing someone who had even less of an idea what to make of my problems than I did.
After that I went it alone... the first regular people I talked to again was online here at BYC. I still only socialize here, lol. But I found my own coping methods in time. Sought rationality the way a thirsty person seeks water. The first step was to cultivate a positive mindset. I have a tendency towards cynicism that needed beating back with a stick. And I think I did good for a while, but this year has been harder. I still wish I could talk to one of those good tv doctors, lol.

Good grief, H2o! This is just about unbelievable. And pretty darn close to unconscionable. My heart hurts for you.

This is a corn project that I’m doing. While I’m not wanting really tall corn , my tallest stalk is right at 132” (11’). I planted the beans right in amongst the corn to see how it would do. The inspiration is partly from my childhood history lesson on how the Native Americans did their crops and also what the farmers in Bolivia did when we were down there.

It’s genetically all the same, but multi colored.

ended up with "good/big" Thunderstorm with lightening and some MUCH needed rain.
Nothing like having a triple severe weather alert. for fire, storms and wind.

I have always wondered why such huge/tall stalks for one to two ears of corn. Seems like a waste of nutrients and such.

What type of beans did you plant with the corn ??

That's .... unfortunate, h2o. Even as isolated as I am, I can get a therapist if I want/ need one. Even my kids have/ had one. Because they came from foster care, they were court ordered to be in counseling, we all were.

Through my ins. They are so understaffed they won’t even make me an appt. I don’t think I can afford out of pocket fees
