How can you afford 20 years of therapy? I feel like that's a crippling amount of money.

it was free.

Nice. It would have to be free, I would never want to pay for it at the rates that are charged.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yup. it's pretty bullshit that mental health isn't free, yet a lot of other medical stuff is (at least where i live)

More importantly how can you afford that but not a yearly basic check up with your doctor?

Your americanism is showing :)

as the other commenter said, that's a somewhat uniquely american thing. I just visit the doctor when something is wrong with me. If there's nothing wrong, there's no need to go to the doctor.
