The Cost of Mental Health Treatment

is it just me that thinks it's fucked up that I have to pay $4,000 for being in the mental hospital for trying to kill myself. I wasn't even planning on being on earth anymore and didn't have a choice to go to the mental hospital.

      Honestly, money is the reason I'm not in the hospital right now - hense the app & self-healing. It's awful being unable to support ourselves & our basic human needs. I hope you find the proper care & this world wakes up to its twisted ways of preventing people like us to heal properly. Money is one of the main complaints & reasons for daily stress that are spoken of in therapy, it's not your fault & you don't deserve to suffer any further because of some made up, paper (& now digital) money. You are REAL and you are LOVED.

        @ivylee I do but I have more debt I have to pay and I haven't added it all up yet. I'm honestly thinking about calling them and saying that I'll pay now if they cut it down to 2,000

      My bestfriend doesn't even get sent to mental hospitals sometimes she's sent to rehab centers for addicts they don't even have feminine hygiene products there. What you can do is call the hospital billing and get things knocked off the bill, and set up a payment plan.

        @Sadako I've tried several times to get financial assistance and they either don't answer or don't call me back when they say they will
