5. I have inquired about it before.

And, they referred me to some clinic. One that des not take my insurance. One that, like so many others, are far more concerned with their bottom line than my health. I do not have the riches needed to get real help. And, having tried several times over the years to find it with my county or state, all they ever wanted to do was toss pills at me. Nothing else, except in one county facility where I was able to meet with a psychiatrist for fifteen minutes once a month. What help! And all he did was constantly harp on me to go get a job so I could afford to go to his private practice and pay him to do what he was suppose to be doing at the clinic. I replied that if I could get a job, manage to stay employed and able to afford his 'help', I would not be there in the first place. I stormed out and have never tried to find help again. The only real mental help in this nation is priced so that only the top tier can get it. And, that is because they don't want the masses to seek help for things. Getting help usually means losing wage slaves, so the top percentile does not want that to happen. At all. So, here I sit, wishing that I was not suffering from 'survival instinct', because then I could finally end this stupid crap.
