BPD - Medicare
It's been a while since I've been on here and forgot the instant release of pressure when I read others posts. I have BPD and have therapy twice a week.
I want to share something that made me meltdown so badly that it was almost the end... MEDICARE will only help you for 50 visits to see a psychiatrist a calendar year. After 50 you are on your own. I had to pay $150 twice a week for over 3 months and have no savings at all now. So want you all to be aware. If once a week you should be fine. Half price therapy is still a damn heap of money for a student that works part time.
Luckily after 4 years my mum acknowledges my illness and has said she can help this year.
