Did You Know Some Of You Are Counselors And Didn't Even Know It?

I sometimes wonder what some of my fellow Mylotters must think of me. I tell it like it is and share a lot of my personal life on here. That may be something others on here may either not agree with or might find rather pathetic. I used to go to counseling periodically to help me balance myself and cope with my lot in life. But, the free counseling I used to get is no longer available to me. There used to be a program where some counseling facilities had not yet graduates who needed a certain amount of hours of experience counseling in their employee and I would see one of those. They don't do it for free any longer so for the last three or four years I have had to find the counseling services where I could. Even sliding scale and the five or six a year that Medicare will pay for just isn't enough. I feel like I would need to tell my entire story to the counselor for that counseling to really have a handle on who I am, where I have been, why I am the way I am, etc. And can't be done in one or two sessions. Where on here I can give my full life bio and you folks I follow can give me their opinions on my worse of times. Or not as you choose. The cost has gone up too. It used to be about $75 a session and now it is $100 or more. They have some that will do it over the internet now too. Did you know that? Thank you to each and ever one of you who have given responses and your time answering my posts. When I am down and out I think that it really helps to just know others are out there and they care. Some more than others. And, some have experienced similar experience with their kids. It's like going to a group of women and men who have had some similar experiences in their lives. Thank you for your friendship and reading the posts. I appreciate your input in my posts and not thinking to harshly of me or the things that go down. I just love my kids and am doing the best I can to cope with them and their issues.
