Edit. I want to kill myself reading the comments. Guess it's because I deserve it as a toxic male.

      He did also mention getting a CBT workbook and going through it yourself if you can’t afford therapy

      It doesn’t always. Like I said, community mental health clinics + CBT workbooks can help a lot as well if you don't have insurance that helps cover therapy. Community mental health clinics adjust rates based on income.

      My state's version of medicare also covers therapy, although finding a therapist who takes that can be challenging.

      For some people, medication is another tool that can make a difference. Not for everyone, but life changing for those who it benefits.

      Mental healthcare in general right now is pretty impacted because of the pandemic, but it's still worth seeing if you can schedule an appointment. 1-2 months wait to get started isn't unusual right now from what I've heard from friends.
