Ah...okay...I am slowly figuring out how to follow the threads on the forums. I am happy to share what I know. What are you particularly interested in?
I am a pretty open book, although I was not until recently. I've finally come to accept and understand what it is I'm dealing with. It is largely due to the support group online through which you contacted me. There 3 doctors on there are most helpful, and I have become personal friends with the two moderators for the list. They are wonderful. Plus its free!
The cost of therapy in the states ranges from $100 an hour to upwards of $250 or more an hour and is often not covered by insurance. Most cannot afford the therapy, which is why the list is so helpful. Many therapists and doctors will work on a sliding scale though and depending on your income will bill you reasonably or work for free depending on your circumstance and luck.

Is this what you mean?
