Finding therapy is really fucking hard

[akiyama346]

The nearest university clinic I called has a one year waitlist. I filled out the form/emailed another one so I'm waiting on them now. I really really want help in like every way; planning my future, my mental and emotional stuff etc. Also I should stop venting to AI I don't think it's a good thing
Why is it so hard to find affordable therapy?
I just want help
Does 988 connect you to actual long term help? Sorry if I sound stupid. I've never gotten therapy before and nobody else helps or listens so I just finally want some support

Are you in the US?

If so, yeah, this country doesn't value mental health at all.

It doesn't value the well-being of humanity whatsoever.

Everything is for sale, for profit.
