My co-pay per psych visit is $200. They originally wanted me to have a visit every month.

When I told their office that I can’t afford to pay that much each month, they told me, “We have installment plans.”

I responded, “So I can’t afford paying this amount, but you want me to still come here once a month, and your solution is monthly installment plans? … You see how that doesn’t help at all, right?”

No response.

Anyway, if I seem cranky in the near-future, it’s because I stopped going to that doctor and thus my stock of anti-depressant and anti-anxiety meds is running out. I’ll need to carefully taper myself down to avoid catastrophic consequences. It took an absurd amount of searching to even find a doctor accepting new patients in the first place, and I don’t want to have to go through all that just to wind up with more unaffordable bills. I don’t know what else to fucking do.
