Had a really productive day yesterday. Worked. Had lunch with H, a handsome, successful white-collar man I met when working at the Harley dealership. I may see him again.
I had my first therapy appt with a new provider. Turns out, I can qualify for services for just $5 a visit! I needed this break. I’ve been struggling so much these past months that I think weekly therapy can help me for a little while. *this past week not included, I’ve been feeling better!
Being able to get services like this makes me curious, how? I want to speak to the ED, Laura Totty, about how the agency is able to afford to provide services to someone like me, as much as I make, for little or no cost. I wonder, how are they paid? Is it Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration funding?? Federal funding?
It makes me want to go to a meeting of the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and catch up on what’s been going on in the Commonwealth.
I’m so grateful for being caught in the system. I make too much to qualify for Medicaid, too little to live comfortably. Or at least how I have been living.
And it makes me want to give back. Maybe I’ll get back into WRAP programming and being a provider.
I let my family know about my luck yesterday.
I also let my brother know of my most recent work complication and learned that I can speak about him helping me with confidence. I will put a stop to what started at my next opportunity. What happened Tues really was unbelievable.
Here I am, almost out of coffee and ready to work on Friday. I feel good!
I feel inspired to work on my financial challenges and creative ways to make more money, including ways to re-open Recovery Resources & Support. Who knows what the future holds?
I’m grateful for my family and my friends, Riley and my freedom.
