This/I do not feel fine, but at least there’s troll coping to fill the void.

Edit: after venting to a friend about this during an anxiety attack, she gave me contact information to an office that was able to schedule me for next month. I feel very fortunate and relieved. I’m also extremely appreciative of not just her, but all of you! This is a wonderfully supportive community, you’re all amazing people

    That was the basic Aetna scam university health insurance if you didn’t have any. It was “required” to have something. The health center was great for the most part, but it was basically one psychiatrist for the entire school. He prescribed meds, that was it. If you wanted to see him for more than 5 minutes, you had to go to his private practice. If you wanted to talk to someone, you had to go to the counseling center next door. That visit really didn’t go well. I wanted to see the male counselor, but he was overbooked. Strangely enough, he ended up being my best friend’s father in law.

    The next year, they doubled the price of the “insurance” and I couldn’t afford it. Thankfully, it wasn’t enforced. Health wise, they were more worried about vaccinations and international students. Today, I have corpo insurance provided by the American machine.
