I Can't Afford My Marxist Therapist
I'm just a little frustrated and sad because I finally found my dream therapist (a Marxist psychoanalyst) and he doesn't take insurance and I cannot afford 250 bucks a session. I understand why he doesn't want to take insurance, and his low-cost client spots are filled up. He has a family to take care of, I get it, but god I'm just sad. I feel like I'm making actual progress with him, but this month has been a motherfucker. We've had three months straight of house-guests, and one of my husband and my congregants lost their place and is staying in our spare room for now, when I just desperately want a little peace and privacy. Which is not to say I resent him. He's a lovely guy and very helpful around the house, but one doesn't want to go around weeping like a Victorian ghost in front of someone you're supposed to minister to, you know? (We're Satanists btw, liberation theology focused ones with a focus on Lucifer as a revolutionary) so yeah I'm just sad.
I also feel like I look old and in my industry (I make my money as a prodomme, pastoring we do for free) that's not ideal. I feel bad for how little money I've been making and feel even more unattractive as a result.

That all really sucks, fuck this system frfr. Is there an end date with the person you have in house? I can very much imagine how frustrating that is as never being able to completely let your guard down in your own home
