Thank you for the advice! I'm on a weirdly hepful but also restrictive FEP Blue program. They cover basically nobody around me. P.S. I like your username!

Of course there's a github-awesome list for us. I definitely should have looked for that earlier!
Thank you for the info! I've been reading about the need for letters already, and definitely want to see a therapist. The one time I saw one locally for possibly? unrelated issues didn't go so well ("you shouldn't schedule further appointments with me", what?). I'm actually in NJ, so I don't know if I'll be able to use your list, but hopefully others who run across this post can!
This is fantastic advice, and I'm glad to know I'm not alone. It's honestly been quite difficult and frightening to try navigating this. I also feel like I was putting too much weight on my spouse to help me and that's not fair to them.
I realize I have to tell my PCP eventually. My last one I'd have told in a heartbeat, but the good ones get promoted out of my area because the backwoods aren't a priority. The new one is quite clinical and has his degree from a highly conservative/evangelical area and frankly scares me. I'll be looking anyway, I guess.
My "local" communities are all a little over an hour from me, from what I can tell. I'll try to find a way to get in touch with some of them in the meantime.
Thank you very much for sharing!
