10. There are no real resources available, at least not in my area.

Someone suggested a Jewish Community Center. So I called and called and called some more. It took them six weeks to return my call.

I tried a couple of churches that offer counseling. The cheapest rate I found was $80/hour and being unemployed, I can’t afford that.

I’ve seen my PA and she offered medication. I’ve considered it but I’d simply rather not get that started if I don’t have to. Since I dealt with this successfully BEFORE the pandemic, I’d prefer to learn how to deal with it now rather than resort to meds.
