I had a call with a government agency recently about benefits. I was asked why I didn't seek therapy.
I told the truth. My benefits did not include therapy. It was not financially viable for me to seek therapy.
Government worker had nothing in their script for that and simply said nothing and moved on to the next question.
It is maddening that we as a society are expected to play dumb about the shortcomings of our government.
