If you're ever in a spot where you've got the means and are thinking about getting one but need a hand getting started with, it def feel free to @ me, super happy to share my experiences with it. For me it was a lot easier to jump through all the hoops they put in front of treatment for "can't jump through hoops disorder" once I knew what the process was
