I'm a remarkably privileged, cishet white male. I have advantages in America that few have, and yet there's still a story in my life that makes me say Fuck America.
I had worked two years with a psychologist on some deep-seated trauma. We were at a critical point in my therapy. My marriage was on the rocks and there were some behavioral patterns that I had that was contributing to it. I was making real progress with this therapist.
I was on my dad's insurance, and his employer decided to switch insurance plans to save money. My therapist wasn't able to be in the network for that insurance plan, which meant my treatment was full price out of pocket. I was on the hook for $100 a week, and I couldn't afford it.
I stopped therapy and began spiraling. My marriage ended a few months later, and I attempted suicide at the end of the year.

I'm better now, but seriously, fuck America.
