I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.

dude.

$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.

when i tore my ACL i was mainly crying and refused to go to the hospital for 3 days because i didn’t have health insurance and didn’t wanna be stuck in debt with thousands and thousands of dollars. the surgeons i met told me about this and had a social worker there ready to help, i paid NOTHING for my appointments and surgery.

I keep hearing: “Everything is racist to you, huh? Why bring up race all the time?” Well. It’s a luxury to never have to think about race and racism. Then when it’s brought up, you get to be “tired” immediately. Also tiring? Suffering racism. Everyday. Really, really tiring.

One of the nicest things you can do for someone is listen to them when they speak to you, with no other intention than to just listen.

This reminds me, if y'all haven’t heard of therapyforblackgirls.com please visit if you need a therapist. You can search by mental health need, location/distance, insurance, etc. I believe there are some that provide a sliding scale payment method for those without insurance.

If you’re not quite ready to make the jump, there is a podcast you can listen to as well as articles and links to help answer some of your questions about mental health and/or therapy.

The purpose, as I understand it, is to provide a place where black women can go to find culturally sensitive therapy. Some specialize in family/couples as well.

Take a look.

For any black Women following me! 

Taking care of your mental health is another important factor in your overall health. Fighting for good mental health is a fight worth doing, and is just as difficult, if not moreso, than physical fighting.

Especially with everything going on right now. We constantly hear how strong we are and it’s like no we can be tired, emotional, stressed too and we need to take care of our mental health. Here are some free therapy sessions that I’ve seen going around. Please share
