It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

That's awful. In general psychiatrists/nurse practitioners (all the one who can prescribe meds) suck at doing therapy. They are first and foremost medical practitioners and they only really care about you being upright, and not about your quality of life, like every other doctor/nurse.
You really need a psychologist/licensed clinical social worker for talk therapy. The problem is many of them especially good ones don't take insurance. Many do sliding scale payments though, so its not impossible to find it affordably but its still not easy.
Its a pretty shitty system, that makes it hardest for the people who need it most to access it. Unfortunately that's why talk therapy often gets stigmatized as a luxury, or as like pointless or indulgent, because the people who can most easily access therapy can because of privilege or self indulgence. Which sucks, because it can be enormously helpful to people.
