Holy crap! That's all I have to say about today's experience.

First, the person I was speaking to was doing a study on Binge Eating Disorder and participation in the study was free. However, after my 2 hour interview, I was told that I was not a good candidate for the study and there is a high likelihood that I am bulimic and this treatment they are studying does not work for bulimia. So she recommended that I go to Hopewell. Their website describes themselves as "eastern Ontario’s only eating disorder support centre".

But here is where it gets crazy:

I had no idea that psychiatrists, psychologists... even counsellors... cost that much money. I can't afford that even though I have a decent job.. how do those suffering from depression who don't have a good job get help? Everyone says how important it is to talk to a professional and get some help... but that's outrageously expensive.
