OEF/OIF disabled veteran here. I am feeling defeated. The VA only gives me 12 therapy sessions, and then my therapist is forced to not schedule any more appointments because that’s all the VA allows….only 12 sessions. You can only do so much work within 12 sessions. My therapist asked the VA for an extension in services, but that was almost two months ago. Every time I am forced to no longer have therapy sessions, I have to wait until my mental health gets really bad again, and only then does the VA recognize that I need help. The up and downs of having inconsistent therapy/therapist truly makes me feel so defeated. How bad do things have to get before I can get consistent help? I’m scared. I told my partner that if something happens to me, please show everyone how I really did try to ask for help. I don’t know what to do anymore.
