A plague on Humana

My employer pays for my health insurance. For this, I am eternally grateful.

My insurance is through Humana. For this, I am not so grateful. Here's my problem. I am to go see a psychiatrist on Thursday to help me with some very real problems that my general practitioner has been unsuccessful in treating.

But because this guy's a head doctor and not a "real doctor," I am stuck paying my deductible, up to $1,000 BEFORE Humana pays a dime.

I can't even begin to tell you how this is killing me. I basically cannot afford to get the help I need, which besides being bad unto itself, makes me feel even more anxious about the whole situation. Man, I was living for this appointment. I was telling myself that this would finally be the genesis from which I could fix things. And, now, Humana is basically dooming me. I can't take it. Somebody please give me one good reason to continue to get out of bed in the morning.
