I have had agoraphobia for a few years now. So I went to get treatment on 7cups and YES my insurance covers it, but to allow me to to get help for my agoraphobia (I can't travel) the doctors says I have to come in to their office before I they will cover my 7cups therapy. How can they ask me to come in if they know I can't come in, in order to get help??

@genericbeing I'm sorry to hear you have agoraphobia. That has to be tough to deal with. Can the doctor do a facetime appointment at all? They should be putting you in their best interests. If you cannot go to them and they know it then I am unsure like yourself why they would ask if they know it troubles you. I would recommend asking if they can do a facetime meeting or something to help your needs in an easier way. I hope you get the help you need. My partner suffered with agoraphobia and it's not easy. Please take care of yourself

@Carloveremma911 I know it makes no sense to ask someone with agoraphobia to come in, maybe my doctor can do something if I call again

@genericbeing I would definitely recommend talking to your doctor again and just see if they can do anything to help the process be more comfortable for you. Usually there are people who can pick up and drop off without you having the stress of worrying about the situation. Have a word with doctor and see what he says. If you need any more help please don't hesitate to ask and we will be here to listen 🙂

@genericbeing that's sucks, sorry sweetie 🙁 there are normally charity workers or council workers who can help you with this sort of thing, without pressuring you to leave the house. But that's in the UK, so I'm not sure if there is for wherever you live😕 but it might be worth having a little look into it, hugs you tightly ❤

@genericbeing Sometimes the laws require them to only do in person visits for certain things.  It stinks but that could be the reason. Maybe you can bring a support person with you? A friend or family member to support you.

@compassionateMoon4024 Thanks for trying, but I really can't travel anywhere close to that far right now
