Frustrated over lack of resources (tw: illness)

I have trauma from illness. My husband is now ill, and my cptsd is constantly triggered from that. I'm trying my hardest, but weekly therapy isn't enough. I had already asked her about other resources, and I'm waiting to hear back. But I've researched so much, and I can't find ANYTHING in my area or available to me thru virtual. Anything I find always has a problem. Either, it's not applicable to me (ie gender specific group), it's not accessible where I am, they don't take my insurance and it's too expensive, etc. I am so frustrated!! I'm trying sooo hard to find more support, and literally everywhere I look, I come up with nothing but dead ends. There's just nothing where I live, and all the virtual stuff seems inaccessible to me.


How does everyone else survive? Because I'm at my wits end and don't know what to do.

That sounds overwhelming and frustrating. It must be draining trying to navigate these dead ends and roadblocks. I understand how frustrating it can feel to seek support and keep encountering obstacles. It must be difficult to cope with your trauma and your husband's illness without the additional resources you need. What emotions come up the most as you search for more support?

What specific resources are you trying to find?
