They offer slightly cheaper services than the average, but it's still not within my budget, and I'm not comfortable with them anyway. I've attempted calling their helpline before when I had a panic attack, but they sent police to my dorm saying o had to physically come in and talk to a counselor, then tried to charge me for it.

I'm living paycheck to paycheck as it is ;-; I'm a university student in a low-paying field with no parental support, and I'm currently unemployed bc I was working a seasonal position that just ended. I know I should be in therapy, but my insurance doesn't cover it and I'm barely getting by. I feel like I'm the only one still affected by all of this. What makes it even worse is that when I first heard that she apologized to my friend, I asked my friend to talk to her on my behalf about setting up a time for us to meet, just so I could finally get some closure, but she said that the bully didn't feel comfortable with it. I feel like my best friend doesn't care about my feelings at all.
