what can you do if you don't have insurance?

Hi everyone. I'm new o the group. A little back-info on me... I'm a 24 year old mother of 2. I've had a history of depression since I was 13. My last actual diagnosis was "Borderline Personality Disorder" and that was about 5 years ago. I am very proud of the fact that I haven't needed to go to a therapist or be on medications for about 4 years. I've had my ups and downs but I've been able to work through them but now I'm afraid it's getting the better of me. I just had my daughter on August 18th and I'm afraid I may have post partum depression. It's getting to the point where I'm having thoughts that I haven't had in years... and it scares me. I have so much stress from so many different places that I really... I dunno... I guess I'm just really depressed. I'm overweight from both my 1st and 2nd pregnancies (I can't seem to lose the baby fat) and my parents never stop reminding me of it. They always hav to comment on my love handles or say how I need to exersize and I know that right now, that's not helping... it's making me worse. Right now I'm still on the state insurance (I was on it for my pregnancy) but I believe it will run out in just over a week (they usually only give you until 6 weeks post partum... although I haven't gotten the notice in the mail so maybe I wont get kicked off it...) so I wont be able to start seeing a therapist or be on a Rx because I wont be able to afford it. So what am I supposed to do? Does anyone have any nonmedical methods that have helped you? Thank.
