I think each zip code is funded by different sponsors. We signed up recently as well and the sponsors for our area look like just regular folks, not an organization. But If I put in a city zip code it tells me the sponsor is in Peduto’s office. So I think we’re “safe”.

It almost sounds like you want to use your pill as an excuse to use your regular purse.

Regardless, I wouldn’t risk it. Having gone to shows and games there, the security doesn’t really want to hear your reasoning, they just want to get everyone in the door. And if it’s a “no phone” event they’re even less likely. Especially if it’s a rainy cold night and people are already pissy about waiting to get in.

The last game we went to there was a steady stream of women turned away for “close to” sized clutch purses. Nothing against the security folks, I just wouldn’t want to be faced with putting my purse in the trash or missing a show.

Following up on the above comment, you’ve tried a variety of meds, but what kind of therapists have you used? Cognitive behavioral? Trauma? Social? Talk based?

I’ve skipped around a bunch of different kinds of therapy, and agree with you that it’s hard to find a match (and then one that takes your insurance, ha!). You can swap out meds with a regular primary care physician, but the treatment you’re actually getting might not be right. I’ve ghosted more than one therapist that just wanted to talk about my issues with my mother, and not about why I was unable to get out of bed for weeks at a time.
