27 F had a stroke at 26, a year later.

I had a stroke when I was 26 due to my birth control, or so we think since there is nothing else to accredit it. I won't go into too many details about what I experienced during it. However afterwards I couldn't speak well and had memory loss for a long time, maybe 5 months? Luckily that returned for the most part.

I'm a little over a year later, and I'm still having emotional outbursts, crying uncontrollably, have no support system whatsoever to deal with this change in my personality. I've talked to my neurologist who just told me to go to therapy and prescribed me an SSRi-the problem is: I called up the only psychiatry and psychology clinic that is covered by my insurance three times in the past year and they haven't been accepting new patients and I don't feel comfortable taking an SSRi without working side by side with therapy.

I know I'm lucky to have come out mostly unscathed but I've completely shifted in personality and self control; I'm seeking some kind of support from others who can maybe relate to what it is I'm going through and willing to listen to any advice anyone may have to maybe make this easier on myself.

Thank you sincerely to anyone who reads this and responds.
