signed up for a plan today since I now "make too much" for assistance with Medicaid. The plan is not really that bad. I am going to have a hard time paying for all of my Rxs. I am feeling very defeated. I just want for my life to be over. I don't mean anything to anyone.

Going to bed now

I'm glad you're able to get a decent plan...and I hope you can swing the rx's. You deserve some good sleep and a pat on the back for getting your insurance together while not feeling well. Hugs x

I second the motion TC

Getting insurance when you are very depressed is no easy task....

I know it's been a bit of a rough patch but I hope one step at a time it gets better and easier.....

((((hugs)))) fingers crossed!

I really enjoy reading your commentary. I think that you have a clear voice throughout your writings and I enjoy reading them. I know that you are getting through some depressed times (which sucks), but I know that I want to be along for the ride (am rooting for a turn of events!) Please continue being honest and continue writing. I really like your style.

I feel like you've been down and out for so long, TC! I just want to wrap you up and give you lots of hugs until you feel a bit better!!

Good for you for getting an insurance plan together. Don't worry too much about your Rx's just yet! Many companies provide additional help - sometimes with a letter from your doctor, sometimes just with coupons. Sometimes doc's offices will have free samples. Sometimes with your insurance plan comes a decent Rx plan. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

I'm glad that even though you're feeling as lousy as you are, you continue to post! As defeated as you feel, you're taking steps to better your life and that means the world!

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...
