I'm very depress to the point I want to give up in life. I'm feel as if I am a nobody. I don't know what to do right now. I have to wait until next month to get the Abilify. I don't think I can wait that long for that.

I'm so sorry you are in such a terrible place Mona. I know exactly how you feel, but trust me you can do it, you can handle this even though it seems impossible. even if you don't believe it you are somebody just by existing, you have no idea how many people you have effected.

Hey Mona,

Just keep hanging on. The good thing about being bipolar is that we eventually swing out of our downs.

All the best to you. Hey, tell us whats going on, maybe airing things here can help clear your mind.

Can you go to the ER and get some abilify? I had to do that recently to get some lithium. It took 5 hours but I got what I needed. Take care and don't give up!

MonaP 02/17/2009

I don't have any health insurance to go to the ER.

deleted_user 02/17/2009

Mona, is the County Health Department anywhere
in shouting distance from you? You could go
there for some Abilify even though you don't
have health insurance. My hugs to you. Don't
give up! You will get better!

deleted_user 02/17/2009

if you have no insurance and have to wait bc of the money, you can try to get it directly from the manufacturer, they have programs for ppl without insurance and there are sites online to help you get the forms and fill them out for free. good luck

My doctor won't let me get that Abilify until I get on birth control. My appointment to the Health Department is on March 12. Long way to go.

deleted_user 02/18/2009

Why won't your pdoc help you? Have you told him how bad you're feeling?

MonaP 02/18/2009

He wanted me to get on birth control first. I'm like I am still in pain and I have to wait this long to get the medicine. I know it can cause birth defect but I'm taking Clonazepam and it can cause birth defect too. This is stupid.

deleted_user 02/18/2009

Can't you just use a condom or abstain until you get on BC? Then you could start Abilify and then get BC asap.

MonaP 02/18/2009

I told him the same thing but he wanted me on birth control still. stupid man

deleted_user 02/18/2009

Argh, I would be so pissed/frustrated.

MonaP 02/18/2009

Too late for that. I am already pissed.

deleted_user 02/18/2009

deleted_user 02/18/2009
