So today I was told by a non-profit organization, of all places, that I need to go get a medical coupon and it will take at least two weeks to clear. Other organizations I have contacted seem to be ignoring my request for help. This is very disturbing to me that a person who is so obviously in distress cannot get help quicker.

I am having break-downs more frequently, and almost anything seems to set me off. Today my cat was missing for all of two hours and I began uncontrollably crying thinking she may have been hit by a car or worse.

I also found out that I messed up on my financial aid for school, something I've been waiting for 12 years to do and won't be able to go until winter quarter.

ARRRG! I just want everything to be fixed now so I can move on with my life and find me again.
you have to be healthy to get health care
because if you are too stressed out to jump through the hoops, you don't get the help
you have to wait until you are healthy enough to to make all the phone calls, medical forms, etc (if you become healthy enough) I don't wonder anymore why people end up on the streets or stay sick on disability
