Yes, healed, I can definitely relate!
Without good insurance, I don't know what I would do-and, like you, I would love to be able to use the money for something other than my health. I take 4 drugs for mental disorders, 2 for high blood pressure, 1 for high cholesterol, 1 for low thyroid, strips and kit for diabetes/sugar check, and three supplements. I see the t at least once a week, the pdoc once a month, and my family doc about once a month on average. I find all of this very discouraging because I try very hard to do everything the docs tell me-I exercise, I try to keep a pretty healthy diet, and, when I am not hypomanic-like now, I drink very little.(hypomania is a different story on that one!)
I sometimes wonder what would happen if I stopped all of it-not in a crazy way, but slowly, another reason I have to go to therapy each week-so I don't do anything like this.
