I was teaching for over 8 years but back in November I fell into a terrible depression. I took FMLA and during this time decided I didn't want to go back to teaching. I wasn't happy with it and I felt a lot of anxiety being in the classroom. I gave my resignation letter this month and my insurance coverage ends next week.
I applied for health coverage through Obamacare and because I am between jobs I may qualify for Medicaid. I'm suppose to be contacted by the state but it's going on 2 weeks, I'm going to try contacting them tomorrow.

I'm on short term disability until May, but have looked into a part time job starting next month. Tomorrow I'm going to see about classes to become a medical assistant.

My concern is insurance. I need my meds, psychiatrist, and therapist! I'm worried that very soon I won't have what I need to keep stable.
