I have had severe depression all my life, I'm 24. I feel like I can barely do my job, and my health insurance costs are going up. The deducible is going up by $450, the out of pocket max is going up by $1,000. I have been working at my job for almost 5 years now, and I have hit my out of pocket max each year trying to help myself get better only to find I'm worse year by year. Now I have a girlfriend, whom I love, but she likes to spend any and all of her income. She has a $750 hospital bill now, and she doesn't have the money so she asks money from me, and I am not even affording our house payments. I'm losing money every month instead of saving a little every month and she still expects the world. We don't spend any time together, as she works all day every day, and goes to basketball games without me (since I hate sports) when she's off. The most I see of her is usually just a few seconds between me getting up getting ready for work, and she's asleep. I have a commute that can range from 1-2 hours one-way to work. When I am home, I have to clean the whole house because my girlfriend isn't going to want to clean it since she works a lot more than I do, so I have no free time. Add on top of that that I am taking new meds that cost $150 a month and all they do is make me super tired, so I have to spend extra time sleeping. Yeah, my life is hell. I would have preferred not to have been born. I honestly don't know how much longer I can go on like this before I snap completely.
