I can't afford it on my own, I"m barely making ends meet and I'm not even sure I can afford my copay but I have to try. Trying to arrange something on my own on a sliding scale, I don't think I have the wherewithall, I'm barely managing to get up the energy to make these calls from my insurance list.

I pulled a whole bunch of new names to try but I can only work up the energy every few days and I think I'm spent this week... However my energy ebbs and flows so I'm bringing the list in today and I'll see if I the stars align.

I have been afraid to say I'm "in crisis" not wanting someone to say they aren't taking new patients but then feeling obligated to admit me to the hospital. However just saying "in crisis" sounds like a good way to prompt a call back. I think I have been saying that I'm seriously suffering, not really sure what my exact language has been in the messages but I should try this next call.

Thank you Onward.
