I have Obamacare. My previous provider moved out of state and referred me to the walk in clinic. They told me they’ll call me in 2 weeks to set up an appointment. It turned out they called me yesterday and said the earliest available appointment is in October. I took it.

In the meantime, that same department manager who refused to call me by my new name informally agreed to be my “therapist.” Not knowing my diagnosis, he immediately said I’m borderline and he was right! I was formally diagnosed 3 months ago. I don’t look up to that department manager like I looked up to that GM, but I’ll need him as a therapist to proceed my grief.

My “caseworker” had always actually been my job developer. She works with VR to place me in jobs. However, my job at McDonald’s and Arbys was independently applied for and she’s only responsible for follow along.
