I have been out of all of my prescriptions for over a month now. Things are not looking good. I live in the United States and have no health insurance and cannot afford buying the drugs out of pocket and I cannot afford to purchase healthcare. I have already applied for medicaid but it has been a long hard process for me. My mood swings are coming back, my heavy periods are coming back making everyday life really difficult, etc.etc. etc. basically I was doing really well up until a month ago when my insurance got canceled.

Every day has become more difficult and I’m scared for myself. As much as my friends want to understand when I say I don’t feel good, they just don’t know what that means for someone with BPD.

I have a load of medical bills--like, thousands of dollars of bills--from my last hospitalization, my DBT classes and other medical work I have had done.

I just got a part time job *whoohoo* so now I have to figure out how to navigate holding onto that job while depressed, swingy and untreated. I just hope my psychosis doesn’t come back, then I’m in for a world of trouble.

I live in the US too. Many drug companies have help to buy their medications at a huge discount. Look on their website. Do you have a community mental health clinic through your city or county. If you do and you were hospitalized they may pay for your drugs through the state pharmacy. Also look for free clinic. Are you in or close to a significant sized city.

We have community mental health, i think I will call them in the morning.

Talk to your pharmacist. Some pharmaceutical companies will give you free meds.
