I hate being sick.

1. financially. I miss appointment with T because I"m so sick I can't keep track of the days. (-money in FULL for the appointment, insurance doesn't cover missed appointments). 5 days from work. On weeks i"m barely scheduled. basically no work. (-most of what I make this month). Can't make the cheap food I normaly make cuz I can't get out of bed (-money for take-out food). ICK.

2. Sick in bed. Can't do anything.

3. have to make an evaluation WHILE sick, and give off bad vibes to the evaluator.

4. BORED OUT OF MY MIND.

I hate this.

Turquoise You have summed up my experience of being sick, except that I don't have to worry about work. I try to keep food around that is easy to make in case I get sick. If it starts getting close to the "use by" date, I donate it to a food pantry. I keep a calendar in easy access with all my appointments on it and my cell phone nearby so I don't have to pay for missed appointments. Not easy though when I get very sick. Hope you start feeling better soon.

Good fortune to you Turquoisesea!

I really hate the thought of you not having $$$ for food. Is there a foodbank in your area? Or an emergency aid agency?

Don't go hungry! Mike

Don't worry, I'm ok. I have money in the bank, thank goodness =)

Hope you get better soon. I understand where you are coming from. I am off from work and have no income and trying to get myself better, yet every other aspect of my life seems to be falling apart and our system is horrible when it comes to helping the mentally ill people atleast this is my experience so far. I hope things look up for you soon!
Thanks for this!

I'm sorry you're still so sick (((turquoisesea))). Will send more virtual chicken soup , herbal tea, tissues, and even a virtual personal doctor to take care of you (don't we all wish). Hope you are feeling better soon.

(P.S.: Great suggestions from (((Pom))) - you are so organized!)
