I'm starting the spiral again. I just found out yesterday that the med I've been taking ( that's actually been working) will not be authorized by my insurance. I was so angry and upset that I had a drink. It was just one, but I have been doing well on not drinking. I'm a binge alcoholic. So I am really kicking myself right now. I am so upset with the insurance company and frustrated. Really questioning whether or not my mental health is worth all of this hassle.

Sorry to hear about your insurance. Perhaps they can authorize an equally effective med. In any event, your mental health is priceless. Don't give up hope.

now the battle begins.... psychiatrist is telling me that i need to fight the insurance company for the right to take the med that actually works. Problem is.. I don't really have the energy for the battle right now. I am just existing. I go to work, I go home, I cook dinner, I sleep in front of the tv , i finally go to bed and the next day I do it all over again. Is anyone else having the same problems with the winter blahs/ life?

I know that fighting with the insurance company may seem like it might be more than you can handle but it might be worth it for your health.
I'm looking at the same situation I'm afraid with a new one that my doctor has just started me on. I'm like you and don't really feel like a battle but maybe if it works I'll feel differently.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
