I think I can make today better than yesterday, which was a sad day. I gotta put some effort in.

Took Ativan 2 mg earlier. It was a help.

Awesome. I wish that I had that kind of motivation.

[Rose76]

I feel awful low. I guess I slept right last night - probably thanks to Atvan 2 mg.

Today I continue to have weepy spells. Staying in bed a lot. Feel cold when I get up. My house is messy. Xmas stuff strewn around.

I'm alone too much. I think of calling family. but I don't like to be a bother.

[Rose76]

I didn't do a single thing today. Except have little crying spells.

Feeling fairly depressed right now

[Rose76]

I'm breaking down sobbing every few hours since 1/19. Grief, depression and fear all mixed together.

I went to a shelter to look at dogs. I'ld like to have a dog. I don't believe in getting a dog as a way of "fixing" my life. I've been wanting a dog for years.

A dog would be wonderful!

Ending Surprise Medical Bills
See how new rules help protect people from surprise medical bills and remove consumers from payment disputes between a provider or health care facility and their health plan


As of January 1, 2022, consumers have new billing protections when getting emergency care, non-emergency care from out-of-network providers at in-network facilities, and air ambulance services from out-of-network providers. Through new rules aimed to protect consumers, excessive out-of-pocket costs are restricted, and emergency services must continue to be covered without any prior authorization, and regardless of whether or not a provider or facility is in-network.

Previously, if consumers had health coverage and got care from an out-of-network provider, their health plan usually wouldn't cover the entire out-of-network cost. This left many with higher costs than if they’d been seen by an in-network provider. This is especially common in an emergency situation, where consumers might not be able to choose the provider. Even if a consumer goes to an in-network hospital, they might get care from out-of-network providers at that facility.

In many cases, the out-of-network provider could bill consumers for the difference between the charges the provider billed, and the amount paid by the consumer’s health plan. This is known as balance billing. An unexpected balance bill is called a surprise bill.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 was enacted on December 27, 2020 and contains many provisions to help protect consumers from surprise bills, including the No Surprises Act under title I and Transparency under title II.

This is the lowest I've been in many months. Wiping away tears.

This won't last forever - I tell myself. It never does.

[Rose76]

Can't sleep. Just took Ativan 2 mg.

If I clean up my house tomorrow, I'll probably feel a lot better. I've been so sad and so down.

[Deilla]

I'm not doing well.

Thank you for the encouragement.

I think I'm starting to come out of this bad state I've been in. The last few days were miserable.

Was busy with cleaning this morning and that's about it. Nothing much else. I felt alright this morning. This afternoon I feel a bit sunk. Just now I called my sister because she lives in the area that's very hard hit with the blizzard. She's doing OK - at least there hasn't been a power outage at where she is. A lot of people have no power near where she is. I felt the need to call her because of the blizzard, but other than that, I preferred not to call her.

[Rose76]

Felt rotten all day.

[Breaking Dawn]

I'm trying very hard to keep it together.

I think the Trintellix is losing its effectiveness. I've been feeling down for months and been in denial about it for awhile. My work is monitoring me and I don't want to lose this job. I spent the day updating my resume finally and applying to jobs, so hopefully something will come out of that. I'm exhausted now. it's the most energy I've had in months.

Just tired this weekend and did manage to get a few things done and went for a walk yesterday just in time too since today it was rainy.

[Rose76]

I'm still struggling with an episode of depression that started 1/19. I'm improved compared to before yesterday. Still, I feel like everything's a struggle.

[susannahsays]

Feeling down. I'm so tired of being tired. Tired as in everything feels like it takes a monumental effort.

I don't feel ready to start my day. I need to get started on work and take a shower. My hair is very tangled. I also need to do laundry and clean my kitchen before my psychiatrist appointment at 3:30pm.

Sad, sad, sad. I feel lonely but I also really don't want to interact with anyone because it takes too much effort.

At a loss.

[Yzen]

I have too many thoughts in my head and just want to stop and get away and rest. I finally made an appointment with my regular therapist for this week. I haven't talked to her in over a year. I've been using an online therapy service and it isn't the same.

[Rose76]

Already I feel so bad.
