I am so upset and depressed. I had so much to pay and buy so much medicine that now I am broke and it's only the 2nd week of May. After feeling so good in a long time , the dark cloud is coming in soon. I see my pdoc on Wed and I'm going to have to tell them I have no money to pay my bill. It is so embarassing and humiliating. I feel like I'm 1 inch tall. The price of drugs has really gone up and lamictal is going generic so the docs aren't getting samples for that. When I feel this way I just want to crawl in a cave and never come out. Gas is outrageous. What is America coming too. There are so many people out there that are in worse shape than I am in. I cry for them too. Tell me someone how do I handle this crisis and the depression that comes w/it. I really hate myself and I always will./...........pj56........

 I have had a lot of money problems so I completely understand where you are coming from, though I am not sure how to help you feel better.

I completely understand what you are talking about. I have money problems too. One thing I always do....make sure I take a little and put it aside...just in case. I don't care how many bills I have and how much is owed, you gotta have something for the times when you need gas or food if you run out.
Bills will be there...no matter what. I talk to my T and she lets me do a sliding scale if I can't pay the full Co-pay. She lets me pay whatever I can that day. I don't do it too much because I feel bad about it, but sometimes when I need money for gas to get to work, she will work with me. As for the depression that goes along with it...I just TRY to remember that there isn't anything I can do about it right now and I will just do what I can and that is all I can do. You are not going to die if the bills aren't paid, right? I mean, the dang bill collectors will still be there because they want to get paid. My sister got to a point once that she filed for bankruptcy. I don't know if that is an option for you, but it relieved a lot off of her. I don't know how much help I was, but wanted you to know that you aren't alone in feeling the way you do. BJ

I have money problems too. It makes me sad. I was told, the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. Seems to be true.

I am feeling depressed today because I am broke and I hate it. I spent $85 yesterday for my son's psychiatrist, $100 at the pharmacy and another $100 at the grocery store and we still don't have much to eat. I didn't have enough to buy horse feed but at least there is a lot of spring grass in my extra field. I really wish I could go back to work.

I know how you feel. I am on disabilty and had to fork out $400 yesterday for meds. Then $20 co pay weekly for T, then $30 co pay monthly for P Doc.
It adds up pretty quick, doesn't it?

Yes, and I shouldn't, but I do. Gas prices so high, even with my good mileage on my Subaru I'm still paying over $40-$50 to fill up.
Meds cost me $150 a month now, plus $200 or so for therapy copays. We were in perfect shape financially last year...but now...not so great. Oh...and I do have impulsive spending habits occasionally. One reason why I keep thinking Bipolar. I just spend and don't realize how much I spent until weeks later, and I rarely have much to show for it. |

My medical insurance at my new job doesn't kick in until July so meantime I'm stuck paying $600 a month for meds and $150 a week for my T. I'm lucky I can afford it, but it means I don't have much money to spend on anything else.
