197. I'm currently a victim of the system, meaning I fall outside of Medicaid. So my therapy and counseling is through charity social services, the state, and another that has waved my fee because no one wants me to work right now. Something about a decompensation episode is so severe that I can't do my normal of after being fired, pull myself together enough to move on. This past year, I have lost my mother very suddenly and un expectantly, cut myself off from my family and church, upped and moved to another country only to have the last person I ever expected to hurt me, throw me out like garbage, found someone in my family to fly me home, spent the night in an ER for an Eval but since not a threat to myself or others, was discharged. A third party from that same hospital is helping me find help through appealing Medicaid, filing for SSDI and SSI. So, here I am. Through one charity that has a Psychiatrist come in once a month, I get to see in a week. I have had to talk to the intake person who has a PhD, so they are gathering the information from my sessions to present to Dr before I seen them to suggest what they think (5 separate diagnosis) and see if Dr of Psychiatry agrees, looks at the medications my GP has prescribed, to add, take away or change. That might allow this charity to pay for my medications, as I never know month to month from Nov 2013 how I will get them filled. Some are on $4 list, but the major one has no assistance anywhere I can find and it's $149. So I stay with a married couple from my church who is not charging me anything, they just want me well. I've made amends with my siblings, but am very skeptical now. I like the word skeptical vs. paranoid about their sincerely interest in me getting help because I've been told the things that are said outside my presence. Anyways, have to stop rambling and boring ppl.

You are not "rambling and boring," dear one. You have legitimate concerns and we care.

I saw your poll. I know some symptoms overlap, but I am not a professional and neither are other folks in general here, so I just don't know how to answer. I do know that borderline and bipolar symptoms tend to overlap.

Since this forum is for people to comment on their scores, you might want to look around to see what forums could be good for your other concerns. Relationships and Communication could be an option to go into more detail about relatives, for example.

I am very happy to hear about the plans in the works, and I certainly hope the money will come through.
