Actually, you may have more options than you know.

You can still pick up a resource guide if you want. They include resources for people who *do not* have Medicare or Medicaid, as well.

The local senior organization I listed above (for instance) helps people who are not fifty-five or older or disabled. Your local senior center could lead you to services that fit your situation.

I have phoned their social worker several times and she was helpful giving me information about housing choices, for instance. I didn’t have to go in (although I could have). I didn’t have to fill out paperwork. This social worker was happy to do what she knew how to do to help answer my questions.

Do what you want but I don’t see a downside into looking into some of these resources.

I find I’m much less anxious and depressed about a problem or situation when I have some sort of plan to problem-solve it. Hope it will be the same for you.

Thanks so much for that information.

I feel like canceling my appointment because of the office manager. It’s not even something that should make me upset but I’m just feeling low. I shouldn’t cancel because it had nothing to do with T but I’m depressed, anxious, and exhausted from insomnia last night so I’m sure that’s causing this reaction. Someone please help me to not make the mistake of canceling my appointment.

Please don't cancel your appointment. What happened with the office manager?

It’s silly so I don’t know why it irritated me. She said let her know if I want to cancel my appointment and it annoyed me because I set everything up to come. Maybe I was irritated because I wrote her back and told her that I would be there and asked her about my sessions in May and told her that I would be able to come to my May appointments if I could catch my bill up in May and asked her if that was a problem and she never said yes or no.

That made me feel like not even going even though that wasn’t T’s fault. I’m just so overwhelmed with everything right now and I feel like I’m drowning. I’m really suffering right now. I am in absolute agony.

I think I’m going to tell them that I can’t come this week because I’m so overwhelmed with everything that is happening that I just want to stay in bed all week. I’m so close to doing that.

Oh my! Please go to your appointment. This might be information your T needs to know about your patient experience.

You should go to your appointment. Like you said, you'll likely regret it if you don't.
Thanks for this!
