Those are two poles. The thing on top is a painted rock I found sitting there

If you can't get a job you have all three to protect you.

If I can't get a job I can't get ssdi because I don't have enough work credits....

If I can't get a job I can only get obama care due to the preexisting conditions clause....no other insurance will take me.

Even if I went back with my parents to live I would have to spend down my savings on health care until I qualified for ssi and Medicaid.

This is what I mean, you may have missed out on a job but it didn't hurt you in the same way as someone without those three privileges.

I have privilege here too, I have my family and savings but not everyone has any of these things some people live on a knifes edge.

I used to have my savings account but not anymore.

If it weren't for my friend I'd probably not have survived.

It's so terrible they have taken away almost everything from you

Yeah idk I told her my symptoms before and my symptoms now and it’s weird she asked me questions about them but didn’t even really talk about what it is just focused on the other stuff. Not an enjoyable experience.

It's a nurse who practices under a pdoc

greentires4me · Oct 18, 2017, 11:06 AM

I have a psych nurse who supposedly is my case manager. Yet she doesn't dole out meds/prescribes them.

I suppose that largely sucks @junkdna

Okay. <3 Yeah...I get paranoid of a lot of bad things happening. It's like a mix of worst case scenario thinking, and unreasonable illogical thinking that makes up the paranoia.

I want to make things right with my mistakes over the years, I just am not sure where to start. Between mental illness, financial problems, school not working in the states, etc, it's made it hard to fix my wrongs.

I'm definitely concerned about Trump with this. I know for sure if it wasn't for Obamacare I would never have gotten health insurance. I went without for quite a while before the medicaid program expanded in 2014.

I know for sure though that I should NEVER be allowed access to a weapon though. Not because I'd be a danger to others, but because I would be a danger to myself.

Good evening/afternoon everyone. How are things going?

I'm glad you were able to get a refill junkDNA.

Hopefully that will patch you over long enough to get the situation sorted out.

I understand all the points people talked about with diagnosis. It's a tough thing with stigma and systematic discrimination. In a perfect world, I view diagnosis as a means of identifying a problem and providing a solution to it. But it doesn't always work that way. I know for me that BPD is true for me. But it has made the way I'm treated by health care different, and it sucks. I got some help for it, and my symptoms have improved. I just wish that pdocs would not attribute everything to that diagnosis.

Lunch was great! Taco fixings on tortilla chips, rice and salsa, and banana cake with vanilla frosting. Mmmmm.

But Tapatalk went through another change. This time, they dropped the page numbers, so now you can be lost when you're trying to find something. I wish it had competition.

Yes, I know what you mean. Lately I've been ruminating on all my mistakes, and sad that I can't go back in time to do things differently. The thoughts are so depressing.
