I signed up for benefits at one of the jobs I am at. I will not get the card for another month. When I do I will be able to get anti depressants which I badly need. I will also have a window to get dental work which I also badly need. This is huge for me in terms of self care. All my energy, all my life goes to the A. I am finally taking care of me and me only.
I know this is just a small step but I've lost my physical health what two times in the last 5 years, once to sepsis, another time to asthma. I did not have insurance for either of them. I had huge financial liabilities as a result.
I am working two jobs right now and physically exhausted. I hope to be able to change that over time. I hope to be able to get a job that has really good insurance over time but this is one step towards that.
You know what we say: Baby steps. That's how we do it. Glad you'll be able to get the help you need. Physical well being is just as important as spiritual and emotional well being.
Love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

One thing you can do is ask your doctor for sample packs in the mean time. They can get your body started on the stuff and allow you to get started on living with the meds in the mean time. I'm sure your doctor would be happy to give you some.
I can wait it out for the pills because I don't want to encounter the pre existing conidtion clause that is applicable for 6 months. I am hoping though to do a trial of an anti depressant once I am eligible. I never have and I think it might help.
