Hating my Life one Step at a Time

[random-element.livejournal.com]

Sigh...this is the sound of a discontented me. Today I have been through shit, and David has been through more. Rent day with not a penny to my name. Social services and medical systems screwing me around again and again and again. I hate doctirs. Then, despite the fact I can hardly function anymore, my doctor accuses me of just trying to get papers to make some money. No. If I could function than I'd still have my job, making it pointless to file for social assistance. Meaning I wouldn't need his god damned paper work. This from the man who told me to take tylenol after an amnesiac spell in which I passed out on the floor for about half an hour. From the man who refused to sign for my cat scan, which another doctor put on emergency. God damned doctors. God damned governmemnt. This is me hating the world, except for a select few who are there for me. On top of that I can't even get a ride to Kentville for a trip to the Mental Health ER, which was recommedned by my therapist not an hour ago. But, of course, I ain't got no car, or any money in which to get a taxi, bus or anyone to drive me. And, because it's mental health, I can't get an ambulance because I'd get sued.

Welcome to this fucked up world.

I hesitate to suggest this but what about the Red Cross?

Wow! It sounds like you're even worse off than we are. I second the suggestion of the Red Cross, we've been told they can be a real help. Is it possible to get a different doctor? Perhaps if you talked to your therapist about it they might be able to recommend one.

*nods* The health care system (among others) in this country is pretty screwed up. Don't lose hope or think you're crazy though... a lot of people are taking responsibility for their own health management rather than relying on docttors, and are turning back to alternative medicine & finding that it works much better & faster and with fewer side effects than traditional Western medicine.

Have you tried homeopathy, chiropractic, energy work or other treatments? Many of these healers work both with & without the insurance companies & will be more willing to find a method of payment that works for the people they are treating.

Good luck!
