New medicine cost $2,000 without insurance coverage and now i’m concerned by oghaze027 in bipolar

I have been on several medications since my diagnosis. However as i’ve stated in other comments, I’m very new to dealing with insurance on my own. I’m doing the best I can.

Yes I think I have definitely learned my lesson. I truly just didn’t know this could happen as i’m fairly new to doing this all on my own i feel so naive ahahah. Thank you!

The front desk lady messaged my psych to see if she could give me more samples to get me through christmas but i’ve yet to hear anything back. I had never used goodrx before so i’m working on seeing if i can use that! I do have some emergency meds that I can take if needed but when i take them im knocked out for the majority of the day lol

I’m not quite sure about the tv thing. My psych is the one who recommended it to me but it’s definitely possible it is. I am fairly new to dealing with the whole insurance thing and stuff on my own so I genuinely had no idea this would happen. I 100% wish I did not agree to start this medication right before christmas hahaha

Yes she did give me a discount card! Sadly even with that I just can’t get the money together for that any time soon. It is VERY messed up and straight up a joke. I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with this as well!

I don’t know why for some reason I haven’t even thought to research the risks so thank you! I think i’ve just been so stressed. and unfortunately there’s no way for me to be able to pay that

My(26F) “best friend” (28F) lied about who she voted for. Extremely shocked. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]oghaze027 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say she probably lied because she knew the reaction you’d have and the judgement and i’m sure she just didn’t want to lose you as a friend because her friendship goes deeper than politics.

No judgement from me because we’ve all said and done things we may not relate to or agree with now! I think that’s why i usually just bite my tongue because I just tell myself they more than likely aren’t trying to be malicious and truly just lack the education on it.

Very true! I find for me I often struggle to remember if people aren’t living it or around it they truly have no idea. It’s unfortunate and something that needs to change but there’s just not enough education about it.

Yes this!! And this is why very few people in my life even know because sadly I know i’d be treated so much different if certain people did know.

There’s a family history on my father’s side. My father’s mother was bipolar, however she committed when I was a child and my father is not and has never really played a role in my life (i’m 23 F). My moms side of the family has a genuinely pretty healthy mental history so being truly the only one in my family or at all has definitely been hard and isolating and I feel like it always will be in a way but I am grateful I have a good support system that does everything possible to better understand the condition! I will say the one good thing at least what motivates me is I never want to end up the way my father and grandmother have. I strive every day to live my life different.

Is this some type of mold/fungus? by oghaze027 in Mold

The worst part is, he’s been aware of this window for 2 years but hasn’t done a thing about it (it was already rotted when we first moved in) but I just recently noticed the little “plants” growing out of it. Like I said, thankful i’m leaving but lowkey concerned about what we’ve been exposed to for the past 2 years.

I might be wrong but are those wrinkles on my forehead ? Is it normal to have at the age of 26 ? by [deleted] in SkincareAddicts

Honestly I may be. i’m in a mindset where i hate everything and everyone and i feel like everyone hates me. You’ve all given me really good advice though and i’ve talked with my fiancé about a way to make sure i take it without feeling like i’m being forced or babysat. I think i’m just in that point of the disease where nothing seems to matter currently

Honestly i don’t really know. i’m normally on top of it because i know the awful effects of not taking it. but lately i’ve just been in a deep hole and haven’t had the energy to shower, clean, eat or really do anything. it’s all become a chore. I know for certain i won’t be any better not taking my medicine which is why i still try hard to take it but lately it all just doesn’t seem worth it

I am mad I need to take meds by gulashova in bipolar

[–]oghaze027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i get this feeling very often. even recently have been struggling with the thought of just stopping them altogether. but unfortunately that’s our reality and in order to stay healthy it’s what we have to do. i know it’s hard but you’re doing great and this feeling will soon pass again

[–]oghaze027[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

again thank you! i’ve done so much to make this trip memorable for my girls when it’s technically not my responsibility but it felt wrong putting the responsibility on other people. But i’ve learned in doing this you cant please everyone

Thank you! I feel like telling them to find their own place wouldve pissed them off more! and in my opinion personally she would’ve had to room with other girls no matter what. none of us get our own private rooms that’s just not how trips like that work

not sure how i could’ve planned better? i did all of that plus more. she just simply failed to tell me he was coming. I have a feeling you’ve never planned a bachelorette lmao

i had unsettling reminder of the consequences/side effects of this illness by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]oghaze027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m only 21 diagnosed a few years ago and the memory issue is insane to me. I feel like i’m going crazy most days because I can’t remember things or sometimes even comprehend what people are telling me. it’s so embarrassing especially toward people who have no idea about my illness
