I have entered a whole new world over the past week or so. The world of depression & anxiety. That's the world my daughter is in right now because of the events of the past year or so It seems it all has taken it's toll on her and this is where she is. To me, it does not look like a good place to be, it looks lonely, dark and gray. She was highly medicated and lethargic, but got better after other medications were given. To deepen the depression she was told there were other problems with her heart and possibility more surgery. Which means more depression. There are several things that concern me. One, she was given medication for the anxiety in the hospital but none to take at home, which means she is going to crash really hard, soon. I do believe she was told the she couldn't get it because it's not something Medicaid would pay for. So what is she suppose to do? Go crazy end up back the the hospital again. Oh, let me continue. She was denied her disability benefits because she was not "sick enough". Yet there was a gentlemen in her group session who said he was not really sick, he was just doing it to get his check, because as he said "times are hard"& once again she came in contact with a totally disrespectful medical employee. Some of you look down on low income people and I don't have a clue why? The people that you look down on and don't want to treat have family members who want them to be okay. They may not have money but they are still human beings with feelings. I wonder, what would Obama's health plan do for people like my daughter, who need medication, surgery and face so many other health issues. That was just my thought. I have never been one to depend on my government to fix anything. So I will have to find a way. A way to pay for her meds so that she can be okay so that she can just "cope" with life and all it's disrespectful, uncaring, judging, I don't give a dam about you "humans" in it. If you loose your jobs, paychecks and insurance. You are only a couple of paychecks away from being low income. Judge not that person, that person could be you. I am rambling, my thoughts are every where those of you reading this please forgive me. Oh! one more thing. So that health care professional don't email me as asking, why are you bashing us, let me say this. I was going to church, turned a corner and saw two young people standing outside in the cold with their baby boy. I turned around and asked them did they need a ride and what happened. Apparently, a police officer had their car towed for legal reasons, so they had to get out, stand out in the cold and try to reach someone to come and get them and their baby. The officer did not offer to take them somewhere warm with the baby or anything. He was more concerned about the car, than the lives that were in it. Y'all have a great day! I am now jumping off my soap box.
