I am also bipolar and haven’t been able to afford my meds for about 2 months. My mental health is deteriorating more and more as a result. I have zero patience for my patients at a LTC facility. Most of them don’t even need to be there and are med seeking/addicts which pisses me off even more cause I am literally being treated like shit and a slave by people who don’t even need my physical help. Everyday I am closer and closer to quitting. I feel so lost rn and even looking up if my daughter would still get life insurance if something happened to me by my hand..
I am considering taking out a loan in order to get out of this hole and just paying the loan off when I get my taxes (I get back usually 9k).. but I know that in the long run, that’ll do me more harm. How are you all surviving right now? I do not qualify for food stamps, Medicaid, or even childcare assistance because I make $150 dollars more than the limit for 2 people.
