Getting Medication Refills

Mental Health Awareness Ribbon (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

So my doctors have been wanting me to redo my medications and see if that would help me, since I have been off them for some time. I go to refill my Xanax today and I was told that it was declined that I had to call Mental Health.

I call mental health and they say “well Mr. Peterson we cant find you in the system.” This is because when I began receiving SSI/SSD they kicked me out of the clinic because they couldn’t bill Medicare. So I explain this to the receptionist. “Oh well I will have a nurse call you back.” That was several hours ago. So Im going to call in tomorrow if I don’t hear from them later today.

But seriously, you know I have problems with depression, and am Bipolar and have PTSD, you are really going to cut/keep me from my medications? Not really that smart of an idea.

*le sigh*

I love the emotional rollercoaster that I have been on lately. It seems that at the most inopportune moments that I get totally bitch slapped with bouts of depression and despair. I really have been doing better but it just seems like there is always that damnable sword of Damocles hanging over my head. I have been trying to spend more time out and about with friends and family. But it just seems like that I am stuck looking in the past and that is a dangerous thing to do. I posed the question on Facebook the other night “WHEN”, it was a great question because I feel like that all the time…when am I going to find someone who will love me….when will I be happy….when will I finally feel free…ect

So yeah, that is how I’ve been feeling. And because of my depression, I stop using my insulin, and then my sugars go all over the place, and then all I want to do is sleep when I should be out doing something. IDK maybe im asking to much of myself.
