I asked my dad a few days ago if he would take me to see Pat Benatar. Him: No. Me: Why not? Him: We don't have enough money. I was just thinking about it now because I'm listening to Pat Benatar and I realized that is the most bullshit excuse ever. He just got back into town after taking my brother to go see the Baltimore Orioles play the Yankees.

Have you had a look at what changes the new health reforms are bringing in...that Bill did pass, right? I think I remember hearing it did. That's supposed to be really helpful for people who were having trouble paying medical expenses, right?
And yes - it's bitchy when people try and punish you because you have depression, or ADD; they're not your fault. Circular reasoning is one of the things they should teach kids in school because it always surprises me the number of adults that fail to recognise when they're using it.

I can get back on my parents' insurance but there is a gap until at least January for reasons I do not understand. They won't give me insurance in the meantime because I have "pre-existing" medical conditions.
It's the dumbest thing EVER! I kept trying to get doctors to diagnose the ADD BEFORE at least my final car wreck. If they'd just listened, I wouldn't have gotten into that wreck. That is the one that I know FOR SURE was caused by ADD. That's on them, not me. But everyone blames me.

The thing about insurance for me is that I think I'd be dropped from it completely if it weren't for the reforms...I THINK, if I've heard correctly, that the reforms are what will allow me to be on my parents' insurance until I'm 26...only good thing to come out of the reforms, if you ask me.
*HUGS* Depression sucks so much. And it's SO misunderstood. It's like...if we could control our moods, don't you think we would? Who wants to be sad? My grades and things slipped SO much because of it and I got all self-righteous or whatever and was like "I wanna live medicine free, as myself." Yeah...not a smart move...and then when I needed help again, I refused to ask for it for a while. *shakes head* Now I'm trying to get my life back in order.
Exactly. Another extremely misunderstood disorder...in fact, all mental disorders are highly misunderstood. Society friggin sucks.

Idk...I really don't pay attention to politics because all it would do is give me something else to bitch about.
I'm sorry your family is like that. Mine's not but still it's hard to tell them things about it because it makes me feel foolish and weak and then they get this look in their eyes like I shouldn't be left home alone with sharp objects or something and I can't stand that. I can't stand them suddenly caring only because they think I'm on the brink of insanity or something.
I don't think any medication is surefire. There are still some REALLY bad days no matter what you're on. But people assume medicated equals better. I was on one pill that left me in a total fog all the damn time and when I tried to cry, it gave me a really bad headache and I couldn't ever actually cry.
It's stupid and it makes me hate society even more. UGH.
*hugs*

Yeah - I find I bitch about politics with people anyway, so I want to know what the hell I'm talking about.
Yeah - my family can be a little insensitive sometimes, but when I told them they were actually really good about it. Well...mostly. They didn't really acknowledge it past 'oh, ok', which I guess isn't great...but they never made me feel like I was a danger or unstable or broken...which is definitely good.
Yeah, I agree. I think, if you can, it's better to not rely on medicine. But if it's necessary, then it is. My mum is a little anti medicine, so I think that rubbed off on me, and it took me ages to concede it was better to take pain killers when something started to hurt than to wait until it got so bad I could barely handle the pain.
It is hard to remain optimistic when people are such wankers.

LMFAO I do a little bit of bitching but only about stuff that I find glaringly obvious.
Well that's good at any rate. The last thing a depressed person needs is people thinking they're broken...Cuz then it makes you wonder about your own strength and that is never good.
Yeah...I used to be REALLY anti meds but...I mean I've started taking things when I get headaches...still refuse stuff for stomach aches but whatever...And I'm on stuff for depression and ADD...getting better about meds lol
WORD. Oy vey.

XD - Problem is I bitch with people who know what they're talking about, and if I don't I look very stupid.
No. Thankfully I think I really only questioned it a couple of times, but I pushed myself to keep going through the motions...mostly. I guess I feel things are more settled now, and that helps. I really hope you get there sweetheart.
Ha - cutting my foot really badly a couple of years ago, and now having my teeth taken out, it really makes you appreciate medication. I tried to not take the painkillers yesterday, and after three and a half hours I caved because my jaw was throbbing so badly.

LMFAO yeah I get your point XD
Going through the motions sucks. You just feel so...robotic sometimes. I go through phases where I feel good about life and then I hit slumps...I guess I'm just in a slump right now.
DUUUUDE yeah that's when you REALLY need to be taking meds XD Pain meds can at least be kinda fun...or just make you sleep lots LOL

Yeah - Going through the motions is dreary as hell, and when you realise that's what you're doing, it's damn depression. Or...at least it is until my brain kicks in with that song, then it's a fucking musical. Going through the motions, walking through the part, nothing seems to penetrate my heart. I was always brave and kind of righteous, now I find I'm wavering. Crawl out of your grave you'll find this fight, just doesn't mean a thing - She ain't got that swing - thanks for noticing.... anyway.
Mine are making me sleep lots. I went to bed at 11 last night and didn't even wake up til 11 this morning. And I couldn't drag myself out of bed until 1. - That was cause I had a dental appointment at 2. And driving there I kept yawning - it was so hard to keep my eyes open. I'm so lucky I didn't crash. First thing I did when I got home was take a nap. For four hours. It's crazy.

AHAHAHAHAHA OH GOD THAT SONG! I really don't ever say going through the motions without thinking of it...which in a way is a good thing because at least for a moment it gives me a happy thought of pretty Buffy. And then I think of Anya and her bunny song haha.
DAMN that is way intense. Have you thought of maybe trying something else? Those are really crappy side effects.
