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.

Oh I hear that loud and clear. I have to rely on my mother to take my all over and she only has a limited amount of time between her clients. S-U-C-K-S.

OMG IKR?! They want you to have a job but you need a car for that and if they don't help with the payments well, it's a backwards logic. WTF.

Sweetie, have you tried whatever state department of yours that handles medical insurance? You might want to apply through them if you can. If you're eligible, they'll cover your appointments and meds (one less thing to worry about). Only thing is, you might need to switch to a provider that is covered by them.

I have to rely on friends to pick me up to hang out and they all live at least 20 minutes away. I hear about all of them getting together and doing stuff...I never get to do anything.

They are so backwards and I've told them that and they get pissed and I'm like WTF?!

I have no idea how to go about that and I can't talk to my parents about anything like that these days.

Shit, sweetheart that sounds awful. I hope your okay. I know it takes time, and I know it probably doesn't help, but thinks will work out okay. You can vent/yell/rant anytime you want.. just try and keep faith yeah?
*hugs*

Thanks hon *hugs*

*hugs* that sounds frustrating as hell. One of my other friends is in a similar position and it kills me that I can't help either of you.

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.

*hugs* Thanks for caring. It means a lot.

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.

I'd be a terrible human being if I didn't care

Yikes! That sucks with insurance.
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.

Random question:

Are you good at creating web pages and using photoshop or one of the other abobe image programs?

[smartyshortie]

I'm alright with photoshop but I definitely can't create a web page.

[smartyshortie]

Thank you. *hugs*

Double standards are ridiculous and there are so many of them in parenting. Since I have a brother, I've gotten the gender ones too. *rolls eyes*

Thanks hon *hugs*
