I know that where I live, mental illness qualifies you pretty much automatically for disability benefits. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
I called the counseling service for the county that they asked me to, and they're getting back to me, they'll set me up with counseling and a case worker, etc. Might take a week, but if I have another bad episode, I'm supposed to run right back to the ER because THEY can't refuse me
( ... )
Well, you know what a total bitch I can turn into when I think I'm being screwed over. *G*
I think it'll come in handy if anyone denies me any treatment I'm eligible for.
They just hate it when you know your rights, don't they?
I'll just keep going back to the effin ER until they HAVE to do something if nothing else works. Hell, I'll make them come get me by ambulance...Medicaid WILL pay for that if there's no one to take me, they have to pay for that too.
I joined an SL (second life) support group for people with depression, bipolar, related issues and their families, and I've gotten lots of good advice on how to get the system to do what they're supposed to for you too.
We can all message each other to talk whenever we need to, it's great. Because it's world wide, you can always find someone to talk to. Seems to help Instant group therapy to keep you off ledges. *G* I've done it for a few people myself, already. That helps too.
