I had this posted on here on the 15th, and I posted it on bipolarsurvival, but I was so sick, I somehow accidentally posted it twice on BPsurvival, and deleted it on my journal. So here it is. Sorry. =/ After I posted this, I lost my cookies, and it didn't quit till last night (Thursday night). So much has happened since I did this, it's going to take ( Read more... )

Wow, it is terrifying to be that dependent upon a medication that can be withheld arbitrarily at any time, without prior notice. Even if there is some kind of dispute resolution system with the insurance company, it would be a process that would drag on and on, while the patient suffers the agonies of withdrawal. I'm wondering what can be done about this .... where is it again that you live?

I live in Phoenix, AZ. There is an appeal process, but like you said, it would drag on and on. And I just don't have the energy or fight left to deal anymore with this. The insurance company's won, as far as I'm concerned. They have all the money. They can do whatever they want.

Sorry it's going so tough for you right now, all the red tape and jumping through hoops is almost as bad as the illness. I hope things get better soon. In my prayers.

Thanks for your prayers. =) I know you understand all this craziness.

And that is what you have to remember. This isn't happening by choice, but by circumstances. There isn't anything we can do about it.

This is just HORRIBLE that this happens. IF you can't get any meds and are really getting sicker or about to hurt yourself, someone else or something, do go to the hospital ER.

Thank you for your concern and the hugs. I really do appreciate it.

Your experience sounds terrible, too. It just makes me so angry the destruction that's caused by all of this.

I think, as far as responsibility goes, it ultimately comes down to the insurance company. They're even the ones who decide if people can get a few days extra meds if they run out, or not.

Did you ever get some meds? How are you doing? Haven't seen you around.

I'm sorry I haven't replied before now. Like I told Eric, squarewave, I just seem to have lost the motivation to get on lj right now. Ever since the whole meds thing, which is still not totally resolved, I just don't have the energy to post or comment or anything, even in my personal life. I feel bad. I don't want to neglect my friends. I guess it's just where I'm at right now. =/

I'm sorry Granny...I HATE this sick stupid game that is played where mental illness in concerned. Don't even get me started...

I hope you are feeling better.

I miss you.

Be well.

Love ye! HUGS!

I hate it too. But hey, they don't have to deal with it directly. They live in their safe little insulated world that they've created around themselves, so why should they care.

I'm feeling much better, but the insanity is still going on. I've pretty much given up on fighting it.

Thanks for missing me. That's sweet.

Hugs and love back to you, =)
