...just walk it off!
Unless you have a few thousand dollars to spare for an ambulance ride, that is. I sure didn't, but hey, whaddaya gonna do? LOL. Life is great. Guess it's time to stop waiting for my doctors to sort out my fucking health problems and just get back to work regardless, because I can literally no longer afford to not be making money in the meantime. Gotta work yourself to death just so you can pay for the healthcare you'll need when you work yourself to death. Nice.
Seriously, I had to leave my job because stress was causing a disease flare-up that was making me unable to do said job and my medicine was no longer working. After waiting to get put on a new medicine, I had a reaction to said medicine and had to be taken to the ER. The five-minute trip from the infusion center to the hospital cost me nearly $1,200. And as I haven't been working for the past few months while waiting for my symptoms to get under control, I've been hemorrhaging money the entire time. This sure sped up the process, on top of my grandma now deciding to charge me rent--which was the whole reason I was staying with her, because I can't afford rent. BUT THAT'S OK, I'LL BE DEAD IN A FEW YEARS ANYWAY, I GUESS. Then none of it will matter. :^)

@Uncledaddy: Win the lottery and move to a differnt country!
And do not try to stress yourself!

@vengeance: kinda sad that all 3 of those things seem equally impossible ;v; Though the healthcare situation here makes "move to a different country" increasingly appealing...

@Monorea: That sounds really rough, but it's good you have someone to help you handle it all. And yeah, a support network of people you can trust (friends, family, etc) to be there for you, listen and understand what you're going through, and help you out when possible. I think that's absolutely vital for most people, but especially when we have health issues that make life more difficult.

I can relate: They took my already dead father away in an ambulance, tried to revive him anyway, and the bill afterward was so ridiculous. They didn't even want to hear that we couldn't pay them with our only working family member being deceased. I hate capitalism.

@vengeance: Yeah.. I don't like the idea of being forced to pay for insurance tbh, not that I could live without insurance anyway.

@Monorea: Not really. I've got one or two friends who live far away that I can talk to online most days, but that's pretty much it.

@Totalanimefan: The state of our health care is like something out of a future dystopia novel tbh

@Glume: Jesus, that's awful. Sorry you had to deal with that; the lack of compassion is just gross.

@eliechan: Aye, I'm trying.

Thanks everybody for your replies. I'm back to sending out job applications; guess I'll just have to hope my health gets better instead of worse, 'cause I need the money.

just got a rejection letter from the store I applied to. It's a freaking retail store; how picky can they be? I have over 3 years experience in retail. Surely that's more than the teenagers they usually hire. I'd love to know what the hell I did wrong, but the letter specified that it wouldn't tell me. Great.
