Definatly I agree, I do.
And Jonathan thanks again for your post on the medboard, you really did make a difference. It was great
I appreciate it doubly because I know sometimes its hard to post to someone you haven't met in a more gradual way. I think its safe to assume most of us have low opinions of our own opinions a lot of the time, and I know for me sometimes I think,
well I'd like to say something complimentary but maybe they don't care what I think.I've been diagnosed with Bp2 so the short-lived elation is something thats happened and my Dr's are well aware of.
I'm one of those people who's fallen in between the cracks. I've been dealing with the system for 10 years and I know what buttons to push and who to call and I'm generally articulate enough to get my point across.
Right now though in Canada we've had HUGE cutbacks in healthcare. There really is no help.
People are not even allowed to switch Doctors in many cases. In B.C. some have been denied liver transplants even though there is an available liver because there aren't enough hospital beds.
My situation isn't even as critical as that.
In order for me to change anything at this point I would have to be a significant risk to someone else. Quality of life is not important.I've begged I've pleaded I've even threatened.
They know I'm suicidal they know I'm alone, and they know I didn't even recieve a welfare cheque this month. I'm only eating because someone was kind enough to send me 60 dollars a couple of weeks ago, and right now I have to go back to being an.. ahem "escort"
there's a pretty picture for you.I'm a burden I am, perhaps in an ideal world I wouldn't be, but my Dad will certainly tell you he'd like me out of here A.S.A.P and reminds me that at his age he shouldn't have to be concerned with me.
I'm afraid I really am one of those stories you read about.
No angel's gonna wipe my tears away.
(its a line from a song not me trying to be melodramatic)
I've had lots of luck in my past, and been fortunate enough to have my looks get me things otherwise unnatainable. Poverty and stress have pretty well decimated that one bit of fortune.Sorry to be so negative but I used to help people negotiate social services bureaucracy for a living.
I'd love some Ice cream
I can't afford anything though.
Its thanks-giving weekend for we Canadians but
My mom isn't in to having me over.
IT SUCKS
