        Thank you. I’ll get through it, but it’s tough at the moment.

        I don’t have a social worker YET, but I am going to be talking with someone at the doctor’s office about trying to get me SSI in June. Yeah, I’m thinking that if it’s been the same for so long, it’s likely not going to for a while. Can’t say for 100% certain of course. Best case scenario, I get SSI, Medicaid or indigent care while I’m in therapy, use it to fund looking into my medical issues, and once I can deal with my headspace better, I can get a job.

        Thanks for your post and concern! Strength and courage, indeed!

          I’m from Southeast Texas. It’s gross, and wet, and humid, and there are mosquitoes everywhere. Would not recommend.

          Sadly, it’s not an option right now. No insurance, little income. At least, not right now. We’re gonna shoot for indigent care until I can get my anxiety attacks from basically incapacitating me. It looks bad, but it’s looked this bad for *years*. And I have basically no other physical symptoms besides a urinary issue that I’ve have forever, and some issues just from being overweight (not big ones, but they’re there).

          Unfortunately, getting indigent care is on hold for a little bit while the whole family’s dealing with a sudden loss.

          Thanks for your post and concern!
