Hey Leo,
Maybe you aren't worse off than some around here (cold comfort). Some folks can put posts together even if they feel like sh*t. Jeez, some can work and be suicidal. We're all so different.
I'm sorry your struggle is so intense. Do you have an anti-psychotic in your cocktail? They can have nasty s/e's.
I'm treatment resistant, too. I'm o.k. right now, but I never can take a day for granted. The effort required is pretty significant, but I've been much worse. A recent assessment put my functioning capacity at 50%. Hard to see that in print. Luckily my pdoc no longer uses ap's with me.I'm currently fortunate in that I have insurance--but someday I'm sure I won't--and I certainly did not always.
Really, what will you do w/o Medicaid coverage? Will your treatment simply be denied? I didn't know there was a cap. And is social security the same as ssi? Well, that really stinks. More than stinks. I'd be angry. Heck, I'm just p*ssed about having depression.
Good luck to you. I really wish you the best and hope you catch a break soon. I'm glad you posted.
MDD currently controlled. C-ptsd and comorbid health concerns. Chronic fatigue.
