Today, I was prescribed anti-anxiety medication due to the high level of stress that I experience at my job. Unfortunately, I cannot afford the medication because I do not make enough money at said job. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I realized that I needed a new job when I had to take anti-anxiety medication before meeting with my boss. Last time we met, I had a panic attack. FML
Today, it's gotten to the point where I can't afford my ADD medication anymore. Now, I'm literally too poor to pay attention. FML
Today, I had a anxiety attack about taking my anxiety medicine. FML
Today, after having to move home with my parents because I'm broke and can't seem to find a job, my mom found out I'm on anti-depressants. She and my dad will no longer be helping with money because she doesn't like "drugs". FML
Today, my credit card got declined while I was buying anti-depressants. FML
Today, I was prescribed medication to treat the headaches, caused by the medication to treat the lethargy, caused by the medication to treat my crippling nerve pain, without which I'd be stuck in a wheelchair. FML
Today, I was cut off from my government-funded drug program that used to pay half of my medication costs. They said I don't pay enough of a percentage of my wages on medication. I'd be on a higher dosage if I could afford it. I'm still poor and I'm definitely still bipolar. FML
Today, I was prescribed medicine for anxiety. Without it, my stomach churns all day. With it, I shake uncontrollably and my eyes twitch. Now I have to choose between diarrhea and rude stares from people in public. FML
Today, I got rejected from participating in a depression study that provides free medication, for not already being on antidepressants. That's because I can't afford health insurance or medication, which is why I applied to the study. FML
Today, I had to admit that I desperately need anti-anxiety medication. Apparently, when you walk around a grocery store avoiding eye contact and generally acting "sketchy", management will call the police on you, who will then pat you down to be sure you aren't shoplifting. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

find one those walk in clinics and tell them your right foot is in pain and you can't bend it. also throw in hard to walk. if the doctor isn't an idiot, they should come up with tendinitis and give you something for it. problem solved.

you mean "hard to walk in clinics"

anti-inflammatory drugs like the ones they would give you for tendonitis aren't like the benzos they prescribe for anxiety.

Getting off meds suck! It's not necessarily addictive but once you start you slowly gain tolerance, so they have to up the dose. Then if you forget a few days or want to stop you're gonna have to ween off of them cuz if you stop suddenly you'll be 10x worse than before taking them (learned this from experience) You're probably better doing yoga or some breathing exercises, maybe even get a hobby. OR... go home and play the wrist violin with a razor hehehe!

sometimes those things do NOT help!!! I've tried those myself- the yoga, etc. I'm into wholistic stuff too, and that stuff doesn't help me either. point I'm making is, when you know what you need and can't afford it, it's obviously bad.
