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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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, my credit card got declined while I was buying anti-depressants. FML
Today, I applied for a dental insurance that claims "you cannot be denied". I was denied. FML
Today, I found out that the medication that's been free to me and has given me no noticeable side effects will be $1500 a month for my new insurance. This is a medication used to prevent my MS relapses. 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, I ran out of my antidepressants, and I cannot get more because my local hospital is closed, and I can't register online because the only way it will let me sign up is over the phone, due to me living in a rural area. I'm mute. FML
Today, I finally built up the courage to seek professional help for my eating disorder. Apparently I don't meet the criteria, so I was denied help and got sent away. So basically, I'll have to get even sicker for them to take me seriously. 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, you’re required to have health insurance in my country. I have no income, I spend more on insurance than on food, yet most of the treatments that actually help me are not covered by the insurance. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Have I tried the free clinic usually if you tell them your situation then they could help

I can’t afford the only med that treats one of my autoimmune issue. And I qualify for 0 assistance unless if I get a divorce. I was actually told to and then call back. From the company who makes it. Don’t you love falling through the cracks?

That's horrible! How can a company have the nerve to say something like that?!

I love the smell of late stage capitalism in the morning

That’s rough but does that also mean you have no recent/current medical diagnosis of depression? That would mess up their study if they didn’t have a doctor’s diagnosis as a baseline.

Ah, the american health care system 👍 money is all that matters. I feel for you, truly. Without my anti depressants I probably wouldn’t be alive today. I had to fight for it, but at least health care doesn’t cost a fortune where I live..
