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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

time to look for another job. if it's stressing you that badly, it isn't a job worth keeping.

Amen to that. Up here in the great white north it's paid by taxes. As half the country doesn't end up paying any, the rest of us get to pay double. Great deal huh?

OP, I understand. I have 2 jobs and neither offer health insurance. I'm also not eligible through Students Who Are Parents at my university because my guardianship is partial. In SC, we do have places like Hope Health, Doctor's Care, and Mercy Medicine. They can't do everything, though. They can get me sleep aids for CFS (which I declined, as they are actually mood stabilizers - tegretol or celexa) but not anything for Fibromyalgia, as so little research has been done for manifestation in pediatrics. Search for alternatives and look for a comprable salary at a job that doesn't cause you so much stress. Good luck!
