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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

find a new job , quit your current one, do something like therapy or yoga and learn to control your stress. fyl for letting the situation get out of hand, learn your limits a job is a job they come and they go if your willing to get sick and/or die because of one your a complete and utter cockroach.

177- when I was in college, I took 16 credit a term (full time is 12), worked, volunteered 4-8 hours a week at a shelter for abused women and children and volunteered 24 hours a week as an on-call hospital advocate for sexual assault victims. And I didn't have health insurance. But clearly, it's because I was so lazy.

I never said you were lazy, but America is a land of opportunity, and if you put volunteer work above making money then that's wonderful but we can't make exceptions, sometimes doing a nice thing takes a personal tole. I grew up in a family that made 10,000 dollars a year, now I am the president of a company, worked very hard to get to that point, don't I deserve to reap all the rewards of my hardwork?

well because of all that I did at that time, I now have a great job, with great health insurance. I don't make a ton of money, but I get to help people, and do something that I love. but what If during that time I had gotten so sick and overrun with medical bills that I had to drop out of school? would I not deserve all the happiness I have now just because I got ill or injured? and if your family only made $10,000 a year, then that should have qualified you for free health care in most states. lucky you. must have been nice to go from so poor that you got it for free, to so rich that you can afford it, no problem.
