I was kicked off Medicaid at the start of this year and subsequently lost access to my ADHD and depression medication. In February, I moved to a new area and got a new job, but had to wait several months until I qualified for health insurance through it.
After that point, I had to wait for a weekday when I wasn’t working and when I had the mental capacity to tolerate back-to-back disappointing phone calls… all without medication that would make the process significantly easier to tolerate. These are only the calls I’ve made today.
Finally, FINALLY, I have an intake appointment scheduled.
It’s absolutely shameful how much a struggling person is expected to do in order to access basic mental health care.
JFC. I’m getting anxiety just looking at the call log. Grats on the appointment though. You’re right, the hoops are absolutely ridiculous.
