Heather’s Problem:
Not being able to afford anxiety/depression medicine, thus sending you into withdrawl that bends reality so you’re not sure whats real or not and makes you scared shitless. not to mention gives you the sweats, spins and absurd dreams.
Wow. I think I’m in over my head here. Ok, this goes without saying (because I’m typing it) if you think that you’re a danger to yourself or others; you need to seek professional help, i.e. help that is in addition to this bodacious website.
That being said, you don’t mention whether or not you are getting your “medicine” from the CVS or from the guy hanging out behind the CVS. So I’ll assume that your medicine is legit. (my anxiety medication is only available at liquor stores, because this stupid state has these ridiculous puritanical laws that have been around since William Penn showed up; and they close so early it’s ridiculous! But I digress.) If you need this medicine and you don’t have the money for it, you have a few of options. You could get a job; but let’s face it, jobs are lame so that’s out. Or you could apply for some government assistance to get your medication. They just passed some new healthcare legislation that may or may not be repealed now that the Democrats no longer have a majority, but I don’t know about that kind of thing because I’m not some politics following nerdlinger, I’m too cool for that crap. Or you could learn to love hockey, slow down your speech patterns, knock back a couple of Molsons, and become a Canadian citizen (that is literally the Canadian citizenship exam). It is pretty cold up there which will no doubt contribute to your anxiety/depression but Canadians are chill and you’ll have free health care and all the medicine you need so you can mooch off of America’s little brother until your anxious little heart is content.
Remember that withdrawal symptoms pass and there are support groups out there for these types of things. And since we already know that you can use a computer, look that shit up for yourself, we can’t do everything for you.
In an ironic twist, it seems like your anxiety/depression medication is causing you a lot of anxiety/depression. So maybe you should think about taking the hugs not drugs approach in the future. Just make sure not to overdose on hugs, because at first you hug around your friends, and before you know it you’re pawning all your stuff to score some group and bear hugs.
