Wow, Denae, you are on a tough road right now. One of the hardest d**n things we get to do is to be advocates for ourselves when we are ill, as there's no one else to do it for us. The first thing that comes to mind is this -- can you begin to look into what you'll have to do when you move to your new location, as far as getting your medicaid back. Sorry, perhaps you already know. I don't know what else to tell you as I have no experience with this. Although I am sure there are others on the site who do and who might better advise you. I would continue to insist on asking for help. The squeaky wheel gets the grease as they say. For the sake of your child at least, you must persevere. I wish you well, Denae, I truly do.

just read ur post denae, but sorry i cant b much help as i live in the UK. is medicaid a countrywid thing or when u move will u have 2 reapply? i think considering u have got thru so far u will b able to get thru another few months whilst waiting for medicaid. All u can do is keep on trying, its a hard process but its worth it. I found mdj has really helped me to cope as wen im feeling crap either depressed or manic hence psychotic thers always someone here to talk to to help calm me down.

No in the US its apply by state to state basis so I dont know much about Ohio's medicaid (where Im moving) in comparison to NYC. All I know is there is not an online app and most is done in the offices. Thank you both for reading Im just so tired! And Ive been having my manic episodes alot more recently I just am always up I stay up til 4 am then sleep like an hour then up again and I was up until 2 maybe 3 am last night and got up at 6 30 and cant sleep as much as I try. My head is just spinning I was reading articles online all night about electric cigarettes even bought one. Now of course I wonder if that was even a good idea at all.

As to your earlier question I bake cookies, pies, cupcakes are my favorite, muffins, cakes, anything bake-able. I adore baking. I have tons of baking decorations and food colorings. Its one thing I have severe passion about that never fails. I also bake clay figures and charms. Though that cycles between painting, and drawing very rapidly. One week I feel like painting the next Its sculpting, and so on it goes. Baking is the only thing that stays all day every day. If not for the dishes that result I would bake nonstop lol!

One of my biggest issues with my self right now is my irritability and irrationality. My boyfriend and I recently got engaged and his family absolutely hates me for no reason other then I got pregnant by their son. They swore they would not come to our wedding causing him to want to postpone it and try to make them happy and that has caused a lot of stress lately and I seem to always be snapping at him and being angry with him, and then he gets upset and I get embarrassed by my behavior and then get depressed and then get mad at myself for being depressed all the while spinning in an endless circle of emotion. x-x Just so tired.

I guess I scared her off. Darn it!

Well, Bob, I'm going to take off and try and get some things done around here for a change. Take care and be well and I hope to talk with you again soon!

We currently live in a studio apartment, there is no other rooms and he always tries to make me stay and talk it out with him which just makes it worse. Until we started dating he did not even believe in mental health disorders so this is all really new for him and it can just be a struggle.

Bye Barb sorry!
