Hey all BL'ers who follow my blog entries. I just wanted to Express my regret over the fact that I have been so sporadic over the past week.
I'm kind of struggling to keep my head above water here, like I'm sure a lot of you are as well. I dont have a permanent place to live and I have no furlough benefits from Refugee resettlement.
I've been trying all week to get my health insurance switched from private to Medicaid, which sucks. I cant really afford to actually see a doc outside of an ED and without insurance, it's cheaper to buy a lot of my meds off the street. I'm also trying to get food stamps.
Meanwhile, thousands of other people are doing the same thing, so the state is like frozen, with call-backs and stuff going from the next-day to sometimes literal weeks.
I'm trying to accomplish all this bureaucratic bullshit while taking meds sometimes and sometimes not depending on the day and withdrawal from drugs makes me utterly useless and as emotional as an infant.
I dont really have stable internet, but I come on every time I get a chance like from friends or the library or whatever. It's a tough situation, but I can only hope that it will start to resolve but who knows?
I know it is hard for everyone these days and I'm not special. I'm writing this because I dont want people to think I dont care about them. I definitely do and I'm trying to keep my shit together for myself and the community.
To anyone that I have left hanging, I really apologize for making you feel alone, uncared for or like just another nameless face. To folks with unanswered questions, please re-send or remind me and I will get on it.
