Here I am missing my meds and really wishing I could get my brain chemistry back to “normal” but I can’t afford it.
I moved across the country and had more difficulty than expected finding work, so my savings are tapped and my health insurance has not kicked in yet.
I’m not saying anyone should be forced to take meds that could alter their autonomy in any way, that being said, I know I do better and feel better when I have my meds. In life, at work, in personal relationships. I want to take them.
I don’t understand why we can’t force clearly mentally ill people to take their meds.
I get hit by a car, I’m unconscious. No one waits to ask me if I want to be taken to the hospital, and even if I refused, they’d say I was in shock and not thinking right.
It makes little to no sense to me.
Because they make the decision while on the meds and theoretically of sound mind. If you prior to that accident signed a DNR, and they knew about it, they wouldn’t perform certain measures that they otherwise would.
He can afford meds, sadly we can’t force him to take them.

It doesn’t seem fair… hooray for capitalism, huh?
