I’m feeling utterly frustrated, pissed off and hopeless about the direction of my life and its possibilities. I have moderate-severe fibromyalgia, so I struggle to work the hours I need to and do other basic life tasks as it is. The only reasons I even push myself to work are 1) for health insurance and 2) to slowly pay off educational debt and debt from just trying to live. However, my insurance isn’t wanting to cover MRI’s it was supposed to, and it’s something that already happened. My mother, who my partner and I life with, implied that I didn’t stay on top of insurance & doctors well enough, even though I communicated very directly and throughly with doctors and insurance about needing the MRI’s to be preauthorized and covered. My mom also made an offhand comment about me going on a payment plan for 10 years if I can’t get it figured out. In addition, a different doctor wants to get an MRI done on a different body part. My mom’s comments have made it really hard not to fall apart. (Not blaming my emotions on her, just communicating my current struggle). I have very little energy at any point in the day, life is extremely hard, I can barely make minimum payments, and feel at a loss. I’m exhausted and don’t know how I can add another payment, even if it is “just $50.” I want to feel like I am living for more than just the ability to make payments but I feel terrified and pinned in by life. I want ongoing (not temporary) reasons to keep going but I’m coming up short. I’m sorry for the emotion dump.
