I have a problem keeping a job because I am bi-polar and that tends to also send me into a serious state of depression. I have not had any health coverage for five years now. I have no idea how I have managed, but lately I have been trying to find assistance because our local free facilities tell me that I make too much. That is the same thing as financial aid for college. Most financial assistance places want to view my taxes. The conclusion that they come to from my taxes is that I make enough because I get a 1099. Well I only get that for a total of 4000.00 annually for the taxes that I do for a company through contract labor. I struggle with finances and life (I know we all do). Imagine that you snap at every negative thing that comes along and that you do not even realize that you do it. This resulting in having 8 different jobs in the past two years. I was diagnosed when I was in high school and meds were really good for me. Now I know that I need them to cope.

I also have a very bad gum disease and have had 9 teeth taken out in the past two years. The disease has moved into the teeth that were adjoining the ones that were removed. I cannot smile and show my teeth and it hurts when people notice is. It makes me feel less of a person. I currently have 8 more teeth that need to be removed. I admit that the only reason that I hate the dentist is that I never have the money for a regular check up and cleaning all I do is go there on a emergency basis. I was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis (which runs in my family). I woke up this morning and my toes felt like they were broke. My mom has helped me out as much as she can with my meds. But in the last few years she has had to use all of her extra money for her meds. She suffers from acute migraines and was in the hospital and had a hysterectomy. If i could just get assistance with my depression medication that would mean the world to me. I would love to get help with all of it but I know limitations. Thanks
