being poor sucks...

i've begun the process of applying for disability medicaid and social security disability - it's depressing as hell. my situation's so bleak that they're getting me on the food stamps program beginning next week. i suppose that'll help a bit, but the medicaid is what's really needed - paying the cobra premiums on my health insurance has killed me - almost $400 a month just to maintain my health insurance. but if i didn't do that, i'd REALLY be screwed...add to that about $200 a month minimum for prescriptions and doctor copays and it's obvious that it's hard to get by on $0 income.

i hate asking for help, i really do - i'm the one supposed to be out there helping others.

oh well, now i'm off to the endocrinologist's office...
