Thanks for the info everyone....I will check on getting help to get to medical appointments through our state and county human services [welfare] Every state and every county in Ohio is different....I do have both Medicare and Medicaid but have never heard about getting any help with medical rides....In my county it seems that whatever services are available is kept rather secret....the government agencies don't seem to want to part with much of their funds....I will talk to my casemanager from our local mental health center and maybe he'll do some digging for me....Today I napped just about continuously as I've not had much sleep during the past week....I so need to see my psychodoc this week but there's nothing that I can do about it :crybaby: I do have an appointment scheduled for June 7th....What's soooo difficult is the constant threat of not getting my medical needs met...I am concerned that this stress could spiral me down into being hospitalized...God..I've suffered enough in my growing up years and I'm STILL suffering...Not only from the PTSD symptoms themselves but the overwhelming stresses of trying to live in such deep poverty!!! What's really tough is that I can't see my situation getting any better for quite some time...My feelings of despair seem to be getting deeper....I know I've not done anything wrong to deserve any of this....but still I continue to suffer:crybaby: I know in my county that they don't consider my medical costs when deciding my food stamps...I was told once that $10 was the amount as they couldn't give me any LESS!!!:boxem: I think that my owning a vehicle my scuttle me getting any help for getting to appointments...I won't know for sure till I check it out next week though...SEARCHING FOR PEACE
