So frustrated. The mental health system really sucks.

I am really good at staying on my meds. I am actually terrified of going off them because I know I'll lose my shit.

My psych took four days to refill my meds, even after I told her I was nearly out. So I had to go a week without it. Then it was finally ready so today I went to Walgreens to fill it, and for some reason my insurance didn't cover it, and they wanted $300. I called the person who deals with this and she said she would call the insurance company. So I waited. And waited. Four hours later I called again and got voicemail. Then I waited again.

Finally I called at 430 and her phone went straight to voicemail. I didn't know what the f to do. My husband found a coupon on Good RX for $15, but I had to use a different pharmacy. So I called the new place to have them call Walgreens to transfer the prescription. Then I waited. Again. I had to call Walgreens and the woman was like, oh you want that tonight? It took every ounce of strength I had left to just say yes please without getting upset at her. Then I waited. Again.

Finally I had to call the new pharmacy who was like, oh yeah we filled that an hour ago. Where was the text message I asked for??? I finally have my meds, but only after a week and multiple failures on the part of several people. If I didn't advocate for myself and call people repeatedly I still wouldn't have my medication. It's utterly absurd what people have to go through.
