Vent thread

[philstar22]

Because I need to vent

Re: Vent thread

[philstar22]

So, I've been getting cluster allergy shots, meaning 3 sets of shots each Monday to work up to maintenance level faster. My copay for the regular, single shots was 8 dollars. I was told when I started these that my copay was going to be 38. Fine.

So today I was told I had a balance on my account, and when I asked why, I found out that my insurance was now saying that the copay is 50 dollars.

I spent 2 hours on the phone with my insurance. It looks like it boils down to my allergy place has been billing these shots as an office visit, which is always a $50 copay, even though these are shots, not office visits. My insurance company can find no record of anyone being told a 38 dollar copay for anything.

By the time I got off my phone it was 5, so too late to call my allergy place. Going to have to call them tomorrow.

On top of that, I put through what I thought was a simple refill request for my thyroid med. Only for my doctor to reject it with no explanation. Was going to call them, also didn't get to it before 5 and will have to do it tomorrow.

Not impressed with my medical community today.

I'm getting really tired of having to explain to my mother every single year that I Do Not Like Children and that being around them is the opposite of happy and relaxing for me and that I'd rather not take holidays at all than spend them with my nephews, my bratty teenage cousin or that other cousin's very young stepdaughters
and that she'll treat me as a monster for stating this.

My neighbor decided that at like 6 this morning it was time for the tree trimmers to come out.

And now, coming home, not only did they thin out the trees between me and them way, way, way too much, but they let limbs collapse through into my friggin' drive way.

Assholes.

Re: Vent thread

I've grown so tired of my life that I'm having fantasies of throwing out my entire wardrobe, buying a completely different set of clothes from what I usually wear, growing my hair out, maybe getting some tattoos or piercings, and changing my name. There just isn't anything about my life worth bragging about so what if I just completely ignored it and built a different one for myself, starting with my own appearance?

I need to persuade my father to get therapy and I don't know how. He's very stubborn and defensive of his independence, which I understand, because he's physically disabled and he hates it a lot and his body is constantly breaking down so he maintains control where he can - but the man seriously needs some therapy.
I honestly do appreciate when he shares things with me, but like, can I not be the *only* person he tells about his abusive childhood and the extensive history of family trauma I'm inheriting?

Re: Vent thread

tbh this is really all on my anxieties than anyone else but last week I posted a chapter of a fic and only got two reviews on ff.net for the chapter when I usually average 10 to 12 reviews a chapter on that site and it's just driving me mad because I don't think the quality of the chapter is down or that it's boring and it's doing as well as usual over on AO3 but I'm anxious because what if it was a bad chapter and I'm just not seeing it? Logic says it's just one of those dips that happens now and then but my anxiety just won't. let. it. go. I'm losing sleep over it. :( I don't want to have disappointed anyone.

I've finished another chapter of a different story but I'm holding off on posting it for now because I need to wrestle my anxiety under control first but uuuuugh I wish I could just stop obsessing over this. It's no one's fault. It's just my anxiety and I know that but knowing it isn't helping me at all. :(

I just admitted to my parents that I took myself off my antidepressants because my current insurance doesn't cover a psychiatrist visit, I can't get a new prescription without one, and I was down to one bottle. I'm unemployed and literally have no money to pay for a visit myself. They are struggling with money and can't afford a non-insured visit either.

I don't even know if there is anything they can do, which is why I hid it for months. But I just couldn't hide that I was in my depression hole any longer. They knew something was wrong.

Dear supervisor,

Don't try to spin the problem on me acting without instructions when I have your explicit instructions, your answers to followup questions, and a bug discussion in team slack.

I went out for two hours on Sunday and sat on a picnic blanket in the park and it's now Tuesday and I still feel like I got run over after completing a marathon.

When people tell me I'll be fine and that ME/CFS is not a big deal and I can just rest later, they really don't get it at all.

Tattoos/Piercings?

[(Anonymous)]

I've been thinking about getting some soon. Out of curiosity, how many tattoos and/or piercings do you have? :-)

Re: Tattoos/Piercings?

[bur]

I have six total in my ears (two in each lobe, one kind of sub-orbital, and one helix) and a tattoo that takes up most of my inner right forearm. I have no idea how I managed any of it because I have the lowest pain tolerance of anyone I know.

Re: Tattoos/Piercings?

[(Anonymous)]

No tattoos...yet. But I have 12 body piercings.

I have 3 lobe piercings per ear--stretched to, from top to bottom, 10, 8 and 6 gauge (smaller the gauge, bigger the hole--most people don't really notice mine are stretched cus it's not like a gaping hole in my ear/freakishly large earrings); I have a helix (upper ear) piercing on the left and an industrial piercing in my right ear. Eyebrow piercing on the left side, tongue piercing and both nipples pierced. I got all but the lobe piercings about 10 years ago now, I was 38-39; lobe piercings I'd had for a while (got those at age 13, 15 and 23/24) but did the stretching 10 years ago. I had my lip pierced but took it out cus I thought it was damaging my teeth and it wasn't; I may get it redone.

Most painful: nipples and industrial--a couple days after I had the industrial done, i accidentally lightly brushed my hand against it...oh, lord, brought me to tears. But once things heal up, it's fine. (I always laugh when people ask if my piercings hurt...my usual answer is: Not now but they did when I got them done!)

I loved getting my piercings...it was almost addictive, which is one reason I've hesitated on getting tattoos cus I think I'd find it equally addictive...but money! lol

Go for it fellow anon!

Re: Tattoos/Piercings?

[(Anonymous)]

Just one hole in each ear. I'd kind of like more in my ears, but my piercing holes have always grown over extremely fast, even years after getting them done, and I don't want to constantly be worrying about keeping earrings in like eight different piercing holes. So I'm sticking with just the two.

No tattoos. I've just never liked the look of them, personally. If I weren't so pale, I'd be low-key interested in getting a very small white tattoo, but I'm too pale, it would be almost invisible.

Re: Tattoos/Piercings?

[tabaqui]

No piercings. Used to have my ears, but my body really hated it/them.

I have a full back tattoo, both upper arms, a tattoo on the back of my neck, on my wrist, and on my lower abdomen.

Research your artist, find someone whose style speaks to you, don't try to control every detail of whatever art/design they make for you, and remember to keep breathing. You'd be surprised the Marines and bikers that pass out because they hold their breath (and also didn't eat - always have a sandwich or something before a tattoo!).

Re: Tattoos/Piercings?

I have two piercings in each earlobe. I originally got the first one at a mall in third grade; it was chronically infected and closed up really painfully two years later. Two more years after that, I got it redone at a doctor’s office. It never gave me any of the problems I had the first time, so a year later I got a second one at the same place. I don’t want any others at the moment.

I feel like I’ll probably get a tattoo or two eventually, but none yet. I wanted to get one years ago when my cat died, but the idea was to get a little bit of her ashes mixed into the ink, and my dad said absolutely not. (He’s not in charge of me, but he’s my closest source of medical advice, so I’m afraid to do anything he says is dangerous even if other sources say it can be done safely.)

Re: Tattoos/Piercings?

[(Anonymous)]

I have 7 piercings in my ears, two in my right lobe and four up my left lobe with one at the helix. My navel is pierced once.

I have 5 small tattoos: one on left ankle, one about two inches to the left of my navel, one on each inner wrist, and one on my left shoulder.
