Little Jo,

I'm sorry to hear about your Bipolar diagnosis. I won't say its no big deal because it is but it's not the end of the world when treated. Start with your county who has sliding scale fee for mental health. That will help with the Bipolar treatment and they can often find you help with other things, like your meds.

Little Joe,

I know too well what you are saying if you go see three doctors. The health community services really don't help if you make any money at all. We made it this far by the grace of God. I had to sell my business soon as I got released from the hospital, my wife had to quit her job. My back up was my military retirement then SS later on that's how we made those first few years. I couldn't even see any other doctors that may could have helped me get better sooner, they all wanted large sums of money we just didn't have.

We both look back now and say "Thank you Jesus" I made it over the hump! I just don't see paying these speciality doctors large sums of money we don't have for a medical service that may not help the condition at all.

I think you posted your reply on "forums" but this is "blogs"?
