It must be hard to trust people after so many have hurt you so much.
I have also experienced the same kind of revolving door of friends in my life. I have been through a lot, and have been burned and abandoned many times as well. It's traumatic. I keep most people at a distance.
I never finished my degree either because I became disabled mid-stream, but I'm very proud of the work I did, and you should be very proud of the work you did, too. It sounds like it was all interesting and rewarding. Not everyone can say that- degree or no degree.
Congratulations on being eligible for extra help and possibly being able to take advantage of a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan. I hope that the plan turns out to be affordable for you because it would open up a whole new world of providers for you. I know that you are struggling in that regard now...

OhKay ~ Good to hear from you today
Thank you for sharing in a moment of sadness with me and understanding.
I think that my upbringing is what toughened me to be able to endure what I have dealt with all my life. Sadly, when 911 happened and everyone was reacting that there is "no safe place anymore", I would say "welcome to my world".
Trust is elusive for me. I open up and get hurt and I should have learned my lesson at age 68, lol, but I keep trying to find balance in people where I can exist. However with BPII and a broken brain, I am a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.
Congratulations on what you accomplished despite your disability
. It's really neat to hear someone reflect back on everything and are proud of what they accomplished in life, that is making me *smile* for you. The sun is definitely shinning down on you.
The confusing thing about being approved for Medicaid and Extra Help, is that I am staring at a notice from Social Security and Medicare that said (4 months ago), I did not qualify for either due to my income. So, even though my insurance company and it's on the Medicare website that I am approved, there is a little doubt in the back of my mind that someone may have made a mistake. It's the same ole story with me, so trying not to get my hopes up too high.
I will qualify for Supplement because insurance companies cannot deny for pre-existing conditions, however, they can jack up the monthly premium 3 times and that would force me back into my original plan and would limit who I can then see, because soo many providers in my state don't accept Medicaid. I should find out soon something and at the same time I am waiting to find out if I am discharged thru my bankruptcy.
I just did my budget and it's going to be tight with a Supplemental policy and I won't be able to save. So, whatever happens will be for the best.
Take care OhKay (( hugs )) and thank you for responding !!
