By skyforbes After the passing of BBB, im terrified. I struggle with Bipolar Disorder, and through medication and therapy covered under MediCAL, I've made great strides towards mental stability. Im certainly not a paragon of stable mental health, but I've been doing so much better. I still struggle to hold down a job due to my disorder flaring up even with medication, but I've had a few periods of stability lasting multiple months since starting treatment, and when episodes do occur they tend to be much shorter and less intense.
I dont want to go back to the unpredictability. Before starting treatment, my depressive episodes were particularly awful, and my manic episodes left in their wake burned bridges, empty bank accounts, lost jobs, and many other regrettable events.
Theres no way I can afford to go out of pocket. If I lose coverage, I feel like all the progress I've made is going to all go downhill like a sisyphan bolder as soon as I lose access to medication.
Am I completely overreacting, or should I be looking at any measures I can take to ensure I dont lose access to my life saving medication?
