I’m a 30-year-old low-income, disabled woman in South Carolina. I applied for Medicaid, but was denied.

When I reached out, they told me that to qualify under the disability path, I must already be receiving disability checks (SSI or SSDI). Because I’ve been denied Social Security disability twice and am currently in the process of applying a third time, I don't meet their requirement. 

Because SC hasn't expanded Medicaid, there seems to be no coverage pathway for low-income adults without dependent children unless you're already receiving federal disability. It feels like a total catch-22—I need medical care to manage my condition, but I can't get state healthcare without federal approval.

I may be uninformed, but I had no idea that this was even a thing I thought if you were low income and needed health insurance and you fit the income bracket you could just apply.

Has anyone else ever been in this situation and what did you do?

Hello everyone, I’ve been going through a particularly difficult time with my physical & mental health. Feeling fragmented & struggling with feeling as if certain people have taken parts of me .

, if possible, I’d love to request reiki healing for myself protection, mental and physical wellbeing, grounding and strength. Thank you so much!

I feel like my life is over . I can’t do anything anymore. I just turned 30 and I’ve been like this since 22. I had some circumstances that I’m still in where I’ve had to keep “pushing through” and so my health has gotten worse no surprise there, but I’m genuinely terrified that I’m just never gonna get better. I’ve been through so many traumatic things terrible awful traumatic things and I don’t think a single one of them compares to spending 10 years of your life incapacitated during what should be the best years of your life most days I accept that this is my reality and some days. I just feel like I’m going to burst. I don’t know what to do. I can’t take it anymore. There’s nothing that can make it better. I’m tired of laying in bed. I’m tired of watching TV. I’m tired of thinking about how tired I am. I’m tired of talking about it. I literally cannot believe like I just can’t wrap my head around the fact this is reality.

I’m depressed but rightfully so I can’t do anything without severe bone crushing fatigue and pain. I can’t think straight I can’t do fucking anything. I’m so tired of it.

I’m tired of doctors. I’m tired of just living with us like I just would give anything fucking anything if I could just push a button and go back in time and never have this happen. It feels so devastating insurmountable.

I don’t need any advice. I’m just upset. I cannot imagine spending too much more of my life in this state. I just can’t do it. I thought about applying for Pegasus. PAD I know that’s a really dark. I’ve thought about it so long for so many years. I told myself that I’ll try like one more thing and maybe if my mind second shift I’ll somehow be able to accept this as reality I think I had to come to a point of acceptance and then I had a lot of stressors and traumatic things happen in my health got way worse and now I feel so much more severe to the point that I can’t function to do even the basic things I could do then and I just I don’t know

sorry if I’m rambling on this is so heavy and dark and negative and pessimistic and I know that I just don’t care. I’m tired of being so fucking tired all the time no matter what I do it’s literally killing me.

I just don’t know how people live with this for a whole lifetime. I think for a few years I was OK with just watching TV and biding time. Now it’s been almost a decade and I think I’m just hitting a wall with my patience and my ability to mentally continue on because it just feels pointless.

I’ve never been someone who enjoys sitting and doing nothing I loved living life running errands hanging out with friends phone calls working. I loved all of those things. I can’t really do any of that - it fucking sucks.

I live in an apartment in SC and 2 days ago I got a note on my door, saying that I need to keep my AC capped to a certain temperature no lower.

I have health issues and tend to run hot all the time so I sometimes put my AC below the temperature. They’ve asked us to keep it at.

I pay my utilities bills myself and have not had any problems with HVAC.

We often have management and our maintenance come to the door without being given any notice and I just don’t want to be caught off guard

Is my property manager legally able to evict or otherwise cause problems for me for not following the guidelines for the ac temp if I my name is on/ I pay utilities?

I’ve searched through as much as I can I can’t find anywhere to watch it for free That’s ALSO the English dub. If anyone has any recent luck with this, please let me know.

I recently really liked Maxton Hall and off-campus. I also love never have I ever. Awkward.

I’ve seen your fault London and I loved that as well. I could not get into heated rivalry Bridgerton. I tried to tell me lies, but it honestly scared me.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of TSITP but I did watch it all the way through.

I really liked the OC and 90210 because they felt like they had plot lines that just went beyond romance and I think some part of me wants that (just not too much like violence** or anything scary.)

I couldn’t really get into gossip girl for some reason. I’m not sure why.

I’m in this weird place where anything that’s not stimulating enough is boring to me but anything that’s too intense stresses me out I’m pretty picky mostly because anything that’s too dark is not my scene.

Also prefer things that are more modern and realistic, for example not set far back in time not sci-fi.

If anyone has any suggestions or similar taste very open thank you

I know there’s tons of doctors that can diagnose CFS but I need someone who like specializes in it preferably who can understand PEM pacing SEVERE symptoms to explain them to my family. I don’t think I’m going to ever be taken seriously unless it comes from a doctor’s mouth and none of the doctors I’ve seen even if they think they understand it they don’t.

If anyone knows of any doctors, I’ve tried to call the place in Charlotte. I can’t remember the name of it. I’ve emailed them. I’ve also emailed a doctor in New York that was recommended to me. None of them have gotten back to me. there’s a doctor in Florida, but I can’t afford it. I really can’t travel.

Thank you so much!

Just like the title says, I had surgery to get my first Seaton’s placed for two fistula’s in January and the abscess has still been there but mostly draining but I had to move twice which was really stressful and I have some other chronic health issues and so everything flared up, including getting another abscess about two weeks ago. It got so bad I almost went to the ER. I was in so much pain luckily I had antibiotics that I took only a few from a previous flare.

I took them and almost immediately. It popped and started draining thank God.

I went to my surgeon who said that the inflammation was back and she didn’t want to write me antibiotics because it would drain on its own.

I have to get a new G.I. doctor because my old one left the practice so I have to get in for a new patient.

Even then, most doctors are very wary of prescribing antibiotic antibiotics lately because I’ve had to go on them so many times.

They want me to start Remicade, but in the meantime, the cyst is back. I have no antibiotics and I’m having trouble even sitting.

I’m just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
