They wouldn't let me post this on r/Arizona so, sorry if this isn't the most fitting.

I live in Tucson and have a friend coming to visit the 8th through the 13th. Yes, middle of summer + Arizona = misery. It was the only time my buddy could come down here though! Our ORIGINAL plans unfortunately appear to have been fucked non-consensually. They were:

8th- Spend day in Tucson

9th- Go up to Mt Lemmon (guess what, it's forecasted to be cloudy that day)

10th- Road trip day. 77 up to Superior, Bush Hwy, Beeline Hwy to Payson, Camp Verde, then 89 A through Sedona up to Flagstaff.

11th-13th My friend has 3 nights booked at a hotel in Flagstaff and we were planning on doing things in Sedona, and maybe fitting The Grand Canyon in.

Due to the Pocket fire, (tragic to see such a beautiful place burn but such is life) our plans of seeing scenic 89A, Sedona, and staying in Flagstaff look to be on shaky ground right now.

Any suggestions for us to see as much as what was in our OG plan with adjustments around the fires? I'm not sure where would be a good place to book a hotel in place of Flagstaff. I was thinking Sedona but is that a bad idea? I'm sorry if this is an annoying or repetitive question, but I have severe executive dysfunction and my brain is short-circuiting!

For me:

1.) The post '70s discography is just as terrific as the prior

2.) I prefer Your Gold Teeth over Your Gold Teeth II

3.) I would've liked to hear Walter sing more (not as frequently as Donald, but more of a presence)

4.) With a Gun and Monkey in Your Soul are fantastic songs and I refuse to accept any slander against them.

Tell me whatcha got!

I'm in Arizona and am covered under AHCCCS, the state medicaid. I have no income (I'm being supported by my mother who also has no income, just savings) and no co-pays.

I have had severe chronic treatment resistant depression for 16 years, PMDD, panic disorder, and NVLD. NVLD is a learning disability that despite being incredibly disabling is not in the DSM-V yet, so wouldn't count toward anything official I believe. That being said it shares symptoms with autism, adhd, and dyspraxia. I cannot work on account of these issues, and can also not take care of myself properly on a day to day basis. I have documentation to verify these things.

I only JUST started the process of applying for disability, which I know will take several years. I have no idea why it took me so long to start the process (probably the depression, ha). I've only had 3 jobs in my entire life, and they were part-time. My last job was beyond patient and lenient with me when they absolutely should've fired me early on... I stopped that work a year ago.

If the SSDI doesn't yet count me as disabled yet, does this mean I must heed the work requirements being introduced to my state's medicaid? In addition to having a learning disability I'm also an idiot, so I'm confused about what will and won't be required of me, being disabled, but not "officially" yet.

I'm 30, so yes I know I'm a loser. Yes I know I'm a leech on society. I'd remove myself from it if I had the courage. Unfortunately I do not so have to keep existing. I can't afford the numerous medications I'm on and care I'm receiving if I did not have coverage. I have many other mental health problems other than the one's I listed that would be out of control if I wasn't on the meds I've been on for years.

Look, it's been posted on the sub before but I feel it's necessary to bring to the forefront every now and then so folks can experience this for the first time.

This '96 version of Walter singing a pre-TvN version of Jack of Speed is lightning in a bottle. I refuse to pick a favorite version, but...

So, for several months I did Spravato sessions at my psych clinic. I did not find the sessions particularly helpful, but I was in a slightly better state than I am now since I've ceased going since February.

When it comes to transportation, I used my insurance's free ride service. The issue with that was... they almost never showed up. I filed formal complaints, the head of my psych clinic called the insurance, I called the transportation service every day before my treatment clarifying the info, and they still couldn't get it right. I'd only get to go maybe once every couple of weeks.

My mother has severe psychosis and is the last person I'd want driving me, and my father refuses (says he didn't sign up to be a caretaker for an adult child). I don't have any friends to drive me. The stress and anxiety from not knowing if they'd show up was killing me, and to make it worse, triggered my mom to go on psychotic rants about how this was planned, and we're being "targeted".

I want to attempt to restart treatment given how severely depressed I am now, but I'm obviously not confident in my insurance's ability to get me there. Does anyone know of ANY other options for transportation regarding Spravato treatment? I'm really at the end of my rope, and have been on so many meds (over 40) that my psych doesn't even know what else he can put me on.

I can only do treatment that is fully covered by my medicaid. I have no money, and can't seek alternatives that cost anything at all.
