I have no idea what I used to blog about. Well that is not entirely true, I could get on my Live Journal, and see. It still exists, after all. The question should be why start a new blog, when I share my entire life on Facebook daily.
I'm thinking I may vent here. Just plain complain, about anything that is bothering me that day. I guess this is a warning. I currently only have one follower, and she listens to me complain ALL THE TIME, but if anyone else wanders by, this should serve as a heads-up. THERE WILL BE WHINING OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!!!!!
So, what's bothering Jenx today?
What you maybe need to know to understand this entry is that I am mentally ill. I have Borderline Personality Disorder. If you have an interest: http://www.bpdcentral.com/, these are very helpful people. Long diagnosis short, it's kind of like having second degree burns all over, only emotionally.
What pisses me off today is the lack of available mental health care for the uninsured. Did I mention that includes me? If you are homeless you can get help, but otherwise, you are pretty well screwed. The process of LOOKING for help is incredibly tedious, and I can only assume having to do this is even more difficult with an illness. I've never tried to do it sane, but then, I have never been sane.
What's even sadder about this is that we've now been told we CAN get better. After YEARS of therapists refusing to work with us, and feeling hopeless, we read this: http://articles.latimes.com/. What is supposed to be hopeful is perhaps MORE depressing, because I could get better, if I could find someone to treat me.
Where is my Dr. Wilbur?
Complain away. If I know you, you'll be posting happy book reviews and movie reviews in no time.
