[tmi-ish health shit, mute]

I have an ulcer in my mouth under my tongue, and on the same side, one of my tonsils is all swollen. can't see it (too fat) but I can feel it.

And I've head a headache for literal months now.

tl;dr: i feel. like shit.

Get to urgent care stat not a life threatening illness but enough of a problem that it warrants quick action.

Unfortunately, no insurance. And broke.

I have requested, many times, when I did have insurance, to have my tonsils removed but they never would. The damn things do this a lot (several times a year), but that wasn’t enough to get them removed.

Interesting that makes me mad and sucks you don’t have insurance. I don’t know where you live but do you qualify for Medicaid?

i'm really shocked you can't get medicaid, my state gave me medicaid just for being an uninsured mother

I probably could but I always freak out and go into panic attack mode when I have to fill out the paperwork. Because my anxiety is fucking terrible. And none of the offices (my usual cheat) are open because plague.

sometimes you can have others fill it out and you just like sign the paper work at the end

Yeah, it's just... I really need to do it in a quiet space, which is why I tend to go into the office, but those are all close, and I can't think with a 3 yo around.

It's really stupid how stressful filling out paperwork to get healthcare is... because if I had healthcare, I could fill it out if my anxiety was managed! ... But it's completely unmanaged so and I can't fill out the stupid paperwork. shrug Fuck me, I guess.

My anxiety is currently so bad, I don't want to log into SL or play fucking Animal Crossing. Because people.

hugs!
