I feel miserable right now

Post Reply New Topic

Today, my fiancé was in a car accident (he was rear-ended by another driver) He's unhurt, but I'm scared that he got whiplash and that another accident could happen in the near future. I love this man like crazy, and I'm scared to die alone without him.

It also didn't help that I was stuck in my job and couldn't be there for my fiancé. I am becoming less and less tolerant of my coworkers, as well as my demanding boss. I am also becoming more overwhelmed with the amount of work I have been getting, as well; I have so much of it that I could barely make the tight deadlines. And I only get paid $300 every two weeks. $300!! I've never worked with such ableist people, it's like I'm being treated like a circus animal. I'm trying to look for another job elsewhere; my fiancé, a coworker, and my job coach already have some ideas for me.

Besides location, the reason I need another job is for the sake of insurance and making more money. I went to the eye doctor with my fiancé yesterday, and he would not accept my Medicaid, so he assumed I had no insurance. So he told the receptionist, within my earshot, "Just so you know, this girl has no insurance" while looking at me. I've never been so embarrassed in my life! I have to go to the dentist this Saturday, and I'm scared he will not accept Medicaid, either. Also, I am NOT looking forward for that long lecture about the importance of tooth care (I have one chipped incisor).

How can I overcome these things?

Sorry to hear about all this.Sometimes it all seems to go wrong at once.I hope things get better for you.Im glad to hear your fiancée is ok.
Yesterday was a real bummer for me,I breed my male corgi to a friend's female,there were seven fat puppies.Then her pug female snuck in and killed several of them,how awful for the mamma dog.
Sometimes life just punches you in the gut.The only way to overcome life's curve balls is just to keep on going.

Sorry to hear about the puppies, MissLizard. That must have been awful.

My fiancé was driving a Subaru Impreza (an incredibly safe car) when it happened, and got out with only a scratch and some bruises. He's actually considering getting another Subaru, too. I guess I should be grateful for that, but last night, I had a nightmare about him going to see a doctor for whiplash, and took my anger out at my brother's girlfriend. I hate having dreams like that. I'm taking the rest of my work week off so I can unwind and not get stressed about work and the accident. Also, I learned my dentist appointment has been moved to mid-November, due to the fact that I am a new patient.

There's a silver lining in this story. He was rear-ended. He will not be found at fault by his insurance company. If he does have whiplash, he might be able to get a financial settlement. If he has "comprehensive" insurance, his car will be fixed, and his rates won't go up.

Being rear-ended is automatically the fault of the person who rear-ended the car before him/her.

I'm sorry you're feeling miserable about this. Please don't think I'm trying to minimize what occurred.

take it you're Shep's fiancee?

I hate going to the dentist. I really should but I know they going have nothing but bad news, so I can't aweful you any advice there.

aso for future accidents. I don't think having been in one increases your odds of another. I actually think it decreases it atleast according to averages. most people don't get in tons of accidents more like 1-2 in their life.

how many hours do you work for that 300?

here most places take medicaid or medicare, though there are places that don't. you might just have to look around or ask your provider which places accept it. I don't get why people would refuse it money is money whether it comes from the gov or from a company. end of the day its still dollars in the doctors hands.

Odds don't apply in real life.

You have to adapt to any circumstances which come your way.

That sucks, but I'm glad no one was seriously injured. I worry about accidents a lot also, but as long as you drive defensively the odds are low for another. Subaru's are usually great cars to own...I drive a Forrester and love it.

For insurance coverage questions, I would definitely call ahead. I hear that many dentists won't accept Medicaid, which is unfortunate. Sometimes there are free clinics if you check around your area.

Hope you feel better! I know how stress can snowball into a mountain if you let it.

Yes, I am.

I work part-time 24 hours a week. I've been earning minimum wage, which is where that figure came from. There are other employees in my work with disabilities that make minimum wage, yet the employees who are NT make more than we do, which is why I'm looking for another job.

I'm a cat lover. I love your witty line pertaining to purring felines. It implies that animals are supreme, and that humans are the flawed ones.

I'm sorry your fiancé got in an accident. Accidents are traumatizing; I've been in a few myself.

There used to be a shampoo called "Breck." I don't think it's sold any more.

I hope your fiancé is feeling better today.

that's cool you two are very lucky to have each other.


300 after taxes is pretty good for just 24 hours. I made 150 for 2 weeks working like 36 hours. but I make like 2.50 an hour after all the stuff is taken out.

worked at this place where they pay people with disabilities like $0.05 per item they make so they get paid super low for the 5 hours they are they if they don't make them fast enough. etc.

Hope you can find a better job. I am trying to become security myself.

hugs. hope you two can move pass the accident and anxiety from it.

He's feeling a lot better today. He's not as sore as he was after the accident, and his neck not as stiff, either.

Bumping because I feel like I need to say something.

I just got back from taking my fiancé to the dentist. I initially THOUGHT my appointment was in mid-November, but the receptionist there told me my appointment is at the end of the year. Either I misheard, they moved it again, or there were no more appointments available for November, though there was a cancellation list. I was not happy that I have to wait nearly two months for an appointment. With the condition that my teeth are in, (darker shade, at least one tooth is chipped) I'm scared they will fall out of my mouth before it happens.

Don't believe me? Read this article:

My fiancé assured me this won't happen unless my teeth really hurt, but I have my doubts, and even though there is a cancellation list, I doubt the patients before us will cancel.

I saw some Dammit Dolls while shopping with my mom yesterday. I wish I bought one so I can hit something with it.
