@spacecivet replied to your post:also I just got back from that dental appointment...
Geeez!!! Huge bills are what’s keeping me from getting myself checked out for anything… I know I have so many issues but who can afford that? I can’t even afford rent without roommates!! Lol. I’m glad they’re working with you!! I hope it doesn’t get too overwhelming :( <3
yeah, it’s really fucked how people have to avoid medical care :/ that’s part of how my teeth got so bad in the first place, I had no dental insurance. and the insurance I have now, the dentist I go to is out of network so they barely cover any of it. a lot of clinics and stuff will work with you on billing but there’s also the ones that are like nah you gotta pay all this money up front. s’why a lot of people use the ER for their non-emergent medical care (not the best idea but I understand it)
I hope you’re able to get checked out eventually :/ I’ve been paying various types of medical debt for over 10 years and I don’t foresee that dying down any time soon. but I AM making payments which is more than a lot of people are able to do. so I’m fortunate to be able to do that. and still get other things, y’know?
