My psychiatrist retired at the beginning of this month, and I was looking for a new one or a psychiatric nurse practitioner before that, since he sent mail to his patients to let them know, but I've had no luck finding one who takes Medicare is affordable, and is taking new patients. I'm going to run out of Xanax very soon, and I'm rationing them as it is. I'm suffering with a lot more anxiety, as such. I'm trying to get a new physician now, having no luck with psychiatrists. I need a new physician, anyway. However, I have to wait till Monday now, and this is a hard weekend for me.

My psychiatrist retired a few days ago. I have been trying to find a new one for several weeks, as well as a therapist and other kinds of doctors. I wanted a female. Nope! I looked at ratings and reviews, looked for someone who seemed to be a good match, and had to find someone who took Medicare and the fee would be as cheap as possible. Well under $100. And I want telepsychiatry. Call after call, I'm told they don't take Medicare, aren't taking new patients, cost too much, and/or some other reason I can't use them. I even called psychiatrists with bad reviews! I called the freakin' clinic I used to go to that was utter crap, and, as one reviewer said, you get a long poop load of ads for all their connected services! Then they tell you they have a longer than usual wait because of a high call volume! I was at 20% battery power, and calls are skipping (bad wifi at this motel), so I hung up. I have one psychiatrist I left a message for, so I hope he calls me back and can take me. However, my phone will soon be on the wireless charger because I don't have much battery power, and I won't be able to use my phone. I need my meds refilled soon! And I still have to deal with the ticket I got for the car accident (see previous post on my profile), and a ridiculous number of other things to do. Why does it have to be so hard? #Psychiatrist #meds #Anxiety #OCD #Depression #Medicare

Has anyone had to change health providers, like a therapist because of a sudden change in health insurance and certain coverages? Unfortunately #Medicare has to be my primary insurance now,even though I have MA too thru social service’s that’s closest to me. It’s been really hard on me since I found this out the beginning of this year and it’s my first change I’ve had to do because of it.😞

Today I got news I’ll be placed on Medicare because I have disability benefits. I now lose my financial assistance at the clinic I go to where I got free therapy and medication management for not having insurance. My therapist isn’t licensed for Medicare so I will have to stop seeing her. I’m devastated. I’ve been seeing her for 3 years and we have grown a close bond. She really helps me! I’m angry and sad. The worst of it is I live in a rural area and there is only a few people that Medicare accepts and all of them are not taking clients. So I won’t be able to see anyone anymore. I’m just crushed by this news. I really need therapy and I’ll no longer get the care I need. Isn’t this the opposite of what Medicare is intended for? To help you receive the care you need? #MentalHealth #Medicare #Therapy #Depression #Anxiety #PTSD #BipolarDisorder #SchizoaffectiveDisorder

And I was also removed and banned from target 2 days later, because my power chair died & I couldn't leave the store without it.

My chair was brand new last year and already is dying ?!

Ive been informing the abled that Medicare will not at all provide a power chair for use outside the home. The healthcare system doesn't actually enable independence.

People are just floored that the system is so broken that you are just doomed to be a dependent burden for the rest of your life.
