Prescription cost?
Does anyone here get their prescription for meds from Wal-Mart?
I'm on Ritalin (generic), and my insurance does not cover prescriptions. When I went to get it filled last week, this is what I got:
Methylin ER 20mg; 60 tabs. Cost: $39.92
Methylin 10mg; 60 tabs. Cost: $4.00
Both of these are to be taken twice a day, so they are obviously both 30-day prescriptions. I know wal-mart typically has $4.00 prescriptions for 30 day supplies, so why was the ER not $4.00? The price actually went up from the last time I got it, from $30 to $40. If I'm going to take these regularly, I need to be able to afford it, and $40 is too much for me. For those who get their stuff from wal-mart, how much do you pay, and how can I change my prescription so that I can get both of them for $4? Would getting only 30 tabs of the ER take it down to the $4 cost?

I found this community and thought
That maybe it was time to open up to a group of people.
The only people I have ever told is the people I trusted my life with, but I'm coming out with it now, since it's so close to the new year and I feel as though I should put that as my new "thing" to do this year.
Who did I tell?:
My mother;
who believes me, but thinks that it could ruin my career.
My father;
who thinks that this is all in my head. (which somewhat is, but he thinks I don't need help, that it will go away with time.)
My ex-boyfriend/first love;
who still supports me to this day.
Seems to want me back, but I don't know yet.
Fact is:
I have Multi-personality disorder
How do I know?:
I looked it up online, and looked at the symptoms, I pretty much put two and two together.
How old am I?:
I'm 18 years of age, and I started college around July.
How old was I when I found out?:
I was 8 years old.
Where do I go to?:
I go to DeVry University.
Where do I live?:
California. Desert Region.
Have I seen a doctor and told him?:
No, because I think I could be kicked out of collge from it, or be treated diffrently for it.
What's her name:
Cecilia;
there's only rare cases where the host knows the name of the "parasite"
Do I need help?:
Actually, I would like someone to talk to, please, thank you.

Two Month Anniversary
Yesterday me and Lawrie had our two month anniversary as a couple. In relation to which he wrote this very sweet entry, giving a quick summary of how we came to be a couple, and a quick status report.
I don't have too much to add myself, as my mind's a blur of cleansing Bioshock's Repture with a wrench (someone's gotta do it), Christmas gifts and wish lists, and studying in need of getting done. But I'm a very lucky fox, and I hope it won't run out anytime soon.
current mood:  sleepy

I work at the Big Yellow M.
Dear S,
I like you for the most part - you're fun and you mostly know what you're doing. But sometimes...
I realize you're tired, I realize you started 2 hours before me, but that does not give you the excuse to slack off and talk with people in the back.
The talking in general is sort of a entire-restaurant-crew suck as when I work, other than maybe two other crew people, they all speak the same language, leaving us completely shut out as to what they're talking about. The "English only" thing is only half-enforced as a lot of the managers are included in their group. But this doesn't really bother me... except for when it interferes with me getting my damn food because the back people are chatting it up and not paying attention to the fact that there are ORDERS ON THEIR SCREEN.
But back to S. I've noticed that whenever you are assigned to be on window with someone else, you will wander off to talk and when a customer appears and I tell you there is a customer (I am typically stationed in DT), you will ask me where the other person is or tell me the other person will take their order. Okay, yes, they are on window... BUT YOU ARE TOO. You are NOT on break. DO YOUR DAMN JOB. (Please note the other person is usually doing something productive like changing the garbages or grabbing stock from the back, not standing and talking.)
I can't stand slackers at work. I really can't. And this attitude of yours sometimes really irritates me (I can ignore it most times but some days...). What makes it worse is that when you see me without orders you immediately tell me to back you up on window. The manner you say it to me is like you're ordering me too: "You have no orders? Back up window."
Even funnier is that when we have our positions switched and you have no orders in DT and I ask for help, rarely will I get that help from you.
Yay for double standards.
I remember once I asked you to do something because you were simply leaning on your till and you whined how you were tired and didn't listen to me. I told Manager B in an offhand comment and she yelled and told you to listen to me if I ask you to do something and then you were all upset with me for the rest of the day. lol
She told you to listen to me because if there is no manager on the floor, they will ask me to watch over things while they're busy as I'm a Team Leader. They see me as a stand-in. I'm not telling you to do things because I hate you and don't want to do them myself or anything - half the time I DO go and do things myself because that way I know it gets done. I just can't leave DT for extended periods of time because there are orders always popping up.
Hoping you don't manage to piss me off next week,

Thanksgiving meet update... (attendees, please read and comment!)
As seen here. Alright, so here's the up to date attendee list at the moment (please inform me if there are any ommisions or cancelations), looks like we got a pretty good group. :)
A number of people have been asking me what everyone else is bringing, lest they inadvertantly bring the same thing, and we end up with like 5000 pounds of mashed potatos or something. ;-P Thing is, most of you still have not told me yourselves, so... I don't really know! So, here's your chance to compare notes with each other. If you see your name below, that means, at some point, you've told me you're coming. If you do not see a food next to your name, that means you haven't told me what you'll be bringing for pot luck ;-P (or perhaps I've forgotten).*
So, please comment here, and let me / everyone else know! :) I will keep the list updated periodically. Please keep in mind that just because someone is making/bringing something, that doesn't mean you can't as well - different people's takes on similar recipes may come out very different - but, yes... do try to keep it varied a little bit. ;-P Once again, I'll be sending out directions to our place sometime next week.
*if you are really really really unable to cook, store bought items may be acceptable. As is booze.
**Besides below pot luck, we will be providing the traditional turkey and stuffing.
Quentin - beans n' franks / deviled eggs
Rex - home baked cookies
Fal - pulled pork

I got into a fight with my therapist
hi everyone...this is my first post here.
i'm a 20-year-old girl and i've had GAD w/ panic attacks since i was 12 (but anxiety problems since perhaps birth lol).
i started seeing a psychotherapist over the summer--she's a holistic one and the first therapist i ever really felt a therapeutic relationship with. i really really liked her but she's expensive (i also go to a clinic to get my meds which i just started last month, and that's $90 a session) so i don't get to see her that often...maybe once a month or so.
fast forward to today. i was all set to go to my appointment
things you should know:
1- i'm in the process of getting my license. i was too nervous to drive in high school, plus i was going off to college in a city where no one really drives. i'm home for this semester and taking driving lessons.
2- i live in a pretty skeezy neighborhood and my mom does not feel comfortable w/ me waiting at the bus stop.
3-my older brother was supposed to take me to my appointment, then left an hour before and texted me telling me he wouldn't be able to take me (he was doing nothing of importance, btw, just being stupid). of course, my mom starts working overtime the same time my appointment starts but agrees to take me anyway...i was just gonna have to be late.
so i call the therapist, tell her i'll be 10 minutes late. it's fine.
10 minutes later...my mom tells me i won't make it in time.
i call my therapist to let her know this.
and then she goes: "this is not good. you're an adult and you need to be responsible. being assertive is apart of your therapy. maybe you shouldn't rely on other people." FYI this is before she knew the extent of the situation.
i was PISSED--PISSED i tell you. so i tell her i'll call her back, and when i get home, i immediately call her and explain myself. that stupid word "assertive" just set me off and my inner b*tch came out, i kept the language clean but my tone gave my mood away. she asked if i was "dissing her" because of what she said to me. we talked for like 10 minutes more and she explained that she was just annoyed and that it was a bad situation for both of us and yaddayadda and for me to call her back when i could re-schedule. but i'm still angry and i hate that this made me cry. i just hate how she treated me. like i was some stupid, shiftless girl.
i've ALWAYS been early for her appointments and this is the first time this has happened. i'm usually punctual for important stuff.
what do you think of the situation? would you go back and see her?
**CRAP i tried to make an lj-cut but i'm just having a fail evening today, so forgive me plz.
current mood:  irritated

prejeanized!
CNN: Ding Dong, Lou Dobbs is gone! hehee I couldn't stand his voice, face, or show.. I'm so glad he resigned from CNN.
and Larry King had Carrie Prejean on his show last night! Wow! Words can't describe how crazy she comes across here! .. oh wait.. I'm mistaken! Keith Lewis, executive director of Miss California USA and Miss California Teen USA, found some words! :D
"The public is finally getting a glimpse of the real Carrie Prejean who lives in her own delusional world," he said. "The childish behavior, her negative attitude, the sarcasm and condescending tone, the disrespect and continual lying she is demonstrating now is only a fraction of what we endured during her reign and after."

My dearest N;
I understand you hate your job. I also understand you hate your life. What I don't understand is why you would assume I too hate my job, & my life. That must be it...right? You only torture me & make me do all the work on our shift alone because you think that I too, must be as miserable as you at all times. Right?
Look, I'm at work for three hours before you even show up, & I do my job & some extra stuff to help the guys leave a bit early. There is no reason why I have to do your job for the next five hours, plus mine, because you're "too old for this job" & "I need a break once in a while".
Once in a while doesn't mean you SOMETIMES pull the freezer (your main job duty, that I've been doing for a while) & whip together a salad kit, then go talk to the counter girl for the next five. stinkin. hours.
Oh, & hear that buzzer?
That means the deli has an order.
Get off your rump & go make a roast beef sandwich, you crotchety old thing!!!!
Still writing you love hate notes, & probably will be until you quit/get fired,
C.

THE GIMMEES
So not FC-appropriate. And this was only one of many like it I've seen on the two lists I'm on. I think we've even already had the “FC is not a wishlist” email to both lists. WTF are the mods actually doing?

Switching meds?
I've just got a quick med question.
So, I was on Prozac for about 6 weeks, and I had worked up to a dosage of, ah... 30 mg, I think? I took the liquid so it was a bit different. But it wasn't really helping, I was still exhausted and I got super crazy yawning problems; my jaw's already bad but yawning all the time just made it worse (plus I have braces and rubber bands, which kept snapping on me xD) I talked to my doctor yesterday and he switched me to Celexa--10 mg a day and eventually getting up to 20 mg a day.
The thing I'm confused about though, is that he told me to just swap the meds out, no weaning off of Prozac or anything. Just flat out switching from Prozac to Celexa. I took the Celexa like told but I'm wondering if I should've lowered my dose of Prozac first. I haven't noticed anything strange yet; I feel exactly the same but I figure that's to be expected.
What do you guys think? Should I have been weaned off the Prozac first, or is it just my worrisome self trying to make a big deal out of nothing?
