[QUOTE="Steely, post: 107493, member: 3301"] Oh boy, I am so sorry you are having to endure all of this! I think the others have all had great suggestions, here are the only other ones I could come up with. A) If you are clinically depressed, stopping and starting an anti-depressant is the WORST thing you can do. You need to be on an even, steady dose, for quite awhile, if you are expressing depression this severe. I have been on Lexapro for ten years, and there is no one that could convince me to go off of it. I need it stay sane, and even in my moods - otherwise I crash and become seriously depressed. If you think of it as insulin for a diabetic, I think that frames the physical necessity well. We do not have enough Serotonin, and we need a medicine that will cause our body to make more, so that we can function normally/ B) Can you claim disability right now because of your health? That would start some checks rolling in, and automatically qualify you for medicaire. I think I would be showing up at social services door step, asap, and tell them everything, and they can point you to all the places you can go to get help. C) They cannot take away your house for the health bills. The worst they can do is toast your credit with them, so take a deep breath. Then call the hospital and ask to speak to the finance director and tell them what is going on. I would also go talk to a local non profit that can act as a liason for you. Whatever you do, don't file bankruptcy over medical bills. It is not like folding on a car payment, and they take the car away - they cannot take any property away for you in order to pay those bills. I hope today you are able to get some relief from this, in some way - and I will certainly be sending positive thoughts your way. [/QUOTE]
