Subnuts' Whiny Neuroses Thread

[Subnuts]

I thought I would shift this discussion from the 2016 election thread, where it was starting to dominate the discussion.

I'm a bit of a nervous wreck right now, though I'm trying to be a realistic nervous wreck, and wouldn't mind some pity and sympathy from my forum mates...but not too much.

I'm a Type I diabetic since 1995, and have been receiving "free" insurance since 2014. I'm currently working a part-time grocery store job with irregular hours. The idea of losing my health insurance scares the crap out of me. I live with my mother (who's retired and on social security), but we get by at the moment. If I lose my insurance, I'd be spending hundreds of dollars a month of insulin, syringes, and test strips, which wouldn't leave any money for either of us. Quite frankly, I'd rather spend my money supporting American-owned businesses, and not lining the pockets of pharmaceutical companies.

I finally passed my GED in October, and I'm looking forward to getting a better job if one comes across. Went up to my local job center, and they told me to come back next week for a seminar. So far, I'm not terribly optimistic about what's out there. Looks like there's nothing but restaurant jobs available in town. Out of the frying pan, and into the fire! I don't have a car, so I can't really look for anything out of town. I want to maybe attend a couple of classes at the local community college, but again, money is an issue.

Sorry if I'm ranting, but I'm terribly anxious and frustrated at the moment. I have no idea what this election is going to bring about, or what effects it will have on me. I'll admit to not being a very "strong" person and being prone to fits of panic at times. I don't want to sound like I'm being totally selfish, because I'm genuinely concerned about how people will be effected in the months and years to come. I just need to get some stuff of my chest, that's all!
