For me, this is not a realistic viewpoint. I'm just trying to scrape by, and have been dealing with chronic health issues for most of my life. The biggest issue I had a surgery for when I briefly had subsidized health insurance. It seemed to help a little bit but didn't resolve the issue, and the supposedly better surgery was not available with the subsidized health insurance. Also, some of the healthcare people basically treated me like a homeless person or complete charity case when they found out that I was on a subsidized plan.
So I have just been dealing with it without health insurance, and the plan is to someday have a business that can support my health insurance and other costs I need to have a "real" life. Whether that will actually ever happen by the time I get to retirement age is uncertain.
But of course I am at least a bit depressed and anxious. The solution to that for me is to not be so broke and to improve my physical health which also is somewhat dependent on being able to afford healthcare.
- oatmeal1 3y agoI don't doubt at all that your conditions are very challenging, and much more challenging than other people's. That being said, are there strategies where you can develop an exceptional mind that is capable of being happy despite these challenges? Perhaps meditation or psilocybin would be helpful. For some people they are transformative. Just a thought.
