I can't afford to get the papers I need to work above the table in this country, nor will I be able to afford a ticket out once my visa runs out.

...How much is it?

₹15,000, or $220, or my monthly salary.

You could try throwing up a GoFundMe or something. I'm sure quite a few people here would be willing to throw in a few dollars to help out.

Yeah.

[Descan]

yeah I could toss Japa like 20 bucks

[Rose]

My boss said he'd help me out.

Also it takes a least a week to get any money from abroad, and I have to hand in the application by Monday.

That said, I do have a patreon account.

[Trapezohedron]

It's weird, but I'm starting to have a longing for the sun.

I miss the sun. I sleep when it's up.

[TD1]

Probably your body saying it needs sunlight for important vitamin D stuff?

[hector13]

Humans are diurnal, man. They need the sun for a lot of things, else body clocks go out of whack.

[martinuzz]

Yeah, seriously. Your body really needs sunlight hours. It's not without reason that children in some of the Scandinavian countries, at least those living within the polar circle, get mandatory UV light treatment during the dark winter to keep them from developing vitamin D deficiency and depression. I think some if not most companies offer it to their employees as well (quite simple, light up your factory floor with UV lights instead of normal floodlights).

The Polish comedian Bohdan Smoleń, best known on internet for the "POLAND STRONK" video has died today.
Fucking 2016.

Also, apparently they found a "cure" of sorts for me, but the chance I will get it paid by the national healthcare is pretty low, and it's approximately 15000$ per year if I have to pay it myself, and if I don't I am basically unable to do anything.
For the rest of my life.
Coolio.

I think it might be legally feasible to request asylum in the Netherlands or Germany if you're denied life saving treatment in Poland because finance. At the very least you have the right to move there without permit, because Schengen.
But isn't there anything in (what's left of) the Polish constitution that guarantees the right to lifesaving (emphasis) medical treatment?

[Kot]

It's... complicated, to be honest.
First, it's not the fix for the liver problem (which might hold up since I haven't barfed it out yet so while it's not in very good shape I may live for a while) - it's the fix for the problem that caused me to take the medication that caused the liver problems, which I cannot take anymore. But yes, it's actually a thing that in most of EU it's covered by the healthcare because it's considered a serious problem, while in Poland it's only considered a "cosmetic" problem because it's only skin. Also, just moving there without permit might not fix it because I would need to be covered by the German or whatever healthcare and I am pretty sure it's not that easy.

Except it's fucking horror that stops you from leaving your home at all and doing most things, even sitting in front of computer is problematic, and there are also various other problems that can come from it, usually with joints and whatnot, and even then it apparently statistically reduces your lifespan by 15 years anyway. So, it's not life saving per se, it's more like disability saving but even then it wouldn't be considered like that by some. Also, I was wondering why would people get depressed over it or commit suicide but I understand it completly now. If I don't get it refunded (I don't know yet) then I think that just ending it will be much better. My life is shit anyway, so it's not like it would be a big loss.
Fuck, if I only knew what "The whole world is against me, it wouldn't be fair otherwise" thing I kept saying few years back then really meant.

I know that at least over here, we have the AMC (Academic Medical Centre) in Amsterdam, which provides medical care to uninsured (mostly illegal immigrants). At least they used to, and I haven't heard anything about them stopping that.



If you cannot (have your doctors) convince your Polish health insurance that this is not a cosmetic issue, what you could try is write a letter to their liver / and or skin disease department, clearly describing your condition and predicament with Polish law regarding it as only cosmetic, asking if they can help you. If it fails, all it cost you is a piece of paper, some ink and a stamp.

Liver disease department, contact info on the right: https://www.amc.nl/web/Het-AMC/Afdelingen/Medische-afdelingen/Leverziekten/Leverziekten/Levercentrum-AMC.htm
Their skin disease department specializes in Psoriasis, and are currently running two clinical trials. https://www.amc.nl/web/Zorg/Patient/Meedoen-aan-onderzoek/Per-specialisme/Dermatologie.htm#

Some of the time (okay, most of time) I can't shake the feeling that all of my feelings about being a gender differencent to the one I was given at birth is just me trying to be special. I hate it because it makes me feel even worse.

[NRDL]

Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to believe you're special, that's literally one of the things that everyone does.

[TheBiggerFish]

@Trapezohedron:Er, yeah, that's probably because you do.

@Kot:Definitely try what DwArfY1 said.  That's horrible.

*hugs*

@Gamedragon: I would say it, but NRDL already said it better than I ever could.  That said, I would be careful with something like that.  *hugs*
