Return of Security Deposit: RSA 540:A

Well - we found out that after moving out of the house in Manchester, NH that we will not be receiving our entire security deposit of $1300.00 back from our previous landlords.  However there is a state law that I think applies in this situation which states that if a landlord does not either return our security deposit OR send us an itemized list of defects, damages with receipts to back them up within 30 days then they are at fault for violating RSA 540 A which describes the terms under which a security deposit is supposed to be returned to the tenant. 
The landlords not only didn't communicate to us about our funds, they ignored the fact for 32 days after we had moved out of their father's house until I had sent an email to them indicating a demand for our security deposit.  They responded by sending a small check back along with another certified letter which has yet to be in our possession at this time.  We had listed my fiancee's mom's home as the place to send our security deposit so that we wouldn't get harassed by the landlords in the future at our home in Florida.  This is because they talked down to my fiancee and caused great emotional turmoil between our relationship and the relationship between the landlords.  It caused much confusion when the landlord's brother decided to call my fiancee as a result of an email that I sent to remind the landlord's that we would like the $1000 to move out of the property prior to the end of our lease and for the inconvenience of having the property shown by a realtor while we lived there.  The retracted this money after we had found a place AND after they decided to pull the property off the market while we were still there because us living there caused the landlord and his brother thoughts that it wouldn't sell like it needed to.  So because we limited the time for the house to be shown by asking for a 48 hour notice before showing the property and only once maybe twice a week, they didn't like those reasonable terms.  They knew there was an illness in the house as well that was being caused undue stress with having to move in just 8 months after we had been there.  It was a shock to know that we would have to come up with the money to move again and the stress that this would bring upon me and my illness was devestating.   It was easily exacerbating my condition to a point where I became manic and depressed a lot!
We will soon find out what the law states regarding the property we leased and hope that it is regulated by state law so that we can actually receive double our security deposit.  That is part of the damages you can claim and demand for nonpayment of this security deposit on time in the state of New Hampshire.

New Doctor takes me off my drug regiment right away

Image via Wikipedia

When I moved to Florida I had no idea that I would be facing a crisis in my medical care.  My new doctor that I have chosen with a specialty in neurology has taken me off 2 of my meds due to his idea of them being contradictory to each other.  However, I could chose to not go to this particular doctor.  We have to come to agreement that we both can live with in his treatment of my illnesses. 
I take Desoxyn for my ADD and have been on this medication for almost 2 years.  I cannot believe he just took me off from it, like that.  He also took me off of my anti-anxiety medication Valium because he says that it contradicts the ADD meds. 
I didn't like what he did.  He didn't seem to care or listen to me when I explained that I have been on this regiment for several years, but these particular drugs I have been on for less than 2 years.  I also only take my anti-anxiety medication as needed and don't take it every day. 
When I see him next month I am going to express my displeasure with his treatment, however I am fearful that he will tell me once again that if I don't like his way of doing things that I can find another doctor.  That put me off right away.  But what about my rights as a patient?  I should look into malpractice with his firm because it is his name on the door and I shouldn't feel like I should just submit to his will.  This is my life and my medical care that we are speaking of.  He is now my treating doctor and he has to listen to me and my voiced concerns.  If he doesn't in this next meeting which will be my 2nd meeting then I will have to do something about it - possibly look into medical malpractice or some sort of disability malpractice.  I should find out about my rights because one shouldn't just back down and say well I just will choose another doctor, cuz I cannot see that by eliminating my medications how that will help me.

New Doctor - new medication management program

I made an appointment with a new medication management psychiatrist down here in Florida and saw him earlier this month.  I have my reservations about him though.  He changed my medications right away.   My regiment was to include meds for ADD and anxiety and he took me off of them.  I feel uncomfortable about it and tried to explain myself after our short meeting and he wanted me to be off of the drugs as they were contradicting each other.  Well then I let his office know that I may have not told him that I take my ADD medication always but only as needed is my anti-anxiety medication.  Mostly because I have situational anxiety.  He wouldn't give me scripts for either medication.  I was irritated at that.  I have been on this routine for over 4 years now and I don't want to upset the balance of my past treatment which seemed to work.

So my next appointment is for the beginning of February and I have to pay a co-pay of like $45 which I never had to with Manchester mental health...so I am going to let them know to bill me.  I am going to suggest due to cost savings that I want to see this doctor once every 3 months and that my regiment that I have been accustom to for the past 2 years has been working and that I don't have the $45 an office visit to continue according to his process.  I would like to work together as psychiatrist/doctor and patient should.  I want to stay better and not relapse in any fashion.

I have been less focused, it's been hard to concentrate on my research I do online, I get distracted very easily.  When I speak, I lose track of what I am saying and that makes for a difficult situation for me.  I just wish this doctor who is so close to me in distance would just listen to me better.  That's what should happen, instead of his normal, I am gonna get you off from all of these drugs.  That's the doctor's philosophy.  That's not my philosophy however.

Why makes your blood move?

I love this video and song by AHA.  I love haunting songs.  I think this guy, the singer is amazing.  I grew up with the songs such as Take on Me, but they have a whole assortment of great songs.  This is one about a relationship breaking apart.  Wishing he had her back.  We are all lonely without our partner.  Does he kill himself in the video or is it just a metaphor for his pain?  Did he have an affair?  Looking and searching he tries to reconnect with her, trying to write to her, driving around searching.  Walking along a bridge and explaining that he is cold without her. 

I have felt cold before and know what it feels like for unrequited love.  But in the end he seems to make it without her.  Would you be able to?  Would you be able to forget?  Let me know.

This is a heart shaped figure created by the use of my girlfriend’s and my hands while we were staying at the Mirage in Las Vegas.  Supposed to symbolize our love for each other?  The ring she gave me on my thumb, symbolizes the long lasting friendship our has lasted.  Seven years is a long time and our blood moves our body together as we move forward in our relationship that will last forever.
