Like every other post is one of mine and, things have been rough, but I feel like I’m sucking the air out of the room and just pissing everyone off. I’ve been trying not to post there—which literally means I’m back to barely eating, and back to experiencing the brain fog and shit that I once naively believed was over. It’s like fucking Flowers for Algernon lol.
Bruh. You’re homeless in America which is a fucking dire place to be homeless in and I see you post with requests for like $10 here and $20 there.
I say this without intending to shit on anyone else who posts in that comm but there are some posts on there where people need a hand to make it through to the next paycheck. Poverty of any kind is shit and it’s all distressing but there’s a big difference between being at the “Welp, looks like I’m eating beans and rice for the next week” level of need and the “I think my body is going into ketosis because I haven’t had enough to eat” level of need.
It’s okay to ask for help when you need it.
If you can muster the brain power, I would strongly recommend signing yourself up with LiberaPay because if you use that platform then you’ll be able to get donations from anywhere in the world and it would give people the option to set up a recurring donation to you so that they’re able to throw a bit of change your way on a consistent basis that suits their flow of income rather than relying on the chances that they’ll see your post and act on it.
