Ooof, I'm not doing well. My disabilities and chronic illnesses and chronic pain are flaring up in all kinds of ways and I had to overdraft my bank account by $20 to afford my medication and I don't know how the hell I'm going to get the money to dig out of that hole since I can't work due to the aforementioned disabilities. & Then on top of that I have no idea how I'm going to be able to afford my medication next week.
I had a friend helping me but they lost their job so I'm on my own. Everything is so damn expensive and DEAR GOD HELP ME I'M DROWNING 😭
Our air conditioner is broken and I'm super heat sensitive which is making the pain and other symptoms worse. In really stressed about that and the money and I don't know what to do. I don't have anything I can sell. I'm FUCKED. OhgodohgodohgodfuckfuckFUCK
You in the US, friend? I know our social safety net ain't great, but you should make sure you're on social security, EBT, Medicaid, the whole 9 if you can be. Our social services ain't great but they can go a LONG way if you use them right.
