Things aren't going well for me, unfortunately. Thanks to the big weather changes here, my already very bad chronic pain and depression have been waay worse, and of course, to top it off, I once again can't afford my medication refills. Such great timing! I reeeally, really, really do not want to have to make a mutual aid request post. I so thoroughly hate doing it and struggle with asking for accepting any help or money... But I've exhausted every other option. Being poor and disabled and chronically ill sucks so much. I'm so deeply tired of it and I don't know how much longer I can keep doing it. I don't know what to do. Ugh.

Thank you for asking and for giving me a place to whine. I sure hope your week is going much better! <3

    Tbh I'm in hell and am super depressed and in pain and stressing due to chronic illness/disability stuff and not being able to afford my stinkin' medication because poverty since my disabled ass is useless to capitalism, so I'm trying to distract myself and redirect that energy into posting stuff in hopes it makes someone smile or laugh idk aaaaaaaaa

    bundle of sticktists

    I just spent an embarrassingly long time trying to figure out what 'faggottists' were, or what joke, reference, or play on words I was missing. It was only when I thought 'maybe 'fagtists?'', that I then simultaneously realized what you meant and remembered about fasces. D'oh! [Insert facepalm here.]

    Brains can be so goofy! I thought my silly brainfart was funny, so I thought I'd share in case someone else gets a kick out of it. ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

    Edit/update (the original post is under a spoiler drop-down below for anyone curious): Thanks to multiple wonderful people, I no longer need help affording my medicine for now! I'm having difficulty thinking/communicating and am overwhelmed by the kind response, and am kind of speechless! Thank you all so much for your help and kindness. It means more to me than I could ever express!! You have no idea. My flabbers are thoroughly gasted. You're also helping me hold on to my tenuous grasp of my last shred of hope for humanity... Bless you all, you beautiful people; seriously. <3

    This is now one less thing I have to stress about, and this and potentially being in less pain leaves me more mental bandwidth and ability to deal with it all...and that's very valuable. It's a big deal. I thank you all sincerely!!

    I apologize massively for my late responses. I got some really bad news about other healthcare stuff and my pain spiked and all I could do was curl up in bed trying to cope. ๐Ÿ˜“

    I am working on replying to comments as best I can, but will likely be very slow because of my health/cognitive/pain issues, brain fog, life stuff, etc. (I'm so sorry!! I hate that I'm not able to communicate like a normal person, especially when you've all been so nice to me.)

    The original post text is in here

    Original title: This is my reluctant request for help, 'cause I'm in too much pain and I'm not okay Original post text: Hi, everyone. @remington@beehaw.org suggested I post here about my situation in this exchange from a while back. I hate to do it, and I'm sorry, but I'm desperate. I've tried and tried to figure it out on my own and have failed. It's hard to think and communicate because of how much pain I'm in and my health issues, so I apologize if this is badly written. Please let me know if I can clarify anything and I'll try my best!

    I'm really struggling with chronic pain due to my genetic disorders, and I'm currently not able to afford my much-needed pain medicine, and I am not handling it well. (An understatement! I talk more about it in the linked post.) Usually a friend of mine covers it for me when I'm not able to, but they disappeared over a month ago (I am hoping they're just stressed but okay, they've done this before, although not for this long.)

    @remington@beehaw.org suggested I make a post here sharing my CashApp and stuff. If anyone would be willing and able to help with the costs, that would be so appreciated, but no one has to! I'm sorry I'm even asking. I need $55, unfortunately, but any little bit helps and adds up. I hate asking for or taking people's help or money and feel like a jerk, but I feel like I don't have any other option.

    My CashApp is [redacted], my PayPal email is [redacted], my Venmo is [redacted].

    Kind comments would also be appreciated if anyone wants to ๐Ÿ˜ญ 'cause holy shit, I'm not okay. I'm also dealing with a lot more life stuff beyond this. Ugh.

    Thank you for reading and thank you to @remington@beehaw.org for suggesting I post here and encouraging me to. <3

    I've added a picture of my sweet cat, Ziggy, as thanks.
