TLDR: I am struggling and I need to ask for help. I'm 5 days late on rent, and in an unstable enough situation that this is a huge problem. If anyone can spare anything, I'd be incredibly appreciative. Apologies for the long post, too.

A Personal Update | CW: Mental Health. Disability, & Financial Instability | @Tavernkeeper Updates

Last night, I wasn't in the right headspace to elaborate, but I am going to do so a bit right now. This will be a bit of a long post, though. It will also be on the personal side, though I don't plan to make a habit of going into this level of detail. I also understand that I don't necessarily need to, but I want to and I hope you are all okay with that.

I've been dealing with a lot for quite some time. This year has been especially challenging in ways most of you don't realize beyond surface-level updates. I'm not here to change that because I do want to keep some level of privacy. But it's no secret that I've been struggling, and that it's related to my health. Being at least somewhat transparent about these things is just who I am. I am sorry if it comes across as complaining, but that's never intended.I didn't realize how much I needed this weekend until I actually had it. It wasn't technically an actual vacation, since my hours weren't affected, but it was dedicated time away from my workplace. I structured it so that I basically just decided my days off for last week and this week, putting them together to have them in a row instead of sporadic. I'd originally planned to help with OctoGeisha's Artists & Creativity Raid Train, but complications arose on my end before it even started.

On Friday, when I had to cancel due to spotty power and internet, that became the catalyst. Unable to participate in the Raid Train, I tried focusing on stream-related work and carving out some time for myself, but it didn't help. Not the way that I hoped, I guess. That day, I broke down pretty heavily. The context? Everything. All of it converged at once. I managed to pull myself together enough to stream on Saturday, though it was still difficult, and I reverted back to that earlier mood shortly after ending stream, if I am being honest. I had a great time, but a great time didn't negate the issues. Still, the break was nice. But Sunday rolled around, and the turmoil in my mind got a lot worse. I thought that I'd be able to get it under control in time for stream, and for a bit it seemed like I was managing, but I couldn't even manage to talk to my friends until sometime after midnight. I just sat there listening and trying to calm down. Typing and organizing my thoughts. I honestly worked through quite a few things, and I think I am doing a lot better at the moment. But that still leaves one of the biggest things that started it, and I think that I honestly need to ask for help.The biggest stressor, that likely triggered everything that spiralled out of control this weekend, is that I'm short on rent and already five days late. My living situation has felt fragile for a long time, and I'm afraid this could be the tipping point I dread. The reason that this issue so easily spirals is honestly that I wish I could just be healthier and work more, and I have a very hard time grappling with the fact that I simply can't. I am not even supposed to work what I do, but due to a lot of my situation, I also don't qualify for Disability Benefit, so I have to go against my doctor on this. Even if they took me off of work completely, I can't get in with the specialists that would need to confirm certain things for me to qualify. Even with it, I'd probably still work. But I'd be able to get certain accommodations that would make work less difficult on my body, and I'd also have some financial and medical coverage. Without it, I just struggle, though. My new doctor and my hematologist both have said they can't believe that I manage. While that sometimes makes me feel strong, it also makes me realize that I probably push myself a lot harder than I should a lot of the time.Anyway, that said, I'm genuinely stuck right now, and I don't know where else to turn. Asking for help isn't a strong suit of mine, though I know I've had to before. Quite frankly, it's usually friends that convince me that I need help and shouldn't push alone. Today though, I am reaching out completely on my own. I've missed work due to the ongoing health issues, which have put me further and further behind. I never really financially recovered after my surgery a few months ago set me back, and my complication not getting properly taken care of has meant that I have been missing work more than I'd like to admit. I barely spend on anything beyond essentials, so I can't just "cut back." I've sold a bunch of stuff already this past month just to make it by. But I am genuinely at my wits end for doing this myself. I'm in a position where I feel I have to ask for help, and I'm sorry it's come to that. I can manage without medications and groceries for a week, but even with that cut back, my next paycheck won't cover what I'm missing for rent at this point.

If there's anyone reading this who has the ability to help without putting themself out, I would be endlessly grateful. If not, I completely understand. I know that there are a lot of people struggling out there. But thank you for reading, regardless. 

P.S. I'd be happy to draw something for you digitally or traditionally in return. I'd open actual commission slots, but I'm not in the headspace to figure out prices/what style I could manage atm. But I am sure we could come up with something. I'd love a chance to thank you.   [purple and blue heart emotes]

Being a burned out caretaker/parent doesn’t excuse abuse. I refuse to accept the normalization of using/abusing a vulnerable dependent to self-regulate because the caretaker is struggling.

I kinda hate that nothing I do helps my disabilities more than a little. It doesn't matter what I eat or that I started doing yoga & calisthenics every day, there's a hard limit on improvement of my fatigue, stamina & pain levels. Abled niggas swear I'm lying tho, esp cuz I'm fat & Black. #disabled

I'm back from going out of town. It was a good visit & I'm glad I was able to go. I'm tired, but glad to be back. Now I'm back to the grind of trying to get the money together to take care of things that need taken care of, while kindly asking for a bit of help. Please & thank you. 🫶🫰

Ableist conversation every #disabled person has had to endure :

"Oh, you can't work from home?"

No, I can't type on keyboard except on my phone lying in bed. Not able to sit or stand very long.

"There must be SOMETHING you can do though!"

Me : like what?

"I uhh I uhh, I dunno yoga!"
