Melancholic Mediocrity :v_bi:<p>Hi everyone.</p><p>It's once again time for me to plead with the Fediverse for <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAid</span></a>. I'm reaching the end of my rope trying to keep up with everything. We've been even more isolated than usual due to having no car insurance which isn't helping our <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MentalIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalIllness</span></a> (es). I'm still being scheduled lower hours at work -- just enough to rob me of any spoons for anything besides work, but not quite enough to actually survive.</p><p>Our storage unit with all our possessions is past due and in danger. We're almost out of groceries. My phone service just got cut off which makes my vulnerable partner nervous in case there's an emergency. My shift at work tonight won't be quite enough to cover tomorrow's room payment. And I'm apparently going to need to just pop ibuprofen like candy indefinitely for this broken molar.</p><p>One small spot of good news: My partner has been incredibly brave having run out of edibles for his <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PTSD</span></a>. He's been out for nearly a week now which in the past would be unthinkable, his anxiety would become so severe he'd vomit until he was dehydrated after only a couple of days.</p><p>I swear I'm trying, everyone.. I really want to just give up but I'm trying my best despite this stupid fucking <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BPD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BPD</span></a> and <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a>-addled brain of mine. (I really wish I could get the hang of dissociation.)</p><p>Anyway.. to get us back to not feeling like we're totally drowning would require closer to $800, but I realize that's outrageously excessive, so instead my goal is to at least get our storage unit current and my phone service back up which sadly is also still excessive.</p><p>Please forgive me for the thousandth time, but if anyone is willing AND able to help us please donate to any of the links below. </p><p>If you AREN'T able to contribute, I beg you please DO NOT feel guilty or ashamed. Obviously I couldn't help you any more than you can help me, if our situations were reversed; so if all you can offer is a boost then boost away with a clear conscience because sometimes <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solidarity</span></a> is literally the best folks like us can do right now.</p><p>Venmo: <a href="https://venmo.com/thegizmotwins" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">venmo.com/thegizmotwins</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>Cashapp: <a href="https://cash.app/$thegizmotwins" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">cash.app/$thegizmotwins</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>PP: penguinpower8182@gmail.com<br>GFM: <a href="https://gofund.me/12171be3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">gofund.me/12171be3</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
