im really struggling
the amount of stress on my mind and body is really bad for me


everytime we're in a store i think about drinking, like when walking down wine aisles etc. i know i cant have any of it without getting horribly sick but part of me is like just wanting SOMETHING. i cant have alcohol i cant have opiates i cant have stimulants and i cant have a n y t h i n g. weed barely helps my pain at all and my brain is just. fckin goin FAST and im constantly in work & trauma mode. i can rly see why so many houseless folk cant get off of drugs - the physical & emotional pain is intense and ive barely even gone thru the hard shit of it

ive been clean from self-harm for about two years now but everytime i get stressed out and start having an autism melt down its the first thing my brain goes to. its getting really scary the images i get in my head and the craving


i've also still been in horrible pain - i cant keep up with my meds and i cant keep up with my HRT. the most i can do is try and eat and sleep and get to where we need to go
and the state is on fire and i'm right near where both of my parents live and aaaaaaaaaaaa im screaming

idk what to do for self care anymore either. we're at the cheapest airbnb we could find because of how hot it is and all the smoke is bad for my asthma so i have internet rn at least but i cant focus on anything long enough to relax

i also was harassed by a cop recently and as like a very obvious disabled autistic queer person it was really fckin scary
like he had his hand near his gun and everything and only left once my partner showed up
like he changed his demeanor completely bcus my partner seemed confident and i seemed """unhinged""""

@vessel: You're so strong for still being alive. I've struggled with a lot of the same things and I can't really give advice..other than to try and think about any small thing that you can enjoy at that time, which is honestly still really hard. Maybe look at some pretty flowers, maybe some grafitti art, or try doing your own art.. that's the only thing thats ever helped me.
I'm here to vent to, my pms are always open. Please continue living. I'm sure you bring light to people you encounter in some way. Your existence alone is a beautiful thing.

@vessel: I know it's hard at times but look how far you made it already. And i know it's been said so many times and different ways but 'there is a light at the end of the journey' even if it doesn't seem like it. I know i have to keep reminding my self that in my own personal dark times. And i'm sure at some point things will start getting better for you even though they seem so far away right now.

@vessel: that’s horrible. And I don’t really have anything to say that can make it better.
I hope the fires stop soon. Someone else I know just left their house today and I don’t know if she will be coming back to a house at all. :(
I’m sure that you have looked into it but maybe there are mental health services for your area. For homeless or otherwise. Stay strong like you have been doing.

@vessel: yeah I lived in CA the last 5 years. I know about horrible wildfires and the damage smoke can do to your body.
My friend is having a rough time because she has a farm with cows and chickens and she doesn’t know what to do and how to get them out and keep them safe.
