@Bonnie:
Ah thats right! I tried looking into betterhelp in the past, but it was still quoting me a chunky price per visit.
I might give it a try once I pay off my car though. Assuming the economy doesn't entirely implode and I lose my wage xd

@MoodyB:
Oh dude, I've learned that doctors are like the most non-empathetic humans ever lol
Maybe they need to be for that kind of job. But still!

I hope things are going better for you now. Money really is such a huge source for stress :vanora_cry:

@koneko:
Yeah, I thought it was interesting that they did a screening. Pretty sure I've googled the same survey before XD But its on an official document that I could use if ever I find an affordable help!

But yeah, you're right. Its such a hard thing to attain help. I'm finding that it isn't just mental health help, even physical help is near impossible for me to find in this town! Maybe one day, indeed ;;

@MaxIsConfused:
Oh man, thats a lot!
I'm real interested in naturopathic methods (within reason), so I avoid medication for my mental health until I explore other avenues first.
Not that any of this is covered/affordable for me right now anyway XD
For now I stick to placebo effects! Like, feeling sad? This soda will make it all go away.

@koneko:
Yeah, I had no idea they would do a generalized screening for mental health. Must be a texas thing. To waggle it in front of me like a carrot, but in reality I still cant afford it lmfao
They do make it sound more extreme than it probably is though. I function!

@Bonnie:
Ohhh thats cool that they can match you with someone like that! That's extra exciting~
I always figured it was pretty randomized. But you said this was an online service? Its also neat that thats becoming more of a thing, because I cant IMAGINE sitting face to face with a stranger like "hi uh... ptsd's a bitch, right?"

@Totalanimefan:
I tried calling but I can expect a response "in the next couple of days"
In my time dealing with Drs, its hit or miss if they call me back at all.

But then I remembered the website Simplehealth. Did some research, evaluated the pros and cons and really it sounds legit.
I already got approved for birth control on there. $15 per year, $0-7 for the pills (dependent on my insurance deciding to cover it or not) and I get a 3-month dose at a time.
Now to research the pills that they're prescribing, before I approve the order :vanora_xd:

@Bonnie:
I hope it goes well <3

@Totalanimefan:
Yeah theres a lot going on rn so a lot of it is just environmental stress. My implant also still messing my hormones up too.

It just dawned on me that I waited about a month for this consult/care establishment "phone visit" so I can get bc pills ordered
but they never prescribed any. They got me so distracted, they only scheduled the removal of my implant and now I cant reach them again cause theyre already in another appt :vanora_stunned: UGH

PHQ-9 at a 21
GAD-7 at a good ol 15
:vanora_xd:
aka possible "severe" anxiety issues, nonspecific and not a formal diagnosis

Dr is like uhhh you want meds?
and I'm like no dude I want mental health care to not cost more than my car payments so I can get behavioral therapy
:vanora_upsidedown:

That subject always makes me spicy. Its hilarious how every time I see a doctor and they do these little survey things to check my general state of mind, they always get all nervous and worried like "you need help!" and I'm like YEAH WE ALL DO but cant have that can we
I dont qualify for financial help on this


I just come here to whine and joke.
disclaimer: I'm doing fine XD

Kinda lazy with this one, I didn't bother even shading the bg before blurring it
But hey, I drew something XD

after playing a bunch of Raft with my partner
we had the fun idea of what if our wols were in this situation

This is just one of many doodle ideas following our habits in the game. Zad keeps getting knocked out by wild animals, Rathiel has to scoop him up and run him back to the boat before the animals get him too

I did not want to draw the animals so that part stays in brain :' )

@Totalanimefan:
Yeah, it most likely was. I remember hearing about it in november and that it was quickly spreading in china. I was sick christmas week. I can hardly remember because I couldnt stay awake, but I was googling my symptoms (no doubt said I was dying lmfao). I just remember typing in things like, extreme fatigue, taste buds being weird, is it normal to lose smell with a cold or pneumonia. Wouldn't come up with anything useful, so I would fall back to sleep and try again later :vanora_xd: I did have a very specific cough, like fluid in my lungs.

I trapped myself in my room cause any time I got sick, I wouldn't want anything to spread to my family since they're like.. ALWAYS sick and immunocompromised. So thankfully none of them got sick off of me at that time.

@Synth:
I. LOVE. Chickens.
My uncle in michigan used to have more land where he had a large garden (like a mini farm) and a chicken coup. I was about 10 when I went to stay with him for a month or two during a summer break, and it was so enjoyable harvesting fresh veggies and feeding the hens, gathering their eggs. Theirs were white and brown, none of the green/blue tinted ones that I remember. There's a name for the hens that can lay those, but I cant remember! Super pretty though :D
They were very happy hens

Yay it worked when I did this at home
it just didnt like my phone haha

I've only had symptoms of covid one time, a couple months before the panic began. I thought it was a weird case of pneumonia where I couldn't smell or taste
Ever since, I've been exposed a TON of times, even making as much contact as to HUG people who were infected and ended up admitting it the very next day. Never had symptoms! I might be a dangerous type that dont know when I'm carrying it and when I'm not :''D Maybe at home tests will help with that

@Spider
DONE :D
thanks for your patience while I adjusted my new setup!


Are the lines vibrant on your monitor? My new tablet shows very vibrant colors, while my monitor is very dull. Wondering which is accurate :vanora_xd:

Sorry I'm getting spicy
I ALMOST GOT MY TABLET SETTINGS PERFECT
aaaaaaa its gonna be so comfy soooon!

@Totalanimefan:
I dunno but he has a lot of gull for bragging after stealing a sale from me yesterday.
I'm big mad about that one lol he's a very greedy con man. A true sales man i guess!
The kind I vowed not to be like

@Totalanimefan:
Yeah, its so dang expensive just to survive.
And while I'm over here cancelling all subs and counting rice grains just to make sure we'll be on a safe budget this month and next, my boss wouldn't shut up for 4 hours at work today about how he wants to on a whim just buy a new house with 3 car garage, ect ect, just cause his wife wants a bigger and more expensive home than his already half a million dollar house. Its massive too and fairly new, he had it built.
He just casually talks up the hundreds of thousands of dollars he has to expend toward either buying a new house or expanding his current one.

Then he comes over to talk to me about my sales and I'm like yea I'm hurtin rn.
And he's like "oh lets see what my wife just spent on groceries. oh its ONLY around $200"
like dude, stfu >__>
I love when people find success but god I hate bragging
