For those who know what I’ve been going through since just before covid started this part may seem repetitive, but it is necessary for people to have the full story. I have had the most insane past two years in my life and for me that is saying something. Two years ago my mother had a stroke and I had to start taking care of her. Being a disabled person myself that was difficult and six months after the stroke I had to ask my family back home to take her in because my medical conditions were getting worse due to all the stress.
What are my medical conditions, I am diabetic, I suffer from PTSD, depression, social anxiety disorder and several other psychological problems, I have liver problems due to a birth defect, i have a bone and joint problem, and while I don’t view the last one as a problem many do, but I’m neuro-divergent.
All of which stress is not good for.
I managed to get my mom moved back to my home town, just before the virus struck. Shortly after my roommates moved out without warning and stopped helping with the bills. At that time I had a joint bank account with my mom because I didn’t trust myself with money. And in June of last year when several banks were hacked into during the lockdown, my mom freaked and closed the bank account. It took three months for her to get my money to me. Three months I was unable to pay the bills or rent. And to make matters worse, my trailer park tried suing me despite the moratorium on evictions.
The stress was bad to the point I had a mental breakdown and I was unable to do my commission work I do to supplement my disability.
In September of last year I asked for help on here to fix the problem that happened due to all that and in October I thought it was solved.
I could not have seen what came next.
Someone tried to steal the water heater of the trailer, the oven broke, as did the gas heater, all over the course of November and December. In January I actually caught covid and yeah, the after effects are still sticking with me. In February the shed for the trailer was blown away and lots of stuff was damaged, including myself as I tried to get everything inside and the metal doors of the shed slammed into my back hard. Not long after that I lost my disability because I missed an appointment I wasn’t even informed of. More and more stuff kept breaking and falling apart one after another. Including my relationship with my then partner.
The isolation of the pandemic and the stress from everything happening caused the two of us to drift far apart and we had a bit of a messy breakup. The end for me being at the place I had previously owned came to an end when the AC broke in June, and I could not live there with the AC broken so I sold it, used the money I made from selling it to pay off the back rent and left.
I tried to find a place to move and wound up in a temporary living facility through the end of June til the beginning of August. I was scammed out of money twice while trying to find a more permanent place to live and wound up having to move states when one of my friends offered to let me live in their basement for about $600 a month.
I accepted as it was the only place I could find and the temporary living facility only allowed six weeks stay.
Thanks to the people on here who have helped me I was able to safely move, get all the stuff I got out of my old place here, and am doing my best to keep me and my cat Spaz safe.
I am working on getting my disability back as well as getting insurance and food stamps in the new state, but I still need to be able to pay $600 for rent this month. I have been keeping in touch with an advocate on the disability and they said they should be able to get it restored no later than February but they are hoping to get it solved as soon as October.
I have already managed to get $120 in the past two weeks so I only need about $480 more for this month. As my situation is stabilizing I’m going to be restarting my writing and art commissions as well, but that will take some time to restart.
If you can help out at all you can donate to my gofundme where the goal is set to the what I hope I calculated correctly to be the maximum I would need if it takes til February to get my disability back.
