I Need A Break

Moved in but haven't unpacked and have no plans of unpacking. We've had no functioning fridge for the first 2 weeks here so we had to live off of shelf-stable food. It's expensive.

@helly-watermelonsmellinfellon refuse to unpack, since we both believe we will not be here permanently. Just another hassle.

sorry for limited activity. keep reblogging palestian, sudanese, and congolese news and donating to fundraisers and on-the-ground aid organisations such as the gaza municipality and khartoum kitchen

updates for my friends, mostly:

• i am currently recovering from mild medication induced gastroparesis/vagus nerve damage. insurance changes and waitlists mean my only active medical intervention is in fact point of care facilities/ERs and my PCP, but these are enough for now. i will suffer but i will not die.

• i did have to stop the medication which means :/ i am back to the drawing board on treating my (now worsened by the meds meant to treat it, actually) severe insulin resistance. again. unhappy about that one but we ball

• i was approved for SSI after six years. my first payment comes next month :'3

• mango/sychosid and i are moving from a studio with a few stairs to a newly renovated, accessible, one-bedroom apartment "on or around" october tenth

• a dear friend of mine has suffered a lot of medical issues recently and i'm so worried about her. please contact me privately for a link to the mealtrain that will benefit her and her abuelo

• discord has become a little easier to use again recently, friends can add me there. my username is halloweenhavoc and my display name is moonsault scramble. please be patient with me

• mango's surgery did have a few complications during healing, but nothing that required emergency medical care. all incisions are fully healed now, they're very happy, and everything looks lovely

• due to ^ the everything we didn't have time and energy to prioritise ko-fi. two marshmallow meownthlies will be posted this month to make up for it

My ex-husband took a huge turn for the worse last night. I'm... Not actually handling it well. He damaged me, but most of it was just because he's an impulse-driven person: he thinks, he does. Cause and effect never really appealed to him as a lifestyle.

He was not being malicious, 99% of the time. He was just being an agent of chaos and making unwise life choices, consequences be damned. I happened to be married to him so I got the fallout.

There were some things he did that were malicious but not meant maliciously - they were the result of his own insecurities. He was jealous that I was better games than him, so he hogged the gaming system. He was absolutely garbage at MTG so he laughed when I couldn't understand the rules.

His mental issues are not an excuse, just the reason, but I... Forgave? Not quite the correct word but I let go of the resent ment, I suppose... Him for it a long time ago. I only have so much energy for hatred, and I'm busy using it on people who deserve it.

Anyway. He's probably gonna die this week, but my kid quit her job to take care of him. If you can help in any way, I put together a website with the gofundme, the Amazon Wishlist (assuming he gets better; if we can get him to sleep we can get the CPAP on him and he may have another few weeks in him, and we'll need those things), the Walmart wishlist (for food and stuff), and the mealtrain website because none of us has the energy to cook right now.

I just. I don't know how to handle this correctly. You know? He's my ex. I should hate him, because he did wrong me terribly, and he did hurt me a lot. I'm still deeply emotionally scarred because of his actions. But I can't see someone suffering like this and not give a shit. I just don't have it in me. We've been on cordial terms for about a year, year and a half, and I even crocheted him a scarf before all of this went down, spending a lot of time (allegedly) stealing really nice yarn from Walmart to make a warm one with pockets sized to his long torso. I spent 13 years with him. That counts for something, right?

oh I’m fucking sick bro. I’m trying to stop lying when about when I’m in pain and trying to stop my pattern of being vulnerable and then shutting down before I can let anyone take care of me or respond. I think I’m pretending things are better? they are at some points like I’m working really hard on my sleep and and and. my dad isn’t here to help me through it? my dad isn’t here to see anything or do anything or help me breathe because I can’t breathe and I can breathe and it’s good I’m alive but it’s crazy because he stopped being able to breathe without a ventilator and I can’t breathe without my mom or Matt calming me down and I’m trying to be honest about my pain and not pretend it’s not here but I wish my dad was here instead of my pain and I can’t believe I am taking off work to see his stone with his best friend who I really need to call more so I can have a sense that my dad is still alive through stories but he’s not alive. And I’m so fucking tired of my teacher saying everything is victomhood because now I can’t ask for help without thinking I’m playing the victim. shut the fuck up. how could you make a joke that my dad ghosted me? where’s your sovereignty in that? God fuck. This fucking email. I feel insane. I’m trying to see the good in everything still but having this rage underneath makes me feel like a liar when I know rationally I can have conflicting emotions. Fuck dude. This email bro.

global health emergency is all done! went bye bye! and my dad didn’t survive? three years later and everything is getting all “normal” post covid but my dad’s in the fucking ground and the sky? if I am okay during the day, it all crashes down on me at night. I’m sick bro I’m fucking sick I fucking hate this I will never stop being enraged fuck this. He should be here what the fuck

I wish I was in Colorado with everyone who took care of me then and not in New York because these feelings… I feel like I did three years ago. I’m in a moldy basement apartment with a mealtrain and buttered noodles and peas and donations and so many dying orchids. everything in a box. my hair to my belly, long and brown. ptsd bro. everyone visiting in masks and panic attacks. fuck

Hi, most of you know Farmer Phil, right? He's very sick fighting aggressive brain cancer. Phil and his family are in dire need of help. He has two small children snd a third in the way! Not just cash, they need things and food, and nursing. If you or anyone you know can help, there are lots of details at that link. If nothing else, please share this to your main feeds where Reckoning and Phish and GD family will certainly see it. Please help me get this out there as big as possible and make it as visible as possible. Thank you! Love you all! Link to MealTrain for Phil's family is in my bio! https://mealtrain.com/7d90k1 https://www.instagram.com/p/CkMnTBkJD4t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MealTrain Help!

https://mealtrain.com/3d8l2w

This is for my close friend, Destanie! She has been having some extreme back pain for a while now, and hasn't been able to work because her job refused to give her a seated position as an accommodation. She is scheduled for surgery to alleviate her symptoms, but she could really use help through her MealTrain! Please read her article for details!

She is also accepting help through her venmo if that is an easier method of helping. Thank you all <3

[bumbleflyyouknow]

My best friend broke both of her ankles a few nights ago. One so badly that it'll require surgery to put back together. She's looking at an 8 week recovery period. Many in the rp community should be familiar with xirishais and her work.

We will be organizing a meal train as well for when she gets out of the hospital. But for now if you're in a spot where you're able to contribute we're passing the virtual hat/boot around to help her cover whatever insurance doesn't and have a little peace of mind money.

Every little bit helps guys. And signal boosts are greatly appreciated.

PM me if youd rather send something through the mealtrain.

Thanks all!

Food

We are out of food until the 22nd. Any little bit of help we can get would be appreciated. It's so bad, that our youngest only ate lunch yesterday. We didn't have anything.

Cortes Island a member of our community needs our help! Please consider preparing a meal, donation or a helping hand. Pawl fell from a ladder while working on his tiny home. He broke his hip and required immediate intensive surgery. He is now at home but is completely laid up and incapacitated. In order to heal he is not allowed to have foot to floor. Please share if you feel inclined there has been a meal train organized link below ♥️ Call 2509350341 to plan a drop off and please see the link for meal help https://takethemameal.com/QQDU1349 #helpinghand #mealtrain #cortesisland https://www.instagram.com/p/CFKaxuxjrrl/?igshid=13adchgts6gol

I love to eat soup, even in the warmest weather, so I was SUPER excited to see #albondigas soup next up on the @mealtrain ... It’s one of my favorites and it was so impeccable with @afotogirl’s homemade blue corn tortillas! It was so healthy and wholesome, stuffed with chunky vegetables and handmade meatballs, and it really hit the spot.

With both pregnancies, I had the best intentions of making meals ahead of time. But didn't get around to it for one reason or another. Thankfully, the kindness of others kept me nourished those first few weeks after childbirth.
