It’s all closing in

Just talking, if it’s not helpful advice I’m not interested.

I knew it was a risk and I did it anyway and now I’m paying for it; my own fault, my own fuck up, all I can do now is keep trying to move forward.

Over a month ago I left my job of 6 years for a new opportunity, that didn’t end up working out.

Currently I have no job.

Selling my car to have a bit of cash to get me through.

Whatever minimal savings was there has been gone.

Job searching everyday to be denied left and right.

Have an interview on Tuesday and hopefully another once I’m able to call back during the week; though I’ve had multiple “interviews” and still no employment.

If I don’t find work soon I will have to sell the “condo” and it’s the streets for me, it looks like. (Even with a year’s worth of rent left after the sale, places won’t take you without proof of income)

Hoping something comes along 🤞 prayers.

Editing to add I am purchasing a cheaper used car with the sale so I will still have a mode of transportation. Not selling the car I have now is not an option, it is necessary to pay my bills just for this week alone. Hoping the rest gets me by for a little while longer. 🫶🏻

When’s the last time yall bought yourself new clothes?

I genuinely can’t even remember. My weight fluctuates a lot so I don’t fit into every piece of clothing at the same time and I’m always reminded how frustrating it is to not be able to afford shopping. Even thrift stores where I live are starting to become the same prices as malls.

Always make me laugh when I see things like “what’s your style” my style is appropriately dressed for the weather 😂 that’s it.

Anyone happy to do things alone but simultaneously sad that they have to do everything alone?

As the title reads. I know two things can be true at once. Just curious to hear from others who understand what I mean.

What’s everyone doing this Saturday night

Depression and chronic illness makes it hard to have energy but tonight I just have some laundry planned, at least one load, and try to tackle the dishes in the meantime. After the chores are done I’m gonna take an everything shower, then put on some Harry Potter or Star Wars 😊

Help, no a/c for summer.

What do you guys do if you’ve had to live without or minimal a/c? I’m in Ontario so while it typically doesn’t get to 100+° it does get very humid here.

9th floor (top floor), corner unit. I don’t think I’ll have enough to buy a new a/c that I need so I’m interested in tips anyone has done to try to keep my apartment cool. I do have black out curtains for my living and kitchen windows. Anyone have any fans they recommend or maybe even if a dehumidifier would be helpful?

TIA.

Edited to add: you are all SO helpful, I can’t thank you enough for all the tips and tricks!! 🫶🏻 This was posted in another sub as well and…. The only “solutions” I got were links to expensive a/c’s lol

I’m not new to depression, it’s been over 2 decades of my life. But worse than it’s been. Now in my 30s, I just try to sleep life away. During the working week, I just come home and shower and love on my cat, play with him a bit then go to bed, could be 7, could be earlier, the sun won’t even be set. On days off, I wake up just to lay on the couch with my cat and take little naps throughout the day until “bedtime” again. I’ll have a cracker or something if I need to, but I’m barely hungry.

Laundry piling up, floors are getting gross, dishes just hanging out. I can’t be bothered. I do change his litter twice a day and change his water and food because he’s the most important thing to me, he matters more than I do.

If you can relate is there anything you do to help yourself feel better?

Not interested in “just leave” comments. Perhaps one day that will be a viable option but not at the moment.
