in between housing right now and have been staying in a hotel. i get paid tuesday night, i just need help maintaining the room until i get paid again so im not on the street. i can provide whatever proof of income is needed, thank you 🙏

it took way too long for me to finally get help but after 8 months of bleeding heavily from my period i finally came to the hospital. they all told me what i’d been ignoring for months—that i was abnormally pale, my blood levels were way too low (hemoglobin of 3) that’s what had been causing my inability to function. i’ve gotten about 4 bags of blood pumped through IV and next i’ll get iron but i already feel so so much better. i nearly cried from the difference

Might be a stupid question, but I’m just wondering if there are any people that have adapted or found an alternative/unconventional way of living that they are not necessarily trying to break out of. If so, would you share?

my boyfriend is a wonderful man who supports me in every way.

but my issues are much bigger than him, than our relationship and anything he could provide me at the moment. although i love being with him i often think that there’s some higher force keeping us together because without him i most definitely would not be here. i fantasize a lot about him ending things with me so that i can finally commit because I can’t bring myself to abandon him in that way while we’re together. we’re all each other has.

i attempted to break up with him a few months ago so that i could attempt and he saw straight through it. I tried my best to explain that mentally I was not in a good place and the burden was not his to bear, but he was insistent that I shouldn’t have to go through it alone. he blew up my phone for hours and i admitted to him i was about to try. unfortunately he knows that the only instance i would ever truly try to leave is if i meant to harm myself.

i tried again recently but lied and told him i just wanted to admit myself to a psych ward. i told him i might be gone for awhile. he didn’t believe me and he was right not to. he had a breakdown and guilt kept me from doing anything.

i love him so much and i just want to free him from this cycle. i don’t know what to do.

This is not going to be so much of a sob story, as much as it is just a reflection on my life thus far. I'm 23 years old, and even growing up, when my parents were active in my life, they were pretty much the only family that I had. I was a bit of an outcast growing up, didn't have too many friends, and my relationship with my parents was already weak due to my dad being both physically and emotionally abusive and my mom being absorbed in her own little world.

I completely cut contact with my dad about a year ago, my sister as well, and I have a few other siblings that I just wasn't particularly close to growing up that I haven't spoken to either. Until a few weeks ago, my mom was the only family member that I was in contact with, but not necessarily because I thought she was an amazing person. Our relationship has always been somewhat transactional. I had a nice job, and sometimes she'd ask me for money. Sometimes I asked her for favors and offered her money to do them. But this year, I've fallen sick. I lost my job because of it. Subsequently, the support my mom had for me at this time began to waver as well. She became very dismissive of everything that I would say, even when I would just call her to kind of vent and explain that I was very worried for myself. I eventually began to realize that I was trying to force a connection that was never there. I stopped calling, and so did she.

I'm typing this now from the room of a hotel after I lost my apartment. I've spent most days completely bedridden, sick and terrified. My entire face has gone white, my lips are pale, my cough is getting worse. I've been undergoing prolonged menstrual bleeding for about seven months, and I cannot do any activity for longer than ten minutes without just about passing out.

Yesterday was the first time in all my life I felt the weight of the loneliness. I put my pride aside and I dialed my aunt's number. It went to voicemail. I then texted her, letting her know who it was and to call me when she got the chance. I had no other plans but to simply talk to her and explain that I've been sick for a little while and I'm a bit scared. I waited all day long for a call, and it never came. I've made up a million excuses in my head about why this could have been. Even going so far as telling myself that she switched her number and it was someone else's now.

As each day goes by, I am more and more aware that I could very well die in this hotel room, which I have booked for the next few weeks. And no one would know anything until the smell of my rotting body starts seeping through the walls. There wouldn't be a single concerned text from my dad, from my siblings, from my grandparents, from my aunt.

That is why I lay here, staring at the ceiling, without motivation to get better… simply waiting, or hoping, for this life to be over with already.

I scrapped up enough to get some groceries delivered. I am currently sick and without transportation so I don’t have any other means to recieve them. please if anyone is willing, all I need is money for the delivery fee + the tip. I would be so grateful

I haven’t been to a doctor yet, but I believe I’m experiencing anemia symptoms that is caused by prolonged menstrual bleeding for about seven months now.

I’m tired, and i’m tired of feeling tired. i’m also scared that any day now i might fall asleep and not wake back up.

things have gotten so bad for me that I can’t shower without feeling tired. I can’t stand for long periods or time. i can’t simply walk to my car without feeling dizzy and that i’ll faint or throw up. my heart races and i feel winded doing things like feeding my cat. It would take me three entire days to clean a small room. I feel i have become completely bedridden at this point.

I don’t complain much to anyone about my situation because they’ll tell me the same thing—go to the doctor. and I want to. I really want to. but I have this deep seated fear of going and not being taken seriously or dismissed and sent on my way. i’m a 23 year old woman of color who is plus sized and this has been my experience with hospitals for most of my adult life.

I don’t know what kind of responses I expect from this. its my first time truly opening up about this because I’m honestly just so scared of people reducing this issue to my weight or just not taking me seriously. I understand the stigma of plus sized women but just five months ago I was able to clean an entire apartment within an hour and now I can barely even do my laundry.

this is my last attempt at this before my car is totaled in less than 24 hours. I have tried my best to work with the dealership and my insurance, but they aren’t willing to wait two more weeks for payment. I understand most people here only work with those who’s trust is already built. if there’s anyone at all willing to take a chance on someone like me, know that you will have contributed to keeping someone in their home. god bless.
