Really depressed by the thought that I might not be able to fit in enough work to cover rent by the end of the month. Covid mid month took a dent out of my earnings. Now I'm finally regaining enough strength to work my assortment of jobs again, and I can see the end of the month looming.
Running out of money to survive but so is everyone else. Feels like social media is back to back fundraising posts, which to be super clear the posts themselves don't bother me; the economic conditions that make those posts necessary bother the hell out of me.
It's such a struggle balancing "you need to rest enough to recover" with "you need to work enough to afford rent". And asking for money is work. It's basically running a one-person nonprofit. It honestly feels like more effort than doing UberEats deliveries.
Btw if you don't have money to give please don't use my posts to make yourself feel guilty, remember that keeping enough money on hand to cover your own food and lodging expenses is "caring for the needs of vulnerable people".
The only thing worse than looking at how screwed I am is the possibility that other people might respond with unsolicited advice. Cause assigning me extra tasks will not help me. The only thing that helps is taking some tasks off my plate, either by helping me cover my expenses, or by allowing me to delegate tasks to you.
