so, i get on this site after the wait period for posting is over and i almost forgot the reason i got around to making account in the middle of my extended crisis in the first place.
i have heard that this site has an excellent mutual aid network.
so.. let me summarize what this crisis has consisted of
- my partner and i were part of a polycule in georgia
- a fire in the apartment complex we were at consumed our apartment in it's wake
- insurance basically did nothing for us
- one member of polycule became exceedingly abusive, in a exceedingly cruel and unusual psychological way and a physical way too
- other member of polycule and i flee to live with their brother in ohio
- i nearly die of anaphylactic response like three times due to the brother smoking cigarettes inside with all the windows shut constantly. he would play loud music late at night be constantly drunk and then blame us hurting from it on us, calling us lazy. both my partner and i have type 1 diabetes, our health suffered a lot during this period due to lack of sleep (and more) impacting our blood sugar levels.
- we flee to live with a supposed queer commune in kentucky
- one very very controlling selfish and abusive person there ends up threatening to kill me in visceral detail after i call her out on her bullshit (she is like twice my size and very muscular this is perhaps one of the scariest things i have ever been through since foster care). then, demands $2400 from us by the end of the week, says it is now a tenant landlord relationship (which is fucking hilarious after supposedly she hates landlords). we fled from there, of course. we did it out the window and lost a LOT of stuff in the process (some of which worth a lot of money, we could have sold) but it just wasn't worth it after the threats of death. she does own a gun.
- we fled to live with two other trans people in indiana. they don't make a lot of money at their jobs and one of them is about to quit. i am going to help her find another job if i can, the both of them are younger than us and not very experienced, unable to handle the stress of many jobs much at all. the financial situation here is not very stable. currently my partner and i are doing gig work with a borrowed car that we have to help the owner pay the loan of. my partner is at their limit with interacting with random people, there has been a lot of discrimination against us here.
we're working our hardest to find more stable jobs and make enough with the gig work in the meantime (i have been trying to get set up with remote gig work but i need a hard copy of my id again, i have only had temporary ones since losing my id in the fire. i have been helping out with the delivery gig work in the meantime.) but it is just not enough. we BOTH have type one diabetes, and my partner on top of that has severe hypothyroidism. they are about to run out of their levothyroxine and we are going to have to deal with that soon as well, costs for both the doctor's visit and the medication itself. also our insulin, when that becomes an issue.
i hate to keep asking for help, which i have been doing on other platforms. but, we still need help, until we can get jobs that pay enough to survive with our medical conditions. anything helps. things are pretty bad right now.
