I really hate making this post but I'm out of options at the moment.
Hi! I'm HeatherDog, trans shitposter and internet user. A little while back, I was formally diagnosed with Schizophrenia (and ended up having a bad episode because of it, go figure). After a fun hospital stay, I was recommended both medicinal and therapeutic treatment.
Thing is, I'm broke! as hell! I've spent all of 2023 trying to get a job but the market in my city is nearly impossible to break into right now, meaning I'm likely off to school next year just to get a better attempt. HRT already eats up my meager non-living expenses and having another treatment on top is too much.
before I link my KoFi, I want to make two things clear:
- I'm not in danger of homelessness.
Money is beyond tight but I'm able to pay for rent, food and other living purchases. There's many other people on here in far dire straits and they deserve a look first.
- This isn't a life-threatening disorder.
I'm not dying! Untreated Schizophrenia is fucking terrifying but I've been self-medicating for years (apparently) prior to the diagnosis. I've lived with this and will continue to do so, the only difference is I now have a name and method to tackle it.
All of this is to say, don't worry if you can't/don't want to donate. I'll be okay. There's no immediacy to my problem, consider this post as more of a tip jar.
That said, anything helps. All proceeds will go to a savings account specifically made to cover whatever this fun new mental party will ask for. First stop, drugs baby! I think!
Thanks for reading all this and thanks again if you throw something my way. It'd be nice to rest easy on this while I try to get the rest of my life back in order.
