hello all!
i'm an LGBT, neurodivergent young adult and mentally ill diabetic on the brink of homelessness and am urgently asking for help.
my parents are emotionally abusive towards me, and has been for over four years now. while my self-esteem was never spectacular to begin with, they've thoroughly destroyed any amount of self-worth i'd ever had. my depression has spiraled so much further than i ever thought possible to the point of nearly taking my life twice in the span of 3 months. what did my mother have to say about this? "it doesn't bother me, it is what it is. if you end up admitted in a hospital, you're paying the bill and have to find a way home by yourself."
i have no insurance, little insulin left, hardly any money, anything. i'm terrified. with the help of a few long-distance friends, i've made a gofundme under an alias with intentionally vague information in certain areas so i can avoid being identified. i'm seeking a cost-effective place of my own, as well as new insurances, but am awaiting approval as of now.
there's more info regarding the abuse in the link. one of my friends is my beneficiary, as my mother has control over my bank account.
even if you cannot donate, please consider sharing as this could be life or death for me. thank you so so much for reading, sharing, and donating if able to!!
it's been awhile since i've reposted this!
while i'm in a different living situation now and things are steadily getting better, any help would be greatly appreciated! my mother wants my phone back by the end of the month since it's in her name, so i had to cave and buy a new one (not entirely brand new, just refurbished, but still a semi-pricey endeavor nonetheless). i'm currently looking into new phone plans/carriers that are compatible with it, as well as trying to save money for insulin, bills so i can help somewhat around the house, groceries, gas, etc..
i've applied for food stamps and begun job hunting again, and am also currently looking into medicaid (as well as insurance exclusive to members of my county), but it's going to definitely take time before any of it truly comes into effect. even though i'm utilizing what resources i have, i could still benefit from any assistance offered, and it would mean everything to me.
thank you so much to those who have donated and/or shared already, or plan to in the future. i could not do this or even be here without everybody's support. again, thank you. please take care and stay hydrated!
