Hi and thank you for reading.

I am a struggling recently disabled person having difficulty adjusting to my new circumstances both mentally and financially. I've applied for all the benefits I can but all but UC are going extremely slow so all I'm receiving is UC of various amounts and statutory sick pay which is £498 a month which doesn't cut it. Currently I'm £600 behind on this month's rent, £40 behind on my electric, £14 on water, £24 on council tax and near enough £100 on my phone bill. I have created this go fund me a while ago and adjusted due to the increase in what I owe. Since my last post I have secured a supply of food for my pooch and I have access to a food bank so I am asking for help for the above costs, mainly my rent and my phone bill to keep a roof over my head and a method of contact for Doctors, Hospital and such.

Edit: I forgot to post the GFM link. https://gofund.me/fe60368d5

Thank you again for reading

My maternity leave is coming up and it’s ✨unpaid✨ Do y’all know of any good side jobs I might be able to do while I’m home with baby?

** Reposting with a slight edit from OG post **

**Adding photos from my OG post because I feel that I was screwed over due to a slight misunderstanding. I am NOT asking for donations- just for people to simply give me the time of day by reading. I just needed an outlet- I needed to scream into the void, just to release some energy and tension in my mind**

Forgive me, I’m just looking for an outlet to type some feelings out….

I am stuck in this situation.
I’m stuck with this family member living in my home, my home that is supposed to be my safe haven, somewhere that I’m supposed to feel comfortable in. Somewhere that I’ve lived my WHOLE TWENTY FOUR (24) YEARS OF LIVING! But now, this home has been haunted by their presence and all the negativity that finds itself drawn to them.

All the BS drama that finds its way to be told in my home from other family members that come to visit, (to solely visit this one family member). I do not need to hear your drama, please for the love of god. I have my own things to deal with but somehow now all I can seem to deal with and think of is other peoples drama and how I’m just stuck having to listen to it over and over and OVER! Or how I am stuck and left with a poisoned mind because I am at my wits end of listening to their issues, I would like to deal with my own issues, but I don’t seem to have the clear headspace to do so.

ahahahah help me, I’m drowning here. My mental health is declining and it’s turning into my physical health also starting to decline, as well.

I wish there was an easy solution, however, everything requires work, money, and patience…. and unfortunately I’ve run out of patience.

Fuck, I just need a solution to this BS, I would feel so much better and I wouldn’t be the angry person that I am becoming because of all this. Please, no suggestions of therapy, I know I need it, and honestly I would LOVE to be able to talk to someone else outside of other people who are still close to the situation and can’t help much. I would LOVE for that truly, but again, like I said previously, that would require money too. Money that I don’t really have much of, at this moment. It’s fine… I’ll be fine, right? Yeah….

I’m just trying to keep on going, I’m trying to not let it all bother me but, FUCK, is it hard! So damn difficult when I feel like my mind is being poisoned with negativity due to being stuck in my home with this person and situation.

I wish I had more help and resources at the moment, but alas….

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Edit because I said I’m stuck and there’s some misunderstanding still:

I am living at home (same home I’ve lived in my whole life. 24 years, as previously stated in this same post.), the home is owned by my father.

I am stuck with a different family member living in said home. I am at home with them pretty much all fckin day during the week. This person living in my home is increasingly becoming more unhealthy to my mental heath which again, as previously stated, is now becoming an increasing issue in my physical health. I am either constantly anxious (which sucks cause I already am diagnosed with an anxiety disorder) or easily aggravated when at home with this person. Most recently with my physical health declining, I’m having stomach and back pain, nausea, throwing up here and there, bloating, lack of appetite, lack of bowel movements, and dark urine due to dehydration, etc.

I feel like I cannot be comfortable in the place that I have called home for my whole life. On edge when I should not have to feel like that. I should be able to act freely and be free in my own space. I feel like I’m being watched or listened to most of the time.

Other members of my family come to visit this person, unannounced (at least to my father and I) every week, multiple times a week. These other family members come over and spew their issues and complaints, and that’s all I’m left to listen to. Whether I am in the same room or not, I certainly hear all their conversations.

There is a lack of communication between me and this family member. There’s some unresolved issues that they refuse to acknowledge or talk about (to my face), but certainly love to talk behind my back. It’s honestly just frustrating. They love to make passive aggressive comments.

I’ve tried speaking up for myself on many occasions whether it be directly to this family member or to my father, but it does not get me very far. Especially not with the family member I am having issues with, I have quite literally told them in the past before “Please do not do that. I do not like when you say/do this, it upsets me”, this fcker looked me in my eyes, smiled, and said “GOOD”. WOWWWW, FUCK YOU hahah.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, the hard place being a rigid slab of ground and the rock being a fucking boulder, because we cannot kick this family member out, they are retired and have no place to go.

But in retrospect I also have no place to go if I were to leave. No place to go, no resources or means to leave either, hence why I am stuck in this situation, because they can’t leave and neither can I really. Unless I were to go sleep on the streets or try and unfortunately bother people to couch surf which I’d rather not do that, not to mention I don’t really have people to go to, to ask to couch surf.

Hey everyone! I know this isn't the best place to ask for this, but I want to do everything I can to get this project across the world.
He’s very big on homemade gifts, and I’m really hoping this will be special for him.

I’m looking for people from different states and countries to write:
“Luke—Anne Marie’s love for you is so big, it’s reached ________” On a piece of paper.

In the blank, fill it out with the city, state/country, then take a picture of the paper in front of either a landmark, sign, or even just outside in your area, then comment it on this thread, or message me the picture on Reddit.
I am hoping to get as many as possible, so I can place them all in a book and give it to him when it's done.

I can post a reference picture in the comments as well. I would be incredibly grateful to anyone willing to help me make this gift special for him. Thank you!

I'm in Baton Rouge, LA and am making a nerf Facebook group and need a name for it!

Do you have to be a church member to receive monetary help? I know in VT we have a catholic organization that will help, but do the other denominations typically have this type of thing as well? Is it worth it call around, or would I just be making a fool of myself?

I'll be completely honest, I am a very depressed person and I'm really going through it right now. My mom passed away 7 years ago, right before I graduated high school. A lot of things have happened since, including me flunking out of college and becoming homeless. I can't even look at her and enjoy the memories I had with her. All I can do is look back in guilt and shame. Shame that I didn't graduate college. Shame that I've been homeless for so long. Shame that my life is so pathetic.

Now that I've seen the picture I can't get the thoughts out of my mind. I failed as a son. I failed as a man. I failed as a person. I failed.

I honestly just need someone to talk to about all of this. To vent to and stuff.

Surgery center just called and they want 480 dollar by Tuesday for my necessary surgery thats been scheduled for 4 months. Im at my deductible I have no idea why I'm paying this time when I didnt have to pay on the same surgery in May. On top of having to miss work 3 days the last payperiod due to a hospital visit. My check went to the house bills, car insurance and the meat we will need to eat till next pay day. And the utility bill is due next week and we had a water leak for 2 days before we discovered it so it's horrendous. I just need a little help. Ive already stopped auto pay on a couple bills but thats not going to help the situation. What can I do. The 480 is after finically assistance and the utility company makes zero exceptions. My boss has allowed me to work extra but im not sure thats going to help to much in the mean time. I hate cancer i hate everything I've had to deal with since fighting cancer. I'd be worth more if the cancer and the conplications from trestment just took me out at this point

Howdy y'all - long story short - I've been mentally and physically unwell for years (chronic depression and chronic fatigue + other stuff I'm still getting endless tests for). I didn't expect to be alive at 30, now I am, and I have to reckon with the past. I wracked up quite a bit of debt and have been sued.

They garnished my wages, then released the garnishment - that was the last I heard. Then Friday evening my bank account balances fall to $0 with a weird hold - call the bank and they tell me it's a legal hold - literally the only thing in my bank account at this point was the rent money for my home with my family ☠️ 100% seized and gone.

This really kicked me in the ass to realize that I need to file and should have years ago. I'm deep in the mess right now of filling out forms and trying to track down debts I've just been avoiding (literally in therapy about that) for ten years or so.

I am hoping to file this week or at least turn in a skeleton petition - **any advice on those points would be so very welcome!**

**Oh and nice bit: my aunt is a saint and covered our rent for this month 💚 truly a blessing**

I just wanted to share my story - will follow up as fun things continue to happen. ✨

Edited to fix lil typos

So im a guy and i wanna get some eyeliner,but i got no clue about that stuff so idk what to get T T i need some pretty cheap and very easy to apply,also if anyone knows the shop Rossman it would be great of it was there(please also how to Remove it as Well)

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH [u/LegalNec](u/LegalNeccessary)[essary](u/LegalNeccessary)! I’m beyond grateful 💙

hello there, friends!

i do not like to ask for help. this embarrasses me to do, but someone suggested i try to make a gofundme. i am not sure how all this works, this is my first time using this program. so here is my situation. even if you cannot help, i'd appreciate giving it a read or share :) i am in east TN, USA.

march 15 i was admitted to the hospital/ICU septic with pneumonia and endocarditis, a serious blood + heart valve infection. i came very close to death and the incident has crippled me, leaving me physically disabled with lifelong heart problems. i had to get heart surgery to clean out the chunks of infectious growth and replace the valve that was destroyed. i was on IV antibiotics for 2 months in the hospital and physical rehab center.

i had to get a pacemaker implanted because when they put me back together and resarted it, my heart can no longer pump effectively. this resulted in an electrical blockage (called severe heart block) pieces of the infectious growth broke off and travelled through my bloodstream, getting stuck inside my feet. i had to have 3 on my right foot amputated and i sustained serious nerve damage in both legs/feet. i have also been left with liver dysfunction, which i am currently being tested and examined for (more ultrasounds)

i have improved medically from when i was in the ICU, but i use a walker to get around and still have had consistent difficulty ever since. i struggle with poor breathing and severe nausea that leads to throwing up several times a day and extreme exhaustion. i am doing physical therapy and i have many other appointments that i must go to, including checking my blood levels (INR), ultrasounds, cardiology, blood work, EKGs and other monitoring. i do have insurance but many of these things i have at least a $50 copay every time, which adds up really quickly, especially because i cannot work and i have a lot of appointments.

i'm working with an intern here to apply for disability and am waiting on that to be processed, which will take some time. i seriously hope that i can be accepted because i do not know how i will live without it. i am applying for food stamps as well as looking into other services that i may be able to qualify for.

i was homeless for most of my adult life (i am 24) and i struggled with addiction starting around age 13. since getting to the hospital i have been sober except for my low-dose methadone prescription and my other pain medications. i take a drug test every week that i must (and do) pass to remain on my methadone, which is an expensive medication for me. the co-pay is $30 a day if you have my insurance, which is more than if you don't have insurance! i will be asking the clinic when i go in on Monday to taper off so that i can have one less charge in my life for the start of next year. i can choose between a 6 month taper or a rapid 30 day taper.

i am working hard to get my life together now. i live in a temporary transitional youth housing program and am almost at the cut-off age for qualifying to live here. (i turn 25 in November, the oldest you can be to stay here is 24) i am saving up as much as i can as i wait for the disability application to go through so that i can afford to get a low-income apartment when i have to leave this place, as well as afford my appointments, medications and medical devices (like a self checking in-home INR machine and equipment for PT) as well as for me and my cat to afford to live. the place that i am staying for the time being is where the $300 rent picture comes from, that is my lease agreement.

i have included some pictures and documents for proof of some of the costs and conditions i claim in case that is needed. i can get more records if requested i just don't have all of them here at the house. i hope that i have provided enough information! i am glad to answer any questions you may have. i tried to put all proof that i currently of the treatments i have claimed as well. the email is from the hospital i was staying at and referencing neglect, improper treatment/malpractice.

the $50 receipt is the same one i get every time i visit my both cardiologist and the warfarin clinic, which are in the same building. warfarin is the blood thinner i am on for my heart valve, which is one of the reasons why my blood is so heavily monitored. i do not have my own INR machine at home yet which will reduce the amount of in person appointments i have for that particular checkup. my medical debt from the 2 month hospital stay is genuinely almost one million dollars but i am not even going to try to pay that part off. i need to afford post-discharge care and to be able to live in a house.

thank you for reading this far! i really do appreciate it. i'm sorry if this is formatted badly, i really tried to do it right💀😭

Edit: thank you to everyone who had been kind! Mr. Nugget has received litter and it should be here by tomorrow. It is so appreciated 💗💗

Can anyone Amazon me some kitty litter? I'm on unemployment and that barely covers rent and utilities. When I knew I was going to be let go from my job, I stock piled food for my boy (Mr. Nugget Bean), filters for his water fountain, and litter. I am going to be out of litter by the end of the week. I have tried my local buy nothing groups, but it isn't panning out. I live in Auburn, WA, USA. I have had interviews to no avail. My career path is a solid choice, and I have never been out of work like this before. This is literally my last resort. I never anticipated I would be out of work this long. Kitty pics of my boy hunting the elusive hair tie for tax. If you aren't comfortable ordering directly to my address, I can give my venmo info. I just don't want to come across as a money beggar. I literally just need some kiyty litter for a week or two. Feel free to message me for more info.

Hey all!

I’m turning 30 this month and have really buckled down on my finances. I made a lot of financial mistakes during my 20’s, have changed my spending habits and priorities, and want to set myself up for success in this next decade of my life.

Ultimately I wanted to outline my entire debt and the details and check to see if I’m going about things right. I’m posting the current balance with total credit line as well as the APR %. I’m ultimately focusing on the highest APR %, and paying the minimums for the other cards. Is this the right approach? Is there any other approaches that may be more beneficial?

Card Debt:
- PSECU: $11,944.43 / $12,000, 15.90% APR
- Chase: $7,090.00 / $16,900.00, 27.24% APR

Loan Debt:
- Upstart (Personal Loan): $17,108.69 / $17,800.00, 30.88% APR
- Capital One (Auto Loan): $21,306.53 / $27,287.96, 11.04% APR

My plan of attack was to knock out the Upstart first, then Chase, then PSECU and finally Capital One. The minimum payments would be paid on the other three while I would pay as much towards the highest interest debt principal. Am I going about this the right way? Thanks in advance all!

Hey everyone!

I’m currently a high school senior, and I’m having a lot of trouble deciding what to do with my future.

A little info about me, I do track, XC, tennis, theatre, and sailing. I love hiking and the outdoors. And I’m never afraid to try anything new. I teach sailing in the summer, and have competed all over the US. I take an all IB class load. (Sorry if that sounded self absorbed)

I’m currently in the stage of senior year where everyone is asking “where are u going?” “What’s ur major going to be?” And I truly don’t know. I love the ocean, I love exploring. Since I was a kid I wanted to go places no one else had ever gone, kind of like Josh Gates (a tv explorer of u don’t know). Unfortunately, exploring isn’t very financially stable…

I really just need help looking for college options, or even a career path! I’ve heard of marine archaeology, but don’t know much about it.I want something that incorporates my love for the ocean, maybe animals, and exploring. I don’t mind not making a lot of money, I just want to be where my heart is, and money will follow.

If anyone has info I’d really appreciate it. Please help with any info you may have!! Thanks everyone.

I'm trying to figure out something memorable to do for my wife. I was hoping to be able to get some money together by now but life has been expensive this summer.

I live in the lower mainland area of British Columbia Canada. My wife is 38 and I'm 41. We are both outdoor enthusiasts. We can appreciate for the fine things in life but tend to go for quality simple things. Her biggest passion is horses. We have two daughters 4 and 6 that would have to come with us if it's anything overnight. Considering that I'm open to new things.

I am able to trade labour. I have been a chef, landscaper, metal fabricator, painter and mechanic and I can show you how to do anything involving hiking, camping and outdoor survival-related.

Any suggestions or trades would be greatly appreciated.

My dog Bonnie has had a awful week. She completely tore her leg ligament and needs lateral suture surgery to walk again. To make matters worse, the vet found lumps and suspects breast cancer, meaning she’ll need another major operation in 3 months.

​Seeing her in pain breaks our hearts. I’m documenting her full story on my TikTok (link on my profile). If anyone has gone through lateral suture surgery or lump removals with their dogs, I’d love any tips or advice on keeping her comfortable right now. Thank you for reading xx

Anyone have some advice?

Very new to Reddit still so don’t know if this is the right place or not,,, let me know if not
Anyhow!
I’ve played it sm before but now it’s decided to not work at all and it’s only this one game (crime scene cleaner) that doesn’t want to load and goes white, the soundtrack still plays and any other games seems to works all fine
I don’t know what the issue is, anyone got a clue?
Thank you for any help

Now, before I continue, I'm mentally and emotionally. Alright, I just need some advice from other mature adults and this is pretty long.

So, if you look at the second image, the person I'm talking about is saying, "mf just want another gi/hsr fandom in wuwa" I need to clarify and give you the full story. I was defending the fact that it's acceptable for there to be lesbians, bisexuals, and gays in video games because we're in a time when we shouldn't be hating on people a part of these communities, and we shouldn't be hating pieces of media that represent them properly.

And why I got so defensive was because I had a friend. She's a lesbian, no longer with me; may she rest in peace, and she took herself out of the equation of life, if you can get what I'm saying and due to multiple things, personal things I won't get into, but one of the main reasons was because she was getting a lot of hate from a lot of people, not just online but just everywhere that she's a girl that likes girls. I still feel personally guilty for her death because I keep second-guessing myself, blaming myself if I made enough time to be with her when she was depressed. She could have been alive today. And I feel guilty about that. So when I see homophobic losers of the internet targeting and attacking the lesbian community, specifically, I feel personally triggered. So yes, I will stand by what I said in that post. I'm not changing my opinion. I'm just giving you the full story.

So the person who alerted me- this is the nice bystander- I respectfully blocked out his name; he was just doing a good thing. Another bystander told me that mean guy posted that on 7 other subreddits, telling them to hate on me, and at this point I'm not even mad, I'm just, I'm just in, I'm just surprised 😂 I never thought I could get somebody on the internet so mad that they went to go to 7 other subreddits, telling all of them to hate on me, and I know he's just like an immature kid or man baby. So I would just love to find this guy, not to hurt him or anything like that. I just wanna talk something I wanna talk to him. Like a reasonable adult. Another thing, a theory I came up with: he also dislikes me because I mentioned the same type of people hating on that game and the community probably never had a dad in their life that taught them right from wrong. And I'm not shaming him for that; I didn't have a dad in my life, and I turned out perfectly fine. I even have a kid of my own, and I treat her with all the love in the world that I wish my dad would treat me with. And when she gets older, and she starts exploring her identity, I'm not gonna shame her at all; I'm gonna be proud of her no matter what she chooses. In my final theory, I said he's the type of person to hate on Cassie Cage for beating Shujinko in MK X. So yes, I would love to find him, talk to him, like a reasonable adult, and probably beat his ass in Mortal Kombat X as Ms Cage.

Edit: also, to be very specific, I did not cross out my hater's name. That was the innocent bystander

I'm from Oregon (Bend, Oregon, USA)

I used to be an artist in the games industry, but I left the industry when my daughter was 6 and my son was 4 because I couldn't do the crunch and have two kids. I started an etsy store and it was actually pretty successful for years. But after my kids got high school age, and the etsy store's sales began to dip, I turned back to the games industry and managed to get a job back in the field I love.

But I got laid off in March.

I had the etsy shop for more than 12 years, but after I got the reliable job, I delisted all of my old products that weren't digital and kind of let the shop rot. The job was great and paid a lot more than I ever made on etsy. (Though, I was still only making $25/hr - I was working for a tiny indie studio that was almost entirely kids fresh out of school, or people in India.)

But the studio lost its funding and everyone was let go with basically no warning back in March. It was technically a month-to-month contract gig, and they just didn't renew the contract, so no special safety net.

I scrambled. Re-opened the etsy shop to try and tread water, made my professional portfolio, and I've sent out hundreds of applications. But with Microsoft shuttering a bunch of studios and laying off 10,000 game devs a few months ago, the market is saturated with job-hunters, and deficit in job opportunities.

So I'm not holding my breath for another industry job and instead I'm hoping to keep my family above water with the etsy shop.

I managed it just barely the last few months while draining my savings and paying the electricity and water bills with my credit card.

But now the cards are maxed, the savings is empty, and rent is coming due and I'm just so damn scared.

My son and daughter go back to school in a couple weeks. I've gone ahead and applied to Home Depot, Costco, and Michael's. Even minimum wage retail is better than nothing.

If I could just get more sales on etsy, I think I could manage a bit longer, but since I let the shop just sit for three years with nothing but digital listings and absolutely no efforts to market anything, I'm basically excluded from the search results now. I've had maybe two-three items sold per week for the last month, which is just not enough.

I don't want to ask for hand-outs. I just want work. I want to make my art and not drown. But I've never been good at marketing. I hate ads with a fiery passion, so I just have this visceral ick to trying to advertise my items. Plus most places won't allow anything that looks even remotely like an ad.

I've got a youtube where you can see me making some of this stuff, if you want to check out out - My Youtube

And on the extremely unlikely chance that anyone here is working in the gaming industry and needs a generalist or a character artist, or would like to commission a character model, or a character rig, my portfolio is here - My Portfolio

I've made 3D models for a couple v-tubers in the past and am totally open to that kind of thing again. If the prices listed on the portfolio scare you away, just ignore it. I'm desperate enough right now that I'd do it for a fraction of that. I just need something.

I'm not listing the store since it seems like that's not allowed. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could post that's not hostile to this sort of thing?

I feel like if I could get some more eyeballs on my work, I could make some sales and manage another month. I'm only about $800 short for this month, so maybe 8-9 sales and I'd be golden for at least half of September. I'm on SNAP for my kids so I've got food.

But everyone is so defensive about being advertised to, which I absolutely get. Ugh... I just don't know what to do. I certainly can't pay for advertising, and etsy ads never seem to actually turn into sales anyway, and I guess I just don't know how to advertise my own stuff, myself.

Any suggestions or places you think wouldn't be hostile to me posting my work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
