ME, MY DISABLED PARTNER, AND OUR PETS ARE GOING TO DIE IF PEOPLE DO NOT START MAKING IMMEDIATE MEANINGFUL EFFORTS TO HELP US.

We need immediate emergency relief. But everyone pretends I don't Exist.

I am so. Tired. Of writing these posts. They never go anywhere. They never do any good. People never seem to care.

I have stopped writing posts because I am always too sick, now. I am too sick to get out of bed and I AM ACTIVELY DYING.

I LITERALLY HAVE SKIN CANCER AND A HERNIATED DISC IN MY NECK CAUSING SEIZURES AND THREATENING TO LEAVE ME PARALYZED AND I CANNOT EVEN GET PEOPLE TO DONATE ENOUGH TO FEED MYSELF OR AFFORD MY MEDICATION MUCH LESS GO TO THE DOCTOR OR PURSUE TREATMENT

I haven't been able to afford my medication since NOVEMBER and nobody cares except for 1 or 2 people who can only afford 20 here & there which doesn't cover my $1500.00/month medication & I am at the point of risking Death every single day.

I have done LITERALLY EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO HELP MYSELF AND IT ISN'T ENOUGH. Texas holds EVERY BAR deliberately out of reach of the disabled, trans, and mentally ill-- and I fall into every single category. I am fully disabled, handicapped, autistic, trans with suicidal dysphoria-- and I had my gender affirming care ~ripped away~, and own a uterus which is basically a death sentence in this state, now. The system is completely backed up, has been since Covid, all applications have been on hold for basically 3 years, now. And, yeah. People decided to Kill me.

PEOPLE ARE BEING STOLEN OFF THE STREETS, HERE.

But no one can seem to handle caring, reblogging my posts, offering advice that actually applies to my circumstances (most people spout some highly ignorant 'got mine' bullshit when I have clearly stated that I have already sought every possible government means and was basically told 'hurry up and die already'), or making an effort to proactively help me SEEK HELP from others.

I was thrown on the streets to die homeless in winter. I am HOMELESS, bouncing from place to place, and I have run out of places to bounce. I have NOWHERE to go. I have NO FRIENDS. I have NO FAMILY. I have NO support group. I have NO insurance. I have NO doctors. Yet

all people do is scroll.

Please. HELP ME.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW ABJECTLY TERRIFYING IT IS KNOWING THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE MONEY FOR CANCER TREATMENT RARELY SURVIVE BUT YOU DON'T EVEN GET TO START TREATMENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS, FAMILY, SUPPORT GROUP, TRANSPORTATION, INSURANCE, OR MONEY???!?!

If you have ever liked a piece of art I've made, or a meme, or a video, or a stream, why do I not deserve to live????? Do you literally think I deserve to DIE-- literally DIE-- because I am disabled??? Because that is PRECISELY what my ableist & transphobic ex-friends & family have decided, and they are getting away with it. Why.............???

insurance makes sense on a conceptual level but in reality insurance companies turn decently huge profits by a) relying on things not happening, which they mostly don't b) ensuring things mostly don't happen by exluding anything that might make "things happening" more likely and stacking it in their favour and then c) finding any excuse and loophole possible to not cover you if anything ever does happen

like. insurance would be good if it wasn't managed by insurance companies

#insurance is quite literally a bet #the company is betting that nothing will happen to you (or your house/car/stuff/pet)#except it's a very one-sided bet because you give them money either way and they're cheating about it #not having insurance is ALSO a bet #except YOU'RE betting nothing will happen to you #on the basis that (by keeping money in savings instead) you could reasonaby afford it if it did #rather than give that money to someone else and trusting that the thing which might happen IS something they will have to pay for #and can't wriggle out of #(obv american health insurance is an outlier and should not be counted you will always need medical care of some kind and all of it is so #expensive you guys are just so fucked i'm sorry)#insurance companies would still ultimately profit even if they paid out without whining and even if they covered the slightly more likely #bc the chance of it NOT happening is still greater than it happening & across all their clients Not Being Giant Cunts wouldnt bankrupt them #but here we are #something something capitalism

I have the physical need to meme...

#digital art #fanart #youjo senki #the saga of tanya the evil #tanya von degurechaff #wilibald koenig #she does the soldiers exams herself when the medic can't come?#even if it's her day off #that's not a major that's a mayor #if you know you know #i hc tanya's a bit of a hipocondriac #especially when it comes to the health of her battalion #she can't afford to lose someone to sickness #or stupid shit like that

it is kind of. insane. that Izzie Stevens donated almost nine million dollars to the hospital she worked at to start a free clinic there. and then when she got cancer while being an employee at that hospital. she still ended up in 200,000 dollars in debt.

#her friends operating on her in the hospital she works that she also donated an insane amount of money towards providing options for people #in positions where they can't afford money and yet #though also her disappearing on alex is the way she did. beyond fucked up. ironic he did the same thing to his the next woman he fell in lo #with to get back together with her (bad decision) lol but they had to write him off somehow #also I'm sure the izzie thing gets solved via the clinic or pro bono or something i don't remember #it's just about the PRINCIPLE of it in the first place. come on.#greys #greys anatomy #incoherents #i think if you work for a hospital and then need medical treatment there the hospital insurance should cover all of it <3 my simple opinion #well also I think everyone should always have free access to good healthcare. but this is next level ridiculous. come on

💀 My pain doctor, who said we could keep upping my *meds for chronic pain* until my chronic pain was “manageable enough to live”, just told me “actually we’re staying at this rate, I won’t go up anymore.”

I CAN’T EVEN STAND TO TAKE A SHOWER. Motherfucker, I could barely walk to the BATHROOM with a CANE and assistance the other day for DAYS. IN WHAT WORLD IS THIS MANAGEABLE. Now, I’ve gotta get on the phone and actually TALK to her! What the FUCK.

There shouldn’t be a “syke” moment in my life with all my doctors! If this woman does not become serious, I swear...She said we could keep upping it and she apparently LIED? The hell. I hate doctors, fr, I’m not even sorry, jesus fuck.

Send me asks, my brain is garbage tonight.

#sometimes i feel like a failure at everything i have tried or wanted #but like #years of working on this have reduced that feeling a lot #now i correctly attribute that misery to living in a country that actively wants me to die because I am disabled/trans/fat/neurodivergent #and in a way that's so much worse because i could always push myself to succeed or change even if that was futile #but this place ain't gonna change enough to save me and i'll always need to beg for help #so i'm like trapped? knowing i have value that will never be seen clearly enough to be safe and it makes me...tired #i just surf from incident to incident without much good stuff in between and sometimes it feels...not pointless...i do like being alive...#but it feels like i have all this stuff to offer the world and no way to do it because i'm too crushed down to do much of anything #i can't even always safely access effective medications #or afford to move out of this place #idk i know this is depressing i just #we had to buy clothes for boyfriend's new job and now i don't think we can afford to buy meds that are not covered by insurance #and i am tired of ending up here every single month #i deserve better we all deserve better

I just realized that I've been putting too much on my plate lately and instead of getting some of that shit done all I end up with is feeling sick every week and things keep accumulating and I stress myself ten times more and I end up doing nothing, reading something to distract myself of the fucking titanic quest I put my ass on

#i want to graduate so fucking much but i need to take so many finals for that and i need a good job because i can't afford my almost 200k #meds without a good medical insurance and i need to take as many finals i can while i have this more chill job but I'm taking 2 classes that #just require time but i also have to deal with it's deadlines and i have 2 investigation projects going on and i want to make a paper with #my friend and it would fit so perfectly with the Complutense meeting we want to be part of but it's deadline is the day after my final so i #have to give it a shape before that so our professor can gave it a look and tell us if it's ok BUT I'm feeling like shit and I'm on bed s #since yesterday because my ovary might have some cyst going on and it's painful like shit but my lab it's going to be ready next monday #so i have to wait until then and i need to call my insurance to talk about money because the only gynecologist who treat me like a human #doesn't work with my insurance anymore so i have to pay for her but i want to know how much they'll cover and then i have to make an #appointment with her AND I also feel tired and have slight fever that comes and goes and i might have some autoimmune shit going on too #and those lab are ready for the 16 and I've been calling all afternoon to make another tests but no one does it and i should be studying and #reading for the paper #and my room looks like a storm broke in and i need to clean it so i can use my fucking desk to study‚ read and search for fucking jobs #I'm at my fucking limit #not to mention how i go onboard of any project or volunteer work i come across #chronicles of Yu's life

The urge to buy a cheaper recliner on amazon beckons me

#wrenfea.exe #i hate amazon but unfortunately its all i can usually afford #I refuse to buy polyester or synthetic chairs so that's 90% of whats on amazon #haven't been able to find one that is actually cloth though #i don't want leather either bc it sticks to my thighs #i cant stop thinking about the $1400 chair at lazy boy hhh #but with medical bills I can't risk such a big purchase #if anyone has any recliner reccs...lmk #chronic disability #chronic pain #spoonie #fibromyalgia #disability #degenerative disc disease

Ah, if it isn’t the bitter reality of my past catching-up to me!

“My past” in this case being my absolute disinterest in the “normal” television shows that captivated my peers growing-up, so that I now have absolutely no idea how to start writing a scene set in a hospital because I never watched a single one of those ER-dramas. Fuck-dammit.

#writing problems #how do i write the starting days of a zombie apocalypse #set in a magical elf hospital #when i don't know ANYTHING ABOUT HOSPITALS AHHHH #or medical care at all tbh!#i have been fortunate enough to be relatively healthy all my life #and unfortunate enough to live in the trashfire hellscape of america where you can't afford to see a doctor anyway #so i don't know what the fuck to do with this scene godsdammit #i feel like sauron #i have a really fun idea i want to do but i just ran face-first into a descendant of melian #and now i have jackety-fuck-all #seriously if anyone has any tips or suggestions or recs for fics or things to read to help please don't hesitate to share #because i am spinning my wheels like whoah and it's soooo frustrating #fuuuuuuck #me #lotr zombie au

Lmao my job is fully saying "you can pay 300 dollars a month to have WORSE insurance than you're getting through the marketplace for being poor. Sign up today!" and anyway I checked the marketplace income requirements and instead I could just pay $100/month for the insurance I already have (for $1/month currently). Like yeah I'll be stuck in an HMO but I'm pretty used to that and I've made it work for me this long.

#Current insurance: yeah your medications are a flat 10 bucks #Maybe 20 if they're real special #Work insurance: you pay 20% of the sticker price!#Bitch I'm on focalin that shit comes out to multiple hundreds of dollars #I can't believe employers have the gall to offer insurance they don't pay you enough to afford #And they're proud of it #Chronic-les

my life is naught but a cycle of *hopes that's nothing* *hopes that's nothing* *hopes that'll go away on its own* *hopes that's nothing* *hopes that nothing will come of that for a long time* *hopes that's n

#personal #like one of my ongoing concerns is some tooth stuff I should probably see a dentist about #some back and hand stuff that would probably be improved by less time in the desk chair and more time doin stretches #but the one of the past half hour is uh #slightly gross so feel free not to read. like this is just a vent post really #but I felt a lump in uhhhh a sensitive area #one that I don't think is a standard area of acne for most people? not that I've discussed it w people but #it is an area I've gotten acne in for sure #but it felt. uh. a lil different ig #it burst kinda like a pimple. but I'm paranoid #not only bc it was big and in a weird area #but also bc now I'm feeling lightheaded on and off #could be unrelated. just seems weird that i only started feeling faint after bursting that thang and like #even if they're unrelated and being faint will pass. I still feel a mass under there #god I hope it's just acne brewing #I'm already behind on work just on account of being fucking incapable of doing anything but Fuck All #can't really afford a medical issue rn #I mean in a financial sense I can afford it it's fine we got the nhs #it's just that I do not know how to book doctor's appointment and I'm living w my parents #so I'd have to tell them about it and aaaaaaaahhhhhh #so it had damn well better go away #be nothing. or else 👊#my body shouldn't play these games of chicken with me I'll let us die to avoid being an inconvenience motherfucker #update from like an hour or two later: it's already starting to go away. the power of Not Worrying About It

making my gfs roommate a sim so i can kill her slowly in a healthy and acceptable way :)))))

#shes a fucking menace and i actually hate her #i hope someone slashes her tires and breaks out her windows so she can't afford to live with my gf anymore #i hope the finger she cut horribly the other day and refused to see a doctor about goes necrotic and she has too much medical debt #i hope someone throws all her shit out on the lawn and it gets infested with wasps #i hope she says one fucking word to me next time i see her so i can deck the bitch :))))))))))#my blood pressure is so high rn fr y'all #she is THE definition of a psychic vampire #and one of the most toxic people i've ever met in my life #and i don't normally care enough about people or things to hate them #but i fucking HATE her #ABHOR her even #and there's no legal way they can kick her out so i'm gonna do my best #to make her life a living hell #until she can't stand living there anymore #i am not normally this kind of person but she brings out the absolute worst in me #person #sorry for the rant #if i didn't rant here i'd end up tracking down her phone number and signing her up for so many things that her phone becomes inoperable

you may have noticed already but i'm taking a small pause from making art because my brain and body are being very unsupportive 😔

#i can't afford a medical appointment for my health problems and mental health is suffering too #i know this is something silly to apologise for because realistically speaking it's something that happens and it's kinda out of my control #but still sorry 👉👈#on the side i feel super silly because i got a new tablet and i can't use it my hands are so evil #notes of a countryside dandy
