I got kicked out of my house because my parents found out that I was questioning (I now think I’m bi). They gave me a couple minutes to gather my things and I was gone.
They blocked me and all of my friends have shunned me.
I later found a job thanks to the generous people here on lemmy who gave me some work clothes that I could interview in. My job starts in a bit over a week.
But holy shjt life is hard. Every single day I think about jumping into a car but now that I’ve resorted to begging for assistance online I feel as though I have to follow through. I feel like a piece of shit.
I only have one functioning arm and people look at me like a deformed freak every single fucking day. I don’t know why I was born bisexual or why I was born with a missing limb. I don’t know why I’m broke or why I always have to dig through the fucking trash to eat chewed up and spoiled food but I’m tired of living this way.
A homeless dude stabbed me in the arm and the police didn’t give a fuck. My work clothes are stained from the blood and sweat of other vagrants. I smell putrid. I feel disgusting. If I went to work in the state I am now I would be fired on the spot.
I’m so tired. I don’t even know how I’m going to scrounge the money to find something to eat. I dont want to eat loke a pig i want a solid meal. I need help People have given me money here on lemmy to get a new arm but I can’t spend that money on food when I need it for my prostgrtics
I fele like a piece of shiti tired to pay back the people who gave me money but they wouldn’t accept it. I’m sorry truly
If you’re in the US, get a gym membership. Access to showers and stuff, relatively cheap.
Talk to business owners that sell food. Some suck but some will help happily if their business is such that they throw away stuff at close (bakeries).
Stop beating yourself up, you’re struggling enough.
You got this.
