I think probably I should write this in another channel, but perhaps it'll help someone to read. Last year I was diagnosed with a cancer. I spend 5 months, every other week, in a bed literally dying of the "cure" from the thing killing me - myself. I recovered only to take a trip across the country and live homeless in a tent for 4 months the following summer of 2023. Initially there were suppose to be fire calls and I gave myself away to contribute hours and physical labor. The most excruciating physical labor I've ever endored. Turns out though, we really didn't have any calls and so I eventually turned tail and came back to seek out my old job. The job I had worked for a few years and aquired friends through. This job was no lomger available though, because the entire place was flooded under water. I lost my savings, my job and barely was making a recovery in my health. That wasn't enough though because a few short months later the people I've been staying with got an eviction notice. My family and their residency of 12 years is being sold out from underneath them. At the end of December a new location is required to move to. Just this past week I was told that I would likely owe a $9,600 medical bill for CT Scans on my upper body - The potential One Year Celebration to being cancer free. This is my life. Craziest it has ever been. The morale isn't to sit here and compare stories, as we certainly can, but instead to realize that as all this is happening: I'm remaining pretty positive and hoping/wishing for the best. The attitude I have is more ironic now than ever. I'm staying rather optimistic and determined to overcome. So, if I can do this - you can do what you're doing, alright?

Your strength and positivity are inspiring. I found out that I had severe heart failure in mid July, Tuesday of next week I will officially be put on the transplant list in the third or second to highest need status. I too have been doing my best to be positive every day as well. It is hard to find out that you are going to be either of our situation. Also my childhood hero was a homeless military vet when I first met him, so that is nothing to be ashamed of. Wear your cape of scars proudly, you have earned it hero

I'm done...

I'm just done woth people.. Tired of people being fake to me, I don't tolerate one bit honestly.. People just use me for my kindness, and quite frankly, society is built on a mask. No wonder I'm so depressed. But it's whatever, I'm done.. I rather just dissappear for a while, which I'll do..

I wake up, sometimes I will eat but my body urges me to go lay back down as there is nothing exciting going on in my life, so I follow the voice and I try to go to the back of my mind and pull something out that will give me motivation, but I’m so trapped in the void that I end up succumbing to it,... read more

Not sure I can ever get used to being not enough for love.

Watching interest come and go with a little bit more of a dejected heart from rejection and no reciprocated interest. It only gets harder the more time I spend alone and not being enough for anyone to love.

I wished anyone cared.

I've thought about it all more times in the last week than I had my entire life. Noones there, no one actually cares.

He has been the best treatment for me. It’s not magic but there is a special sensitivity they have. Also, forces me to go out and be more active ❤️🐶

Having a rough night

Not much else to say but I'm just having a rough night. I just want to be held by a sweet and caring woman, cry in their arms, and have them tell me it'll be ok and I deserve to be happy and that it'll be ok 😥😓

Pain in my eyes

I saw this morning they were reddish under my eyes. Likely from crying my heart out. There's still so much pain and sorrow when I look in the mirror. I wish nothing more than to pass on...

How do you cope with insomnia?

Since I got trauma, even though I drunk a lot and had fun with friends, I come back to my home my brain still AWAKE. can’t just fall asleep. I need a button to shut down my brain. I take pill, but I still can’t stop thinking.
