My room mates and I are struggling financially, and while there's employment in the works, Zie hasn't gotten xir first check yet...and the electric bill is like...super late. :( ... Just blurg, and it worries us (Us being SPCFolks)

We're headed to Indiana for October (mpost of it anyway) and...like the family doesn'tt know, and the best friend isn't comfortable with us outting ourselves to her on a whim, and we're so used to not hiding that it's just like *anxiety already super high) and...like someon to talk to who isn't them and is okay with random anxious people-poppouts would be amazing because while we usually don't switch from anxiety...I'm not sure that would *not* happen now. Like...so used to not hiding. >.>

Mom stress is a thing, too, I'm wilful, more so now than I was living at her house, and healthy boundaries are becoming a good thing for me, and I just...the concern that she'll violate them is kind of a thing, too, and I don't want my family saying "Oh she's doing it out of love' bull shit because some of the shit she does out of love...just isn't okay. And apparently never has been, which I didn't know yuntil recently. *sighs*

The only bright spot is the package I got today with a weighted bla nket and some snacky/soap/smell good goodies. I have amazing friends, and packages truly are life for me right now. *lurved* :)

Boundaries are good.

I just hope they're respected. Most of the time they don't get that, and everything just gets awkward, you know?

Have an exit strategy prepared. A little exit for little things and a big exit if it all goes wrong. This is a time for you to protect you (and yours) and not to worry about what anyone else wants / thinks.

Have a 'code' word either of you can use for "get me out of here" so you can be prepared to help each other.

Hopefully, you won't need it, but you'll feel better if you're prepared.

We're here for moral support... don't hesitate to reach out.

[we_are_spc]

... Do you have other ways of contact?

I mean sure there's DW-PM, but like a What'sApp/Skype/something else? (we're not on Telegram yet, but we could be persuaded, and there is also Zello which we also have.)

Because...moral support would be awesome.

As for code words, my best friend is blind, so she wouldn't be able to help much. Internally? ... Well now, that might work, especially since we wouldn't even have to say the word (or words) out loud...

Oh, sorry, but I was kinda using 'we' as the group 'we'... while I certainly will be around, I'm not online 24/7 and may not be able to help you in a timely manner.

I would think the group here would be the most efficient way to look for moral support and/or help as you need it...

[we_are_spc]

Ha, my fault. xd

So far as that goes...Yeah, I might need the poles again just to gage how I'm doing. Most days I can do my own internal track, but lately it's been...breaking down a beat.

had a *fabulous* panic attack last night for about an hour, and then shitty sleep for several hours afterwards thanks to lingering effects of the attack, so today has been ... not good. Bed soon, I think, and hope that tomorrow goes better.
