I'm chronically ill and I lost my job a few months ago, the one thing I told myself after escaping poverty so bad it almost led to me and my family starving was to never get in that situation again.
I moved and I hate financially relying on my roommate, it feels horrible, I've always hated having to rely on others for money especially since I was the main earner for my family, I supported both my mom and brother. Anyway, I have put in so many applications it's insane, every spot I possibly could I've put an application in for, it's either silence or a no.
So, with my mental health also in a horrible place I can't handle also being a burden.
Sometimes when I walk outside men ask me what I cost, you know, like they think I'm a prostitute and I wish I could say I haven't considered it because of the situation I'm in. It seems like easy money, but also I could be murdered or get given some disease and I don't have health insurance.
But also..money, and maybe good money. I won't, but it is a genuine mental debate for me, I'm already in debt at 20, on cashapp just under 100 and medical debt which.. Jesus I'm scared to know the full total I owe.
I wish I could say I don't spend my days other than trying to get a job and get my GED thinking about how to get money, and most of it means losing what little dignity I have left, or killing myself. Honestly I've been wanting to do that anyway, that way I'm not a financial burden and I don't have to suffer with medical issues or anything. Not my first time attempting, I'm becoming more ok with it being my last.
Recently to.. stabilize my mental health I did relapse with sh, so I'm less of a mental burden, it calms me down, you know? I stopped eating as much, and I don't ask to go get groceries anymore, I've lost weight but I prefer to lose weight than be a waste of money and space.
Anyway, so I confess, if I get any mentally worse and stay broke I might turn to prostitution, I don't really care much about myself anymore anyway. I also just might give up all together.
I just feel really alone and lost, I feel horrible about my existence.
