CPTSD life is getting up, taking your meds, happily cleaning the bathroom listening to music. Full of joy.

Then while scrubbing the back of the bathroom door, the landlords shoddy work had left an exposed piece of metal under a towel hook.

I sliced my thumb open because I assumed that the top hook I could see was mounted properly, so the bottom one must be also.

After tending to the wound, the adrenaline spike and resulting internal feelings had to be calmed.

Which means I had to stop cleaning and go meditate in a dark room because my brain will not calm down unless I remove all stimulus that may be a threat.

My locus coeruleus is scarred. It doesn't work properly. I don't handle surprises well. Trying to teach my brain that not everything is an immediate "flight, fight or fuck" response is an ongoing process.

I think I am most sad because I was feeling cute, but it's really hard to feel cute when your brain is screaming at you that you are under attack and that you need to fight inanimate objects.

My city passed a $50 cap on administrative fees for rentals last year, so now I have a new hobby: Reporting scummy landlords who try and put up to $500 fees in their house listings.

Yup... reviews that contain "oh the landlord is so helpful btw!" and "the property manager made my lease here so good!" definitely don't sound like fake reviews written by land lords.

I’m trying not to panic, but we have less than two days to raise $220 for a past scummy landlord (#FuckLandlords ) who is decking us with repairs for damages that were there when we initially moved in, and less than three days until my birthday, and we might be stuck outside tomorrow because we have nothing towards extending our motel room.

Please help us not lose our car, the Nissan Leaf we use for so many things!

Our insurance payment is overdue. So is the car loan. If we don't pay up soon, the police or a repo company will impound it sooner or later.

#Mutualaid we need $145 plus fees unknown for insurance.
We need $275 for the car loan. ASAP.

Please help!

realized that my electrical bill was too high, started a process of elimination, discovered that my landlord is stealing my electricity to power some of his basement using my bedroom circuit.
