I guess I feel like talking about my life, and I guess this is a better place to do it than other places. So.
I recently fled from emotionally abusive family after I physically retaliated to emotional abuse. What I did was completely unacceptable, and that's part of the reason I left.
Since then I've been staying with a friend I met on Twitter; so Twitter isn't all bad. They've let me stay rent free in the spare room of their house.
I got a job at a grocery store, where they don't give me quite enough hours and the pay is minimum wage, so I'm basically cutting even on my food costs.
After I left my old home, I drifted from places for a little over a month, racking up credit card debt to pay for food. So barely making it by on food now isn't helping me pay off that debt.
I don't know why I'm talking about this; I'm not trying to ask for help, but also I wish I had help?
I wish government aid, disability, food stamps were an option. The latter doesn't seem to be because of my living conditions, but I'd be way to afraid to get a place of my own and then have my food stamps denied or just have them take too long to be approved. It's not a risk worth taking.
So I'm kind of stuck here for now until I figure out... something.
Sigh.
Did I mention I have a college degree? And a load of college debt. That degree has got me literally nothing, and doesn't seem like it ever will.
Okay at this point I'm just whining. Sorry.
