Need somewhere to stay and somewhere to go (OK->MN or other friendly state) - Pawb.Social

backstory: Broken critter, 34 Earth-around-Sol-goings old, probably agoraphobic
(as in fear-of-crossing-thresholds, not fear-of-public-spaces) and AuADHD. Stuck
living with “family” but now they’re abusive and near-violent. Called cops on
me, tried to throw me out with nothing miles from the nearest town, threatened
to cut off my Internet access as if keeping me from working out how to leave is
the best way to make me leave. Hatefool logic stuff 🙄, bullies both. This-post
story: Is there anycritter who can
-Pick me up when I figure out where to go and/or give me/point me at a safe
place to stay (am currently in northeastern Oklahoma, outside of a little town
about forty minutes from Tulsa), or
-Help paw-holdguide me through figuring out how to settle in somewhere safer,
even a decent* roommate who can maybe help me find the best places to
go/be/work/eat/live/etc.?, or
-Just straight-up flee somewhere with me and help work stuff out together? Weird
scary idea, sure, but… whatever I guess. Not as scary to me as going it alone, I
think maybe. May be able to help financially, even. Probably ridiculous to even
think any of this but it’s a nice dream to just hop on a bus/plane/silt strider
and piss off with somecritter to greener pastures 🤷 …Presumably flipping every
single bird at where we came from.
If not that, some advice on how much things even cost could be really useful.
What does it cost to move these days? In time and US Dollars, particularly. And
phone calls. Those are terrifying. Anyway Idunno what kind of budget to expect
beyond single, discrete things. $100-350 bus fare to Minneapolis, $150-400 air
fare depending on when. $60ish per night for a cheap hotel room near here, plus
a $100-200(?) deposit I may not get back that apparently isn’t mentioned very
upfrontly. Those I can just look up but getting a full mental picture of like, a
25-hour bus trip including food/drinks, the bus fare itself, stuff I’ve not even
thought of yet…??? I’d prefer to fly if I can, but then maybe I need a hotel
somewhere because of a cancelled flight, and either spend twice as much on the
ticket or have to find somewhere to stay for a bit over two weeks, and cab fare
to get to the hotel if I need one (or more!), and… ugh! PS: Sorry this is all
really weird and maybe creepy. I’m really weird so maybe it’s not unfair to be
upfront about that 😅 but also I’m “a little” unsettled by this mess so I’m just
kinda blurting things out hoping something makes sense and maybe helps :-
*“Decent” in terms of interpersonal respect and whatnot, not like… “not weird”
or something. Certainly not the video game, that’s Descent. Update 27th March,

Just gonna talk to myself for a sec, I guess. Probably nocritter else up at this
hour. 😓 Welcome to my diary! Or rather, you now are my diary. Congrats! It’s an
odd role. So, every day’s a hell of a trip, and not a fun one. Hours of bad
followed by struggle. Just now finally got around to doing some work. Bets on
whether I make it? 🤷 Helps to talk…don’t wanna drag anycritter down 🤷 Bleegh.
Anyway, turns out stuff is big and space for packing stuff is not. Gotta figure
out how much I can handle carting around, maybe see if I can find (and get) my
carry-on luggage-thingle. Easiest just to cram what I can into a backpack and
big-luggage I guess. Already have a couple of each in here. Was using them as
catchalls <.< What goes, what stays… ugh. Very ugh. Triple hyper ugh! And the
checked luggage fees… damn. Hurts being alone, in every way. Chatting
yesterdayish was nice, just sad and quiet now. Am just crying out loud I guess
🤷 Could still really use: 1. Somewhere to stay: for a week or a day (or until
mid-next month when air fare’s better, but who’s wishing for miracles? Oh, it’s
me.) 2. Somewhere to go: could be somecritter’s weird wiggly wroommate 🤷 Else
maybe advice on where to look for an apartment. Idunno if “cheap and walkable”
is a thing that exists but Idunno how the hell I’m gonna be able to get around
🤷 Currently just assuming I’m going to Minneapolis. No freaking clue what to do
after that beyond looking for a box to hide in and snatching up like, a bowl and
something cheap and edible to put into it. … What a ridiculous “princess
experiences real life” movie I’ve got going on here 🤦♀️ Anyone want a weird
ugly pet to take care of 😅 3. Maybe even just some company? At this point even
a voice call sounds great. Fair warning: might just cry the whole time. Am
already doing that, in fact.
4. I still wish somecritter would just come rescue me but I totally didn’t say
that 'cause it’s scary I guess 🤷 😶🌫️
Will even accept cis people! Only asked here because I’m a little bit familiar
around here and can’t bring myself to ask anywhere else. Also, how does one get,
say, a bunch of groceries from a shop to a home without a car to store it in?
Just haul a bag or two at a time, make multiple trips if needed? Seems like
that’d get unwieldy and dangerous really fast, even with like, only two bags but
there are cans in there so they can’t both be in one hand so like… 🙀 Kindof a
shower thought I guess. Still hoping to get one of those today. 💡 Oyeah, maybe
use the rolly luggage thingle. Okay, it’s been like an hour and a half just…
rambling another wall of crap. I hope somecritter can like, study all’ this or
something. Maybe I can play a part in advancing Brokenology (scientific study of
broken things).
