Hi, i just came back after a couple years and this seems like a good hangout for me. I'm mentally ill, chronically ill and immuno-compromised so Covid has really messed with my life. I've lost a couple loved ones and live in what is currently considered the "epicenter" of Covid-19. I'm alone & scared. Would love a place to feel normal.

how has returning to the site been for you so far?
i'm really sorry to hear that, and for your loss <3
it sounds really difficult and it completely makes sense you would feel scared, especially as an immunocompromised person <3
may i ask what city/region you're in?

@xvz: being homeless has been pretty rough tbh but i'm thankful i get to sleep in a van at least - i was at the ER the other night, and me and my partner have both been super sick/in pain. our friend got us an airbnb for two nights though! and this week our other friend is gonna finish building out our van for us :')
@Ghostie: we're here for you i hope something comes along ur way that helps you feel more at ease or comforted

@xvz: she's paneling it, making us a little kitchen, setting up solar panels. its gonna be pretty livable which will b gr8 for me and my partner... we're thinkin of taking it out rurally if we can find somewhere close enough to a walmart or something
we've been asking a lot of people for help this year n made like a gofundme, n keep posting on diff social media to try and get connects. its been really amazing the amount of people who just wanna help out two queer disabled indigenous ppl for nothing in return so i have hope its just gonna continue u__u

my friend biked over for dinner today :0
cases have been low in my city for months so i'm trying to convince myself it's ok to see ppl more!
feels kind of weird bc i know elsewhere everyone is like wishing ppl would stay home more, but i've been fairly isolated this year and i think maybe unnecessarily strict about it considering the situation where i am?

"Don't ask your questions to the wall..."
I'm the same way - not like I have... IRL friends who live near me, but I've been avoiding going out unless absolutely necessary (grocery shopping mostly). The last time I actually went out to do something other than grocery shopping was a grocery shopping trip that turned into a take-out sushi birthday dinner >w>;;
I don't mind not seeing people in person, since I can always chat with my best friend over Discord n stuff - plus we try to hang out via watching stuff together. The downside of the entire isolation thing is, I'm starting to miss stuff like sitting in a restaurant to have a meal with my grandpa... or really just, experiencing things in person instead of through digital imitations.

i meant SSI* in my last post
also this house has been empty for 20 years and some old lady named Penny is hoarding it, and there's a property manager who comes by sometimes and also someone comes and mows the grass
the neighbor snitched on us to the guy who mows and she's trying to get a hold of the property manager lmfao but another one of the neighbors is chill

disability rights are so important and i am HERE for wholesome uplifting pro-human rights content
i'm physically disabled due to repeated joint injuries and early-onset arthritis in my back, and i have severe mental illness so "working for a living" doesn't exactly 'work' for me. Between the two I can't find or keep a job.
also ER doctors are very bad at dealing with people who have 'underlying conditions' and aren't just yknow, broken bones or blood sugar being out of wack
