Is there a limit on how many images we can submit, or is the goal just to collect as many items off the list as possible?

just got a rejection letter from the store I applied to. It's a freaking retail store; how picky can they be? I have over 3 years experience in retail. Surely that's more than the teenagers they usually hire. I'd love to know what the hell I did wrong, but the letter specified that it wouldn't tell me. Great.

@vengeance: Yeah.. I don't like the idea of being forced to pay for insurance tbh, not that I could live without insurance anyway.

@Monorea: Not really. I've got one or two friends who live far away that I can talk to online most days, but that's pretty much it.

@Totalanimefan: The state of our health care is like something out of a future dystopia novel tbh

@Glume: Jesus, that's awful. Sorry you had to deal with that; the lack of compassion is just gross.

@eliechan: Aye, I'm trying.

Thanks everybody for your replies. I'm back to sending out job applications; guess I'll just have to hope my health gets better instead of worse, 'cause I need the money.

Sometimes it do be like that. I got a bill for something that had happened nearly a year prior not too long ago, too. Ain't it great.

@vengeance: kinda sad that all 3 of those things seem equally impossible ;v; Though the healthcare situation here makes "move to a different country" increasingly appealing...

@Monorea: That sounds really rough, but it's good you have someone to help you handle it all. And yeah, a support network of people you can trust (friends, family, etc) to be there for you, listen and understand what you're going through, and help you out when possible. I think that's absolutely vital for most people, but especially when we have health issues that make life more difficult.

@vengeance: aye, the part that really bothers me is that I can expect to deal with this for the rest of my life. So unless I become rich or healthcare changes drastically, both of which seem very unlikely, I guess I better just get used to big ol' bills every so often.

@Monorea: I'm "fine" for now, at least, but I feel like stress is gonna kill me one day if life doesn't get better. I just don't know what to do about it. I hope you don't end up in the same boat, too! It's not a fun place to be. Best advice to anyone with health problems is to have a good support network.

...just walk it off!
Unless you have a few thousand dollars to spare for an ambulance ride, that is. I sure didn't, but hey, whaddaya gonna do? LOL. Life is great. Guess it's time to stop waiting for my doctors to sort out my fucking health problems and just get back to work regardless, because I can literally no longer afford to not be making money in the meantime. Gotta work yourself to death just so you can pay for the healthcare you'll need when you work yourself to death. Nice.
Seriously, I had to leave my job because stress was causing a disease flare-up that was making me unable to do said job and my medicine was no longer working. After waiting to get put on a new medicine, I had a reaction to said medicine and had to be taken to the ER. The five-minute trip from the infusion center to the hospital cost me nearly $1,200. And as I haven't been working for the past few months while waiting for my symptoms to get under control, I've been hemorrhaging money the entire time. This sure sped up the process, on top of my grandma now deciding to charge me rent--which was the whole reason I was staying with her, because I can't afford rent. BUT THAT'S OK, I'LL BE DEAD IN A FEW YEARS ANYWAY, I GUESS. Then none of it will matter. :^)

@Tuijp: trade updated, thank you

@Tuijp: yeeess I'll send a trade

@Raxton: trade sent, sorry for the wait!

@Vii: trade accepted, thanks!

i donated recently 'cause I still had some money saved in my Paypal balance, but that was the last of my "spending money" until I find a way to make some more.

I had to leave my last job due to symptoms flaring up and missing too many days; by the time I got through the paperwork to get medical leave, I would have probably missed another day and been fired, so I put in my two weeks' notice and scraped by. It's been a few months now. Was starting to feel better and got put on a new medicine very recently. But at my last infusion, I had some sort of reaction and they stopped the infusion, so I didn't get that dose and now I have to wait until tomorrow to call my doctor and find out what they want to do from here. I really just want to get on with my life and find a new job, but I'm afraid to even start sending applications now that my symptoms are coming back again. I have no idea how much longer it will be before things go back to normal, or what I'm supposed to do to get by in the meantime. I'm running out of money fast, but my condition doesn't qualify me for Disability payments, and even if I could eventually get it, I'd need to work in the meantime just to cover the months of waiting without any income... idk what to do. No energy at all, I get faint just standing up sometimes, and I'm scared of ending up back in the hospital. I wish there were jobs I could do from home that didn't require special computer equipment or skills I don't have...
