lost a squat that me, my partner & a friend were staying at cause someone called the cops. THEN had the cops called on me for legally parking at my friends house in a ~nice neighborhood~ -- the cop put his hand on his gun and be intimidating cause im autistic. the cop only left once my partner showed up and completely changed his demeanor lol
(9/8) my partner got a rotten tooth pulled and we got donated money to have an airbnb for their recovery, we got to take a really nice bath together in a huge tub (even though the power went out cause of the fires), and we've been able to eat together sometimes which we werent able to do when i couldnt eat any food recently. started watching rick n morty.
(9/9) at a diff airbnb now, had some testing done to see what was wrong w my stomach n then i helped my partner thru a seizure. im stressed out
(9/12) crashing at a friend's friend's house to get out of the smoke. i keep having bad asthma and feeling really out of it. my stomachs been hurting rly bad


10/6 was my birthday! i turned 27 in baker city oregon trying to drive across the country to ohio. on the 7th my partner was hospitalized and had to go to the ER by ambulance. we got a place ticket for the 11th to go to ohio to crash with my partner's friends so we can rest and try and recover from being homeless once we realized we were too sick to drive


in ohio now, trying to find somewhere to live since the situation here feels toxic and tense. also trying to set up doing a fundraiser to raise money and then continuously get money donated to us

hi, im vess.

i'm currently homeless in oregon and dont have internet regularly!
i'm in ohio right now, still technically homeless, but crashing at someones house! i really like having people to talk to when i'm able to be online, so i'm hoping to use this as a way to keep people updated w/ whats going on with me and to just kinda have conversations every now and then.

feel free to chat! i'm pretty chill even though i'm constantly goin thru rough times

rules:
just dont start sounding like a fascist or like yr fascist adjacent and we're probably good

i also was harassed by a cop recently and as like a very obvious disabled autistic queer person it was really fckin scary
like he had his hand near his gun and everything and only left once my partner showed up
like he changed his demeanor completely bcus my partner seemed confident and i seemed """unhinged""""

im really struggling
the amount of stress on my mind and body is really bad for me


everytime we're in a store i think about drinking, like when walking down wine aisles etc. i know i cant have any of it without getting horribly sick but part of me is like just wanting SOMETHING. i cant have alcohol i cant have opiates i cant have stimulants and i cant have a n y t h i n g. weed barely helps my pain at all and my brain is just. fckin goin FAST and im constantly in work & trauma mode. i can rly see why so many houseless folk cant get off of drugs - the physical & emotional pain is intense and ive barely even gone thru the hard shit of it

ive been clean from self-harm for about two years now but everytime i get stressed out and start having an autism melt down its the first thing my brain goes to. its getting really scary the images i get in my head and the craving


i've also still been in horrible pain - i cant keep up with my meds and i cant keep up with my HRT. the most i can do is try and eat and sleep and get to where we need to go
and the state is on fire and i'm right near where both of my parents live and aaaaaaaaaaaa im screaming

idk what to do for self care anymore either. we're at the cheapest airbnb we could find because of how hot it is and all the smoke is bad for my asthma so i have internet rn at least but i cant focus on anything long enough to relax
