waiting for my world to fall apart. the waiting is the worst part, because it leaves open the hope for a miracle that's never coming...

I know there's no one watching here who has the means, but in desperation of not losing my apt, I'm posting this one more time. If you know anyone who might want to help, please point them in my direction.

$733 for blood tests? Are you freaking kidding me? I literally cannot afford that. Great, now I'm actually screwed financially before the end of the month...

Still don't think I'm going to have enough to pay my rent when it comes due, but I'm not medically challenged or a cute animal, so there's not many out there who would help me with that...

Everything in me is screaming "Don't take this job!" and I'm having to shove it all down and ignore it because I really don't have a choice if they offer it to me...

Interview went well, I think.

Phone interview postponed until tomorrow. D&D postponed until next week. I hope this isn't some sort of portent...

tophhcc.bsky.social @tophhcc.bsky.social · 9d

Video interview tomorrow. Hopefully it means good things quickly.

Phone interview went well, and they want to do a live interview next week. It's not a job I want, but it's a job I need, so if I get it...we'll see what happens.

Even if I find a job this month, I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna make enough to cover rent and bills. I'm panicking.

tophhcc.bsky.social @tophhcc.bsky.social · 14d

Feeling like an abject failure today--more than usual. Especially seeing what some of my peers have accomplished.

I can't decide if I should start packing in the event that I don't find a job in the next couple weeks...

Things are getting desperate, so I thought I'd post this one more time. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Writing my rent check for October, and it's the last of my rent money. One month before disaster.

if it were possible to string two of these part-time jobs together, it might be worthwhile, but the hours always overlap...and everyone wants part-time positions right now...

Grocery store was out of celery. Ah well.

tophhcc.bsky.social @tophhcc.bsky.social · Sep 15

I'm contemplating celery for my meals this week...

tophhcc.bsky.social @tophhcc.bsky.social · Sep 10

Made the mistake of looking at my bank accounts. I'm really going to run out of money by the end of October. (Sooner, maybe, depending on medical bills.) I'm scared.

tophhcc.bsky.social @tophhcc.bsky.social · Sep 9

brb while I figure out how to pay for all of this crap...

tophhcc.bsky.social @tophhcc.bsky.social · Sep 9

So I've got a fatty liver. More medical stuff to ensue, likely, as well as figuring out how to lose weight...great...

And one of my monitors just died. What is going on?

tophhcc.bsky.social @tophhcc.bsky.social · Sep 5

Another fruitless week on the job front. Medical procedure on Tuesday that I don't want to have to pay for. Give me a good week, universe, please!

The number of hoops you have to jump through for financial assistance is ridiculous.

tophhcc.bsky.social @tophhcc.bsky.social · Aug 31

Currently, the worst part about weekends is that no one's posting jobs, and no one's replying to my applications to ask me to interview. It's like this dead space of just waiting. And with a holiday on Monday, that's even more time waiting.

tophhcc.bsky.social @tophhcc.bsky.social · Aug 28

Nothing like getting woken up by a completely pointless phone call. It's gonna be one of those days today...

The realization that I have to start paying student loans again in October is spiking my anxiety...
