Topic | Realistically, if I wanted to run away from home... |
Super_Slash 04/17/25 5:12:30 AM #31 | ItsNotA2Mer posted... I don't know that it's fair to label the TC as a "professional victim". When someone has serious depression, (which it sounds like the TC definitely does), tasks that may seem easy or trivial to someone else can be absolutely monumental, or seem impossible, for them.Yes I am definitely at that point. I already said I spend a lot of time sleeping over the last couple weeks. My life's over until something changes, but making those changes feels like I'm climbing Mt Everest. Even the first step is like a steep cliff. |

Super_Slash 04/17/25 4:56:48 AM #29 | I also plan to call that 211 number tomorrow. Plan to, but if I'm thrown around 400 different directions right after I wake up, getting that energy is gonna be a struggle. But I think I can do it. |

Super_Slash 04/17/25 4:54:44 AM #28 | ItsNotA2Mer posted... I'm sure I'll get piled on for this, but I'm going to give you some tough love here.It's not that the resources don't help, it's that the ones I have mostly full control over don't actually do much to help my specific situation. Food is needed on a day to day basis, and I do take advantage of food banks when I can. The ones that have the potential to turn my life around I can't get my brother to actually cooperate on in a reasonable way. For example he'd probably want to uber to and from all of those hospitals instead of taking the longer route (busses) for half of them. He wants the shortcutted route through life, and when he can't get that, he usually just stops trying. splodeymissile posted... It's not just him. There's a lot of people on this board who don't actually want advice, but instead want to milk whatever disaster they're going through. The fact that he's made at least 3 topics on the exact same subject in the past couple of days tells me he's more interested in getting attention than actually finding a workable solution.Aside from occasionally being given financial help, I realize there's nothing CE can really do beyond what they've already done. You don't realize I'm treading very dangerous waters. My life is basically on the line now. |

Super_Slash 04/17/25 3:49:13 AM #24 | Mistere_Man posted... Apparently a lot of people recommend calling something called Unity as it is a non profit that works with many different homeless help groups so they can help figure out the best aid for different situations.I'm gonna try the first one. Another bad day coming. Gotta come up with even more money I don't have. It piles up and up. Can't breathe. I don't have money to get by on a daily basis and everything around me is falling apart. |

Super_Slash 04/16/25 9:56:24 AM #19 | HudGard posted... If you can get to a notary or have one come to you, would your brother sign a POA? Would help with the record collection and other things I imagine.I'm not sure what a POA is but I do know where a notary is. It sounds like something he would do. Getting there might be a problem now though. |
Topic | Realistically, if I wanted to run away from home... |
Super_Slash 04/16/25 9:55:48 AM #18 | Okay so I have like 10 minutes of lucidity in me right now. I know being homeless is awful. I'm trying to avoid that scenario as much as possible. I just don't know what to do, there's no safe way out of my situation. I've lost nearly every component of who I am and I can barely manage to play a video game these days. I spend a fair bit of my free time laying in bed sleeping lately. I also barely eat because I just can't be bothered. |

Super_Slash 04/16/25 9:36:33 AM #15 | ai123 posted... Except in extreme situations, such as a real risk of physical/mental harm, making yourself homeless is going to be a lot worse than whatever your current situation is.Idk man, I'm being mentally mind fucked every single day over here. It is chaotic and it's never gonna work out. I'm essentially fighting a losing battle in every way possible is how I see it. |

Super_Slash 04/16/25 4:46:01 AM #3 | Rai_Jin posted... dude have you tried everything to get your brother on disability?That is also a nightmarish mess. He is completely unmotivated to do anything; we have to get all of his medical records from all the mental facilities he's been to, which requires going up to each one in person. Without a car that's really difficult. Getting him to go anywhere for even ONE day is like pulling teeth, then he basically spends a week or two recovering from the trip. |
Topic | Realistically, if I wanted to run away from home... |
Super_Slash 04/16/25 4:41:30 AM #1 | Is it even feasible? I wouldn't leave my brother behind which complicates things. At this point, running might really be my only option. Like what would I do, just wander the streets and hope for good luck? |
Topic | What keeps you going every day? |
Super_Slash 04/16/25 4:19:33 AM #1 | I am losing my sanity if I haven't done so already. My life is one giant prison Not a single inch of me wants to be here. I don't think I even get more than two minutes of lucidity per week. Everything seems so far out of reach and impossible to grasp. What keeps you going? Why should I still bother? I can't escape my living situation any time soon. It's over. =/ |
Topic | Does everything feel fake and hollow to you? |
Super_Slash 04/15/25 9:31:47 AM #11 | They are technically not my parents but my aunt and grandmother. They did raise me. Life was so much simpler back then. My brother and I were too sheltered to be ready to move out on our own, and now I'm in the most fucked up situation I've ever been in in my life with family being unable to help. Today in particular is going to end in disaster unless I get REALLY lucky. I'm like $100 short of a bunch of things that are supposed to take priority today, on top of a doctors appointment I'm probably gonna miss. |
Topic | Does everything feel fake and hollow to you? |
Super_Slash 04/15/25 3:28:27 AM #1 | It feels like my life has basically ended and I'm only 32. I'm already done. Life's way too hard and I'm not ready for it. I think moving away from my parents was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life and it seems irreversible. |

Super_Slash 04/08/25 8:19:01 PM #4 | spriga posted... What's your situation?Brother is heavily autistic, and he never got checked out as a kid, so now he's left equipped only with bipolar and depression as a diagnosis for a disability case. On top of that, he needs specific types of foods every day because of his diet/stomach/GERD problems. A lot of this stuff I can't keep up with on a daily basis because of all the other stuff we constantly need. Laundry also costs $2 per cycle where I live now, and I don't even have the money for one load this week. I have been unable to find work for MONTHS and my brother is very likely mentally incapable of working. I also have so much else working against me, like transportation being cumbersome and having to be planned out etc. I barely sleep because my life is so chaotic. Can't afford bills or food, and if I hadn't had help last time I would have had to lose both my internet AND phone. |
Topic | I still cant make it |
Super_Slash 04/08/25 8:02:37 PM #1 | Mountains of bills piled up this week and we are left with almost nothing for groceries or anything else for the rest of the week. I come closer and closer to giving up every day. I can't make it without help, and even with help I'm *barely* doing it. I've already had several people tell/imply to me that I'm draining their bank accounts. Given my situation I simply need money often. And one of my friends from my old internet forum said he can't help me anymore. Getting my brother on disability has become a major hurdle too. Everything is insurmountable. |

Super_Slash 03/30/25 4:31:35 AM #44 | ChocoboMogALT posted... I know working for Starbucks I think we had a base upcharge of 30% on all delivery. So your $3 latte immediately became $3.90. That's before the Uber/Lift fees and tips. If you didn't tip, your order would be waiting for hours before someone picked it up.Considering it was only brought up when I was asked to show my receipt, no. |

Super_Slash 03/30/25 4:00:25 AM #37 | Dungeater posted... sux for the poor people bringing u ur stuff to make their rent thoIt is not my obligation as a person WELL below the poverty line to give people better paychecks. This is why tipping culture sucks. I can't afford anything to begin with and you're trying to guilt me for not spending even more money on an optional service? I would feel the same way if I did deliveries and didn't receive a tip. As a paying customer you should not be expected to automatically increase someone's pay. Also why are you not counting grocery deliveries? It's the same type of business. |

Super_Slash 03/30/25 3:40:00 AM #14 | Mad-Dogg posted... It has always been stated that they are siblings and no other external source from what I ever heard said anything otherwise. I even tried to look this up and came up with nothing.That's weird. There's a scene with them as little children in one of the original OVAs where Mikan is wishing they were blood related. I can find the exact one if you care enough. |
Topic | Booted back up A Wonderful Life after like 2 years |
Super_Slash 03/30/25 3:34:40 AM #1 | Switch version. I love the game but it is so so so SLOW. Forgotten Valley is small and there just isn't a lot to do. I'm on chapter 3 and I still can't find ways to make good money and I don't completely understand the hybrid crop system. Never got the hang of it back in 2003 on the GameCube either. My day typically consists of tending to my farm and animals, then I just wander around aimlessly giving people gifts. I have almost no recipes and don't know where to get any, fish seem to serve little purpose etc What's the secret here? How do I make the game less repetitive? |

Topic | Why is everything so damn expensive? |
Super_Slash 03/29/25 6:25:48 PM #1 | Typically I'll get like $25 at a time from friends but it barely gets you anything. I'm lucky if I can get five grocery items before I run out. I frequently have to come up with an extra dollar or two just to place my order. I've noticed some things are going up too. Great value 40 oz coffee is now almost $15 down here. It was like $12 or so before; that is a significant increase. Just venting, but it seriously frustrates me how everything costs like 5 thousand dollars. |

Super_Slash 03/29/25 3:09:21 AM #1 | Why do people hate delivery apps so much? Uber eats gives you free delivery if your order is over $15. Combine that with coupons and you can sometimes get lucky and get a big meal for REALLY cheap. |
