This is the general category of fuckery that goes on and on and doesn’t seem interested in stopping.

  • Scraping together what I can this week

    The weed story will be much the same

    But at least I’ll have nicotine

    I wish this upcoming so called disabled people uplifting benefit was $2000 a month

    Not a year.

    Oh yeah I’m just going to save those $200 allotments

    That’s possible

    I’m not sure how I’m going to fair

    This promise of continued struggle just makes me want to run away

    I wish I could run away from my disease

    Maybe I’m being spared from something

    But the hours, days, weeks, months, I have spent alone

    Have simply prepared me to want to give up

    I miss mostly well me

    Lonely as hell

    But entertained, drugged appropriately, and fed

    That was nice

    I’m an idiot

    But at least I can say I had a nice time again before I die

    That’s not happening again any time soon

    It’s not like I can’t understand, other than in my worst moments, why no one is rushing in to help

    I would help me, but I would help everyone, and I’m not a good benchmark

    Why anyone has to live like this I’ll never know

    I’ll never understand it

    The fact that most people on this planet are worse off than me just

    It shouldn’t be this way

    I’m so stuck

    I need an income

    I can’t make the income I need

    So, like, what?

    I’m not finding a partner. I can’t offer sex, and most people don’t like that

    Some person who doesn’t want to live with me officially, because I may lose my benefits, and will never be able to marry me, similarly so, who doesn’t want sex, or place expectations on me I’ll never meet until they slowly fade into obscurity like everyone else

    Yeah right

    I don’t know

    I dream of a way out because I can’t actually find my way out

    There aren’t chances all over town

    Only for those with connections

    I don’t know if I want to be here for the next four years

    It’s really hard right now

    I feel like every time I think I’ve found the darkest my life will go it gets darker

    And suddenly I’m craving the light of suffering to the lesser degree

    I need like $100 to just show up

    Why does it always feel like that amount no matter how much I make except for on my PWD days.

    I’m so lost

    Like I’m awful with money, I know this

    All my life I’ve never saved a cent.

    I’ve done dumb, desperate things, to try to get money

    I hate money, but the original capitalistic need to have money got to me initially

    Now it’s actual need most of the time

    Last April to June was just me breaking

    This life isn’t sustainable

    If I don’t have entertainment I go insane

    Sorry

    And entertainment isn’t like needing to play games or watch TV all the time, I’d crochet and make things, do things

    Probably try a lot more things

    Be able to get access to materials that don’t hurt my hands so I could wrap stones more easily

    Just things that make time go by if I can’t interact with any person in person

    Everything is digital

    I hate it

    So much shit all the time

    I want a simpler life that doesn’t involve being hungry all the time or being bored and alone out of my skull

  • This is probably going to be short, I have a headache, but I just wanted to say thank you.

    To all you people who still read this or have joined in to read

    I recieved my first tip on ko-fi yesterday from some lovely human who no doubt just wanted to brighten my day a bit

    And I was in it yesterday

    Petulant and not functioning

    I use this site as a place to put my terrible thoughts

    The ones that are caused by the culmination of all my life

    Where I go in my worst moments

    Because people should know what suffering looks like

    And I say that not in that I want to be on display

    But that someone has to write from the poverty point of view

    The I can’t afford to publish my own book point of view

    Afford the money nor the energy

    People need to see the disabled point of view

    And, yeah, I’m not myself when I’m suffering

    No kidding

    But y’all still here and I appreciate that

    I see some names that have stuck around over the years and I appreciate you

    I’m probably not going to be myself much over the next few months

    I don’t know how I can be, facing the end of an actual era of my life

    Again

    For the worse

    Again

    I don’t know

    I don’t feel like me at all right now

    I feel locked behind doors of panic and fear

    I may drop off the radar at some point

    But I’m trying my best

    I’m failing, but I’m trying my best.

    Thanks for hanging around.

    Thanks S, you allowed me to find a bit of light yesterday that got me out of bed and eating dinner, rather anything at all.

    Forever appreciated

  • Pain management get

    And all is right in the

    It’s not though because I can’t afford food again which means another week of depression food

    And Trump is going to be president

    And Americans are telling me that I, as a Canadian, have no right to talk on their politics

    Because apparently my province didn’t just almost elect a far right wing party because the swamp is fucking spilling over Linda

    Her name isn’t Linda it just fit

    Sorry Linda

    I’m terrified

    Gaza is fucked

    Lebanon is fucked

    My LGBTQIA+ siblings in the states

    Every woman

    I want to be there when his followers get fucked by him

    Like I want to see the hope drain from their eyes

    I don’t want to do anything bad to them

    But I just want to see how it feels

    Would I feel superior?

    Would I feel bad for them?

    Should I even feel bad for them?

    I am all for loving thy neighbour

    Up until the point said neighbour has a gun pointed at me, carries signs damning me to hell, or tries to take away the rights of women

    Or anyone else

    God

    Were you not prepared for this animosity?

    Yes you God with a capital you

    Made in your image?

    Such a vengeful

    Nasty

    Selfish

    Narcissistic

    Image

    That eventually they’d be just like you?

    Little mini gods

    With guns!

    My therapist was supposed to have surgery

    My calendar just reminded my of our appointment that I tried to cancel on Monday

    I just realised I haven’t heard anything at all

    Thanks calendar, 5/10

    I know the reason I’m more anxious than usual

    Is that there’s so much anxiety

    Just, everywhere

    I feel, very much, like a shaken up pop right now

    I would be that Sakura flavoured drink they released that year I lived in Japan

    I probably taste like one that was made then too

    I want to go home

    That place where the light is

    Had a replica

    For a bit

    Something about even an endless night having a dawn

    They sing better songs in my dreams

    But where is mine?

    I believe I told you the last one was a fake

    Where is the dawn for all these people?

    All these people who are living similar lives to me?

    Worse?

    I wish I could be

    Anything close to helpful

    Trapped

    They scream they have freedom with their legs anchored to the floor

    I scream we don’t have freedom

    They call me and all others like me insane

    I’ll let you know how that went for them

  • It really feels like the sky is joining in when I cry

    Every time I’ve come to the back door in tears it’s raining alongside me

    It even eased off just now when I stopped crying

    There are lots of reasons to cry

    I was just crying because a person I follow on Instagram lost her soul cat last month and just announced she lost her dad on October 30th as well

    Before that I was crying because a cat I follow has recovered from his illness to the point of bringing his mum stuffies again (which is his favourite thing to do)

    Yup, the rain stopped as soon as my tears did

    Peculiar

    The sky took it personally when I said I didn’t have anyone to halve my tears with?

    That moment of solidarity where the weather mirrors me

    The opposite of those days the nice weather seemed to mock my pain

    I’m massively uncomfortable right now, waiting until my dealer is up to bring me my weed

    Being awake is hard

    But I felt less alone when I opened the door and the sky was crying with me

    It’s sad

    To lose a parent is one of the most profound experiences a person can have

    Because all at once that little person inside you who believed they’d always be there is proven wrong

    I haven’t really experienced it yet

    Besides people who claimed they were my parents and just disappeared like everyone else

    “I love you like my own”

    Your own should probably be careful then as your love is conditional

    But the thought of losing my mum has weighed heavily on me

    She’s sick, like me, but she’s had the disease for about 15 years longer, so it’s done worse to her body than mine, I’m sure

    She had to get heart surgery because her heart was going too slowly

    I cry for other people, a lot

    I cry about my own pain, but usually I’m crying for others

    I’ve been crying too much lately

    Too many things going wrong

    But, if the sky will cry with me

    Maybe I won’t feel so alone

  • There’s nothing like suffering when you know others are having a good time

    Be it me sitting at the backdoor in Summer, on my some several months alone, listening to people talking and laughing in the evening

    Or just knowing that I’m the one in my family who’s struggling while others are just fine

    Trying not to get jealous of the delicious food they’re probably eating while I’m eating crap

    I don’t want to resent them

    But I do

    There’s nothing like hearing about how other people are enjoying themselves when I can’t

    It’s just going to get worse

    Either I’m in some house somewhere up island all alone or I’m here paying way too much rent to live in a trailer

    Or I’m homeless

    And I’d almost rather be homeless than live in the trailer

    Everything feels like it’s mocking me

    Like all the enjoyment is at my expense

    And who cares if I sleep all day and don’t function and waste my life?

    They’re all fine.

    That’s what matters right?

    That everyone else is fine

    I just have to suffer through another night and another morning and then I can afford my pain management

    My pain is meaningless to anyone but me

    Doesn’t matter

    Never did

  • Fucking condescending emojis

    That actually mean Please shut up

    And not what they actually mean

    I don’t want to deal with you please go away – emoji

    Just suffer in silence no one wants to hear about it

    No one cares if I’ve been crying for two days straight

    Or that I’m suffering

    Or that I really want to take every pill in my house so I can just escape the fucking silence

    As long as I’m suffering and silent everyone is happy

    So often I feel like that wretch in Omalas who had to suffer so everyone else could enjoy life

    They don’t care

    I say I’m suffering they say “oh I’m sorry”

    Hug emoji

    It’s nothing

    It’s empty words that won’t change my situation

    Just ugly little words that don’t mean anything

    I’m waiting for the drugs to kick in so I can go back to sleep

    And fuck it if I need them later

    No one gives a shit

    It’s almost like they enjoy watching me suffer

    Empty bullshit words

    It’s like I’m stuck in a burning building calling for help and everyone walks past and just says “I’m so sorry” and keeps going

    Nothing matters

    I don’t matter

    I never mattered

    I want to get to enjoy today too but I can’t

    So fuck it

    Who the fuck cares if I don’t have pain management?

    They can’t feel it

    I want to die
