Can't make rent on time for the second month in a row. Never got the last stimmy. Hoping to get the next. Car is fucked still, after 1800$ in repairs. Splurged on a $10 six pack, maxing out my credit card. Gotta drink it slow though, cuz I'm about to head into work but there's a chance a freak tornado might kill me on the way in so that's a plus.

How about ya'll? Coping well enough today?

    Had to claim the 2nd stimulus on my taxes.
    That wait wasn't too much of an issue.

    But it's looking like the 3rd one isn't gonna come to me automatically, and that means waiting almost a year until my 2021 taxes, and waiting that long will probably be an issue.

    I'm sorry to hear that comrade, times are terrible and tiresome. I'm on the upswing of a pretty bad depressive episode but my material conditions have improved somewhat. I'm also taking time to eat better and exercise, but that only helps when things are swinging up. If you have insurance, a lot of counselors and psychologists are waiving copays indefinitely...it may not improve your life circumstances but when times are tough it's important to have allies. Please hang in there, and remember that hope is at its core an act of defiance.

      Thank you for the hopeful words, comrade. I'm doing what I can. Just gotta vent some times.

    Sorry to hear that! I'm goddamn tired of this fucking earth so much myself. I just want to escape.

      Feeling this. Do you have anything to cling to? Any place for some breathing room? I mean how tf does one cope...

        A lot of escapism for me. I'm actively (trying) avoiding anything covid at the moment, for my own sanity. Gardening season has begun, so I can put some energy into that. Being in nature keeps me sane. I don't want to be the detached 'brunch lib'. But I've honestly reached my limit in the shit I can take.

          Sounds healthy, definitely not brunch lib, do what you can so you have the energy to keep going, I’ve also struggled with this, need to be out more in nature as well...

      I have a feeling this sort of feeling isn't too uncommon, especially among leftists.

      I might not be there with you physically, but I am with you.

    I’m so sorry ❤️ Sending all my love to you comrade. Not coping at all myself, for other shitty reasons. Hope you get your stimmy and I hope no tornado catches you ❤️
