Feeling panicked since my roommate went out of town for the weekend and I realised I'm entirely alone in the world right now. It's weird, I'm an introvert, but when I have absolutely zero Human contact with people I care about, I start feeling super anxious.
Ugh, hope this tea relaxes me, if not, maybe a hot bath or something will?

i am so exhausted, but not ready to go to bed yet. I am glad the weekend is here, but it still will be busy.

Smoke a fat joint, and chill
Be grateful your alone to enjoy things. Being alone is Awsome. Pesky roommates and weird humans
(Shakes heads)
Roll a fatty and burn one, look at the starts, stand one leg, or dance like a Egyptian
You are limitless

Definitely know how you feel- also am an introvert - loving my 'alone' time this weekend (Nice long walk with sister's doggie earlier too
) but niece is home now from USC and with doggie)... but at the same time.. would rather be with certain friends of mine.Yes a nice warm/hot bath does help.. yes I admit it-- I indulge in that sometimes
Hang in there.. it will be here before you know it and I bet you will sail through that training- whole new world.. yeah cliche i know... I keep telling myself that right now-- looking for work sucks...
===
I do believe Saavik is trying to stay clean before going back to VA...
I'm not her but I'll say it anyway. Yes I'm grateful for 'alone' time but there are a few times that I HATE living alone or do so much ALONE. Ironic considering I am an introvert and do hate social stuff (i.e. parties) but I do crave spending time with good friends... maybe acquaintances.
Biggest problem for me though is actually going out and doing stuff and/or meeting people. I don't do well there so I am a creature of comfort-- stick with people I know lol. problem is... they all live in other states damnit!

I've been out of anything to smoke for days now and I prefer water filtration over joints, blunts or spliffs. But I decided to make a lot of Earl Grey and watch some Dark Knight Batman, so I've very slowly started to calm down. If I had something to smoke, I'd have done that and be done with my anxiety in a matter of a minute or so.

I can be alone, but knowing people I care about aren't anywhere nearby, just outside of reach of my area of solitude, it causes serious panic. I am keeping my THC and CBD levels down, yes, but I also have nothing to smoke right now, which is likely for the best as I don't want to blow the one chance at building a life because of a single failed drug test. Looking forward to gaining a skill, but scared of the massive amount of solo time in my car across the US, when anything can go wrong and I'm on my own for it.

ugh.
All I can say is take it slow driving back. Almost wish I could come there and keep you company on the way back. Sadly I'm about as broke as you are Only trip I hope to take this year is to WA for a friend's wedding in September.
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I'm feeling extremely betrayed, I loaned my parent's money back when I was working. Even when I had no money, I acquiesced by writing a back check and paying back the overdraft with my next pay check. Since I came out to Las Vegas, my parents have been withdrawing money from bank account and not even asking or letting me know in any way. I have called them out on this a few months ago and told them to pay it back and not to steal my money, at least ask and they did put the money back a week or so later, but they agreed not to take my money without clearing it with me first.
They don't have access to my bank account, it's in my name only, but they apparently have a bunch of my checks and are forging my name on them. I just got a long awaited college check and tiny state tax return and it's all gone, they took over $400 from my account. Apparently they started back up on the 24th or so of this past month, so checking my bank, I just noticed it.
I know the obvious approach would be to just call the bank and report fraud or the police or whatever, but if I do that and my parents are incarcerated, my mentally handicapped brother suddenly has nowhere to go and I'm barely in a position to help myself survive.
I remember years ago my father told me how his father stole all his money from his bank while he was in basic training and when he got home from basic in 1980, he didn't have a penny to his name. So I guess the phrase "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain".
Guess I truly am alone in the world, no parents, no friends really, no partner, just me and my continued fight against the world to get by. I told my parents they need to live within their means, reach out for assistance and such, but they don't seem to get it. Why you'd justify stealing money from your children, not trying to improve living conditions in the house, I have no idea.
It's crazy, they have satellite TV, when they can stream things over the internet free, they bought a minivan and all their kids are adults, and they bought this thing brand new a few years ago (2012?) and have shit credit, yet didn't read the loan paperwork and are paying close to, if not $50k on a Dodge Grand Caravan, that's a decent sports car right there.
Instead of compromising themselves and stealing from their children, they should make cuts like TV, keep internet since it isn't expensive, but cut TV, get rid of that van somehow, even if it means filing for bankruptcy again and start fresh somewhere else in the US where there are jobs and my father's skills are needed.
Funny thing is, if he'd stop refusing to leave Virginia, he's have a job above minimum wage. Out here in Las Vegas, so many listings for experienced people with his professional skills, but he is so dead set on staying right there in his precious Virginia.
I love them, even though they are foolish and stabbing me in the back by robbing me blind, but they really are a prime example of what not to be. I came out here to find work, but as many of you know, being deaf or HoH (And being included as entirely deaf by people) jobs aren't the easiest to find, let alone being trans and having no skills to market.
I'm coming back out west when I finish my training, unless I get a great job offer when I'm done with auto mechanic's training. Either back to Las Vegas or I'll head out to California.

Holy crap Saavik... peaches of parents they are...
No way to switch your bank accounts to another bank and just not tell them OR call the same bank and ask to change account numbers? You don't even have to tell the bank why other than maybe 'concern' for possible theft. That's what I'd do and that way avoid causing them to land in jail or something.
All the more reason to work your ass off with the auto mechanic training... get away from them and set up everything under your name elsewhere and never tell them.

Am starting a renewed effort to get constructive again. The way things piled up was my doing. Only I can get it all sorted out.
For instance a classic goodonya move. I love Epsom salt baths. My place here I built it with a plan for the classic old cast iron claw foot tub. It took me years to find one up here in Alaska in good shape and at a reasonable price. I bought it and put it in my truck with a canopy on it to bring home. Two years later it is still in the truck. I still have not had an Epsom salt bath. I maintain a truck registration and keep a battery up on it for a storage space for a bath tub. The place the bath tub goes is full of stuff.
I have at least a dozen things going on like this. My back went out and my pain level went up and things stopped. Just to help things along I refuse all help.
The good news is after years of trying to get my now not so new hearing aids dialed in to really hear some kind miracle happened and the audi that is about to retire has hit a new level of knowledge and ability on adjusting these to these to her people. My ability to describe what I need has improved a lot in the course of all of this. These HA's are amazing now. I go from watching peoples mouths move and muffled faint unintelligible sound without them to having real conversation with them.
It makes me wonder how many of us are wearing ha's that could be doing way better for us. I would like to give a special thanks to NaidaUps for helping me be a less passive and more involved in getting the most out of these.
I realize I am out of it as far as Deaf vs. deaf. ASL is still not in my tool kit but coming my way as I am not going to change to CI when the time comes.

Ohh cast iron claw foot tubs!!! There used to be two in the PA house I shared with a relative. The one on the third floor was still there (my floor). The second floor was renovated for my grandparents to move into (aunt lived on first floor). The following story happened:
When it came time to renovate the bathroom- they had to gut out the bathroom which included removing the claw footed tub (it was in horrible rusty yucky shape anyway). The work guys were trying to figure out how to get it out of the house.
Luckily they had already built the deck on the back of the house off the "living room" on the 2nd floor. So..they lugged the tub to the deck and heaved it over and THUNK lands in the yard. One of the guys said to my aunt "Thank you for saving me 25.00" "What?" "I don't have to go get a vasectomy now" Poor guy- hefting a tub even with help puts a strain on your back and I am pretty sure the guy felt it all the way to his balls lol.
The tub sat there in the yard for about 2-3 more years (nice planter garden lol) until the husband of one of my co-workers took it away for her.
