@actuallyautistic For those unaware: globalnews.ca/news/11152310/la

The quote below says it all. The system here is so broken there's nothing to DEAL with people with poor mental health rather than just recycling them and having the police constantly put them in custody/jail. Mental health workers in this province would much rather say "I'm not paid enough to deal with this shit."

Don't let me become another statistic like him. I've lost my entire support circle in the last few weeks and have been on edge myself.

New thread time.

In June I'll be billed $150 for my video hosting, which is an increase from $120. This puts me in a tough financial position as my lemon iPhone has left me in financial ruin.

The cell repair shop's asking $70 for an intense diagnostic that I'd have to pay on May 21st. But after the video hosting bill's paid I would have no money 4 food buffer money 2 counter my landlords either making spoiled food or failing 2 portion food in time.

In fact, that's a problem right now. I only have $7 in my accounts and I need buffer money NOW 2 ensure I don't starve for 3 weeks straight.

If you've been following the news, you've now seen the results of a lack of mental health care in BC. Don't let me become another statistic.

@actuallyautistic my last local friend to my surprise gave me the SSD I thought he was going to withhold forever, but says I still owe $100. With the gamble I placed on the shop, I can't pay my friend neither even though I have the SSD. He's also still down a car because his parents decided to not help him progress until he learns the lesson of having savings. My anxiety that it means I will be abandoned is through the roof. #aspie #aspielife

@actuallyautistic the only thing remaining broken on my 13 Pro Max is the screen. It's not getting bright enough in daylight and doesn't effectively auto-brightness itself.

The repair fixed broken NFC and the spots in the sensor by replacing with another camera module.

This is the closest I've gotten to fixing the lemon phone.

Food costs going up took me by surprise as the usual Chinese place I get my meals full of turmeric from increased their prices by $2 after tax.

Yellow curry chicken on white rice is something I need to eat to promote anti-inflammatory properties to stay healthy while I am not paying attention to my health, but now it got more expensive.

Generosity can only go so far, and I also owe a pizza restaurant $60 after going to them during the night I had my meltdown, and they saved my life with money and pizza. If they hadn't helped, the outcome of my roommate threatening to kill me would be far worse. I'm obligated to repay that generosity. #aspie #aspielife

New thread time.

I am on the verge of not being able to pay my rent for my storage locker and internet bill, because I gambled on another repair shop fixing my phone, but this time it did pay off... at the cost of no savings left.

The plan after clearing this initial hurdle is to save $500 on my own when I have proper savings either to screen repair, or to put that money towards trade in difference should a 512GB or 1TB arrive at the shop.

If you believe in me getting better with a functioning phone, anything to help towards that $500 will be welcome, but I need to clear this first initial hurdle.

Money will be going towards 2 more glass containers in addition to rounding out my balances. Turns out my landlords are also lazy in terms of how many spare containers are clean for portioning food. Food unexpectedly increased in cost too.

$20 to balance out budget, rest is food money.
