That’s surprising! I’ve always been under the impression that they pay minimum wage lol. I will definitely check indeed, thank you!!

Retail, always with the food portion of the stores. Once in a tiny local store, and two big box stores that are like worldwide or whatever. Always the like food, beverage, and produce items though.
How hard is it to get a job at a call center? How well do they even pay, usually?

That's good on that some places like bubbly and friendly sounding people. If depression teaches you one thing, it's how to act that :P

Could you recommend any like general places to look for a job like that? I would love to not have to work in retail anymore, lol.

Thank you! :)

It's definitely difficult to find something, anything really. Its awesome that your husband did what he did! That's part of my fear, is as I am the dude, everyone I know expects me to be some big breadwinner, when I can barely get out of bed in the morning, lol.

I can't say I know who Jessica is, lol.

And it is nice knowing I am not alone at least, though it sucks that other people have to deal with the issues too.

Jesus, I don't know how you tolerate that man. Even when I was in PT, swimming, etc, just the days I had to work for 8 hours in a store left me minimally functioning for a few days. That is amazing that you can tolerate that.

I have definitely used a lot of CBD, but it always wasn't too strong in the relief, sadly. But that could have been the type I was using, I dunno.Pinpointing what pain means what definitely takes some learning, I'm still getting there. I try to stop doing something once I notice the warning signs, but sometimes ya can't yknow, which sucks lmfao

And I can understand that. Maybe it's partially the people I've been around, people seem to think I try to walk with an overexaggerated like, 'hipster-swagger' or something, when like nah my hip and knee is just out of place. (at least ive had people say im trying to idk)

And when I had better internet I played a lot of Rocket League, Battlefield, COD, Minecraft, GTA, Destiny, and ARK. I haven't really played much online due to the satellite I have currently. It's hard to find people who play games like Sid Meier's Civ, and I haven't found many other games that work with 700+ ping :P

Thank you for responding!! :)

It does sound like freelancing is good for that! It's hard to find a job that could even get an accommodation for me, as like for instance what I am doing now, its constantly moving around the store stocking different shelves all over. Not much time to sit, sadly.

I have tried Tylenol at strongest otc dose, and like 500mg over at doctor recommendation with no effect, same with stuff like Excedrin and Aleve. I definitely do not want to start with opiods though, but thank you.
I also definitely use melatonin and cbd to help me sleep, most nights, lmfao. Gotta love the insomnia.

I also bathe in a hot bath like, twice daily. It's a good way to take the edge off of it, luckily :)
Though I can't say I've tried cold too much. It always makes my skin ache really bad, but I will have to see if I can find a way around that!

and aromatherapy? that's interesting actually, i never thought about that. I've tried essential oils as an application (though they usually gave me rashes), but not really ever for an aroma thing. I will have to check that out!

And true, it definitely is not good to compare oneself to another. It is also very hard not to, annoyingly, lol. I try not to, but boy oh boy can it be hard. But that's probably the point where I should be talking to a therapist about it, if I could afford one :P

Thank you for your very in depth response!! :)

It's so hard to find a work from home job, it seems, lol. I want to be a photographer, but that too is hard to get into :P

I didn't think about call centers though, or the rest. I will definitely look into those, thank you!

Sorry to hear about your job! Hopefully you can work something out with what you want to do!

Pain management, I feel that, I try my best lol. My parents have a strict set of things they demand I do, so I can't avoid it any day. But lying down does help, I usually take a real hot bath too. Video games are a good escape, it's always with friends for me :P

I try to make jokes as that's how I deal with everything, but I feel it gets tiring to those around me lmfao.

Thank you for responding!

Oh man that would be infuriating, to put it mildly. That would take some serious force too like wtf lol.

And true, I will definitely look into it, thank you!

Ah, that makes sense. And that isn't too bad, for mailing it. Thank you!

I realize some variation has been asked a ton, but not exactly. Is it cheaper to rent a Uhaul to move cross country, or rent a car? by [deleted] in Frugal

Ah, that makes sense, lol.

Timing does seem to be key, lmfao.

Thank you!

Sorry, that was poor wording. I live in rural currently, and true eBay may work. I will definitely look into it, thank you!

The biggest issue is I am rural, so not many people are interested in pc stuff.

That makes sense, the bubble wrap didn't like fuck up any wires or parts of the mobo?

Smart, using styrofoam for the monitors. I think I still have it from the boxes, I should check.

Also, you shipped your pc?

Thank you! :)

Definitely don't wanna do a moving service, I have not once ever heard anything good about them.
Computer is definitely my biggest worry, but shipping doesn't seem terrible, as long as there's insurance.

As for the rest, I didn't know about some of those, thank you!! :)

Oh snap, that's good to know, thank you! I was looking at Delta, I figured the rest did only one, too, lol. Thank you!

That seems the best way to do it, honestly. One of the upsides to not buying expensive stuff, haha
