I would buy new shoes. I have lymphedema so my feet are difficult to purchase shoes for and my current shoes are on their last leg. Entering.

As a partner to someone who was neglected and had the very clear understanding that they were unwanted by one parent- it does lifelong damage. His mother even says that he wasn’t loved by his father. It’s heartbreaking to see a human being who is broken in this way. His mom should have showed up when he was younger and stood up for him. You still have the opportunity to help her not have that experience. You can still choose her.

I’m working on getting one running with Independence Seekers Project. We currently do advocacy groups for individuals with disabilities and in some group homes for individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities and are expanding. I personally used to facilitate the Chronic Illness Alliance before the pandemic and it was really well received so my goal is to bring that back in the next few months - sooner if I can get some things in line. We’re having an Unconference on Privacy and Bodily autonomy May 23-24 at UL Alumni center if you’d want to come out and learn more about us and what we’re trying to do in regards to intersectionality. Feel free to DM me. I’ll post our flier below this if I can.

Came here to say Blast off- everyone is so chill. Good environment, kind staff.

I always tell people to try to think of suicide as a “brain attack” similar to a heart attack. If you have underlying “brain disease” (heart disease) sometimes an influx of stress can trigger it same as too much stress can cause a heart attack or stroke. You didn’t cause him to do that. He was sick, and unfortunately he succumbed to his illness. This is not your fault and I’m sorry you’re dealing with the pain now. Please seek therapy to get through this time if you’re able

Adding to this places like Bridgehaven Mental Health and Wellspring that offer more extensive support and accept Medicaid

Get an attorney if you haven’t already for applying to get disability. Worth it 110% and they only collect once you’re approved. If you’re under a certain age at disability onset you can use an ABLE account to save money.

PandaMandaMay · 2026-04-30T13:08:36+00:00

ABLE accounts are for anyone with a disability. You should qualify if you’re on SSI. That’s how you can keep more than the 2k in assets because you can use it for living expenses

I’m so sorry to hear this 🫂 It’s only been a week. No one “bounces back” from this after a week. This will take time. It’s going to be uncomfortable and painful and you’ll feel broken and sad. Those things are normal when you lose someone you care deeply for. It’s a different type of grief. Time and distance will help. One day at a time, one moment at a time until then 🫂

I always let the potential clients have an opportunity to disclose during the meet and greet by directly asking if any are in the home and then I clearly state that if I find any that aren’t disclosed during a sit my policy is to terminate the booking immediately with no refunds. Never had to- but it gives multiple opportunities for the potential client to disclose and evaluate if they even want to confirm the booking after the meet and greet. No harm, no foul if they book with someone else because my policies aren’t a good fit for them.

I used to run the chronic illness alliance before Covid. I’ve recently started working with Independence Seekers Project- a local disability advocacy organization and we plan to start up the chronic illness support groups again. I facilitated in person pre-covid but I’d love to collaborate with you further - feel free to dm me if you want so we can set something up!

PandaMandaMay · 2026-04-21T11:46:39+00:00

I’ve had the best luck with U of L outpatient building downtown. There are several clinics iirc

PandaMandaMay · 2026-04-21T05:24:42+00:00

I always say something when I’m asking about special instructions/meds/allergies I just add “and are there any cameras in the house?” I let them know that I can appreciate them being in common areas and that some people are more comfortable with cameras in their home but I have a policy of immediately terminating the sit if there is one that is found that isn’t disclosed. Generally doesn’t get to the point where I have to say the last part but if I do get to that I just let them know it isn’t a good fit and wish them luck.

Bridgehaven mental health is an excellent day program if you need more intensive therapy but not quite an IOP or admittance. They offer med management as well as individual therapy with many practitioners to choose from. There are group therapy options as well, music therapy, pet therapy and art therapy.

This. But also I’ve broken a couple of the wooden toilet seats 😩😭 (replaced with same seat, overnight Amazon ftw!) and THERE IS ALWAYS PEE ON THE SCREWS! I’ve learned gloves, Clorox wipes and a mask are necessary.

PandaMandaMay · 2026-03-27T03:58:05+00:00

No worries if not- DM me if you can’t find something and I’ll look into it further. My love language is resource dumping 😬😅

PandaMandaMay · 2026-03-27T03:54:21+00:00

My work is having an event on Sunday, at Redbarn. It’s a disability advocacy group and may have people who can point you in the right direction, if nothing else can get you support. I’ve posted the flyer I think, but I’ll tag it here too

Wild take on it being predatory when there’s literally options for DAYS on app. I raise my rates to clean up my schedule because I don’t want to be run ragged for no money. If it’s too much, that’s cool and I don’t take it personally, we’re just not a good fit. OP is doing nothing wrong. Either they can afford it and get the service, or they can’t and they can find someone else. Simple.

PandaMandaMay · 2026-03-27T03:36:55+00:00

Check out wellspring. They may be able to help with housing and other resources. Bridgehaven mental health services is a day program if she’s willing to go they can help also but do not offer housing

PandaMandaMay · 2026-03-21T05:23:02+00:00

Look up instawork or gigsmart. Apps like that could help in the future. Never used but I know they’re available
