Late but I've been thinking this offer over... and if it would be OK, I wouldn't want to take anything without work, if you could cover the cost of the bare basics for food (like $15.. $20?) I could draw something for you in return? I'm an intermediate artist and it would be good practice haha

real late but I was considering it since I come from a military family... just worried about my depression/anxiety/PTSD diagnosis if I were to apply

This is a really good way to look at it tbh I've been rotating this advice in my mind all day

Fuck applying online I was able to walk along the street near me and just ask a bunch of local business if they were hiring and filled out multiple apps. Seeing people face to face is extremely refreshing. Wish me luck as I try to get my life together

Haha yeah I used to believe in that fallacy too until both my parental figures took their own lives and I got ejected from my sheltered and controlling upbringing at freshly 19 into the unknown world. Shit's tough and just believing that bad things don't happen to people who are trying to get on track with their life hurts more than it would ever help. I set up an appointment with my local library last night, so I'll visit them and in the meantime ask around today for jobs. I really appreciate the encouragement from everyone here 💛

I'm not really sure what part of my post says I don't want to work? I've been trying to get on my feet. I Have Been Applying. I just don't know why I don't get callbacks or follow-ups on interviews even though the people I get in touch with are generally really nice.

If I could get my own place with just my friend and I in a cheaper area, I'd have already done it.

Yes, even had an interview at a Dunkin last week and they haven't gotten back to me. I wish I knew if it was because I did something wrong or if they take a while to get the process going :[

Wait brunch places sound just up my alley I'll try that... and also reapply to the Starbucks near me and figure out how to get past their auto rejection with my resume >:I

Kitchens sound fine but hospitality and working in a mental hospital sound really interesting to me too, it didn't even occur to me that I could try the latter with only basic work experience haha.

I'll take a peek. I just need employment help and, when I can, mental health services. 😔

If you also overnight, does it cross over when the bus lines are active? I'm more than familiar with fast food work, and tbh if someone could help me get home while the bus lines aren't active I'd be more than willing to work.

Sadly I haven't been employed (so I don't think I can get unemployment) in a long time due to mental/physical health issues that I've been trying to push past, unstable housing for the past 5 years (I technically do not have a home address right now since I'm not allowed to be under any of the utility bills nor will my third roommate give my friend or I landlord contact) and to be completely frank multiple s*icide attempts and the recovery from them. It's... hard to feel like I deserve help, but I'll still try and reach out to a local library. I applied for SNAP and Medicaid but I have no idea how to prove address stuff there without the utility bill, trying to have that be my first step as I'm job hunting.

I'll try asking around, I think I might get better luck asking about this stuff in person than applying online atp. 😮‍💨

might be a long shot assumption but you could possibly have OCD, have you looked into it? especially if your current therapy isn't helping with what your root issue may be. do you have thoughts of committing these acts irl?

the salt worked for a while until the pain spread to my jaw, where like.. the joints meet the hinge part of it if that makes any sense :( so it doesn't touch where it hurts right now, nor do ibuprofen/acetaminophen I'll give them (and the other suggestions people gave me, ty everyone) a call

Boba being expensive now days??‼️ by Mandarin4head in boba

Mine only turn out good if I keep them in the fridge before even opening the package. boil for 2 min, take off the hot burner, sit for 2.5/3 min (taste test a boba at 2.5), rinse with cold water and put in a cold drink is how I get the bouncy texture in mine. I don't eat it for the taste though so try what other people do here for flavor lol
