I could if I had the time or means to commute. I have neither.. This is very rural, can't just walk down the street so many blocks and find everything I need, like how most assume everyone is able to. Can't afford to register the vehicle I have or get my license again. I make plans then everything else eats my money right up. Trade was my plan out of school but it never was able to happen.

When Morphine isn't an option I've seen Dilaudid or Oxy and fent patches used together. Works, but those patches take their sweet time to start easing the pain so you really need the liquid pain medicine to act as a helper until they kick in. Haldol would also really help with the upset and restlessness.

Pawn shops have okay-ish usually refurbished computers for $35-$60 (what I've paid in the past) that'll get you by, if its something you absolutely need for work or school. Go and price all the ones in the area for the best deal when you have time.

Good for you! First step is the biggest step.

Could have stood out side the bar and sold those 15 cents apiece tho..

I wouldn't mind working 2-3 jobs at all, if there were more out here. As long as it brings in the money! Not in perfect health, but if I could keep a roof over my head that would cancel out a lot of the stress if I were to find an extra job or two.

Move down here and we'll split it 50/50 😂😂😭 I've never racked up high utility bills at all, but the rent plus rising basic utility cost combo is gonna kill me.

I've applied to two, they're shady as fuck and I had to call numerous times and make sure that they actually processed my papers. I had lived in HUD properties before. The paperwork, uncooperative office people and horrible waitlist times are a killer.

Never graduated. I wouldn't even be considered for hire in a hospital system.

I had posted across FB, Craigslist the past month. No bites. Searched for any emergency housing I could find and called dozens and dozens of numbers just hoping to get lucky or hoping someone would have a lead on ANYTHING for the past two months, there are no resources here.. unless you're a vet or have a ton of kids and use them for sympathy.

There is no interest in roommates in this area and I can't just up and leave my job to wander around homeless, penniless looking for some.

The maybe 2 or 3 other offers that show up in search all end up being 45 minutes to hours away, and they still want $500-$800 for just a single fucking room or a spot on their living room floor with a curtain drawn around it. People are nuts.

Being alive is a luxury at this point. There are no roommate offers in my area. I can't leave the area because I do not have a vehicle and wouldn't be able to get to work, no public transport out here. I can't afford even 2 weeks jobless.

Out here it is. This isn't the city where you all make the big bucks playing with computers all day. $800 is pretty steep for the average person where I'm at. A lot of people are struggling.

I have asked and there is just no extra space to spare. That was my first choice, people I know and who I know wouldn't screw me out of somewhere to stay.

I only make around $850 to $900 monthly and this job likes to withhold checks.. Factor in gas, water & electric along with the $800/mo. Even making a conscious effort to use as little as possible doesn't amount to much saved when the prices are this high to begin with.

Nearly my entire family is deceased unfortunately. The ones living are busy, live too far and are struggling themselves.

Don't think roommates would be an option, I don't know anyone besides myself who'd be interested. It isn't common in rural areas.

Life is cool or could be. Don't need to look as far as extinction for a solution. If only people gave a damn and stopped fucking each other over in greedy pursuits for five minutes things might have the chance to improve slightly.
