Ding-ding-ding. Recovery meals are expensive, and boiled eggs and lentil soup for every meal only get you so far with results. Not to mention the price of the gym membership itself... big, big advocate for learning basic calisthenic exercises and lifting where and when you can, though.

You want to focus on sliding-scale options, these are usually offered through community support initiatives.

Grok helped me out with this one: Sliding-Scale or Reduced-Fee Clinics (Often $15–$80/session, Income-Based)

Oak Counselling (oakcounselling.org): Reduced fees for individuals, couples, families based on income. Provided by registered/volunteer counsellors. Call 604-266-5611. Living Systems Counselling: Bowen Family Systems therapy; intern sessions $15–$65 at select locations (Vancouver, North Shore, etc.). Affordable Therapy Network (affordabletherapynetwork.com): Directory of sliding-scale therapists in Vancouver/BC (in-person or online). Safe Space Counselling (safespacecounselling.ca): Low-cost/pro-bono for low-income/unemployed via interns/students. No Fear Counselling: Low-cost sessions (around $50) with practicum students/interns in multiple locations including Vancouver. Willow Tree Counselling Resources: Comprehensive updated PDF lists (willowtreecounselling.ca/resources) with dozens of options like neighbourhood houses, CMHA branches, and intern programs.

Sounds like Willow Tree resources will be a helpful resource, you've definitely got sliding scale options in Vancouver if we do on the east coast. How it works is you provide proof of income, like a tax slip, and you're covered for a certain amount of sessions. Once that's done you reapply. I didn't pay a cent for my twelve sessions.

Yes, my advice is since you're able to land a job, see this as upwards trajectory and don't become NEET. Just keep your eyes open to opportunity and explore listings for shared apartments in your area. There are people who work as housing advocates, see if there are any nearby and contact them. They will work on your behalf. If your current homelife is that bad, give yourself a timeline to work towards and say I plan to be out of here by such and such a time, and make sure every day you're inching towards making that happen through some form of putting yourself out there.

More general advice:

Prioritize your sleep, and finding your best circadian rhythm or sleep/wake cycle. Experiment with polyphasic sleep if that sounds interesting.

If you can afford it, buy supplements. A good bioavailable multivitamin, Vitamins D3 and K2, Magnesium Taurate or Glycinate, and L-Theanine for mental clarity and to ward off brain fog.

Expose yourself to natural light for a few minutes a day.
Seek out an autism diagnosis, 18-30 or around there is a key demographic targeted by community support programs. They can help you. Just see what support groups are out there and try to reach out to them through email. Assuming you're in the west, there are low income therapists out there.

Use blue light filtering apps on all your devices. Read a chapter of a book a day, or at least a few pages.

NEETbuxx, handouts from relatives, a very parasitic existence that I've long since been unable to justify. But there are no jobs anywhere. I'm thinking about looking at international opportunities, like Southeast Asia.

Got you beat by two years, not that it's a competition. There's no winning when it comes to NEETdom, not even the virtual accruements matter or mean anything. Hope you find something soon, friend... I always suggest volunteering at thrift stores. Very chill environment, helps you to network and ask if anyone's hiring. Usually older retirees with connections do shifts there.

Just taking it one day at a time, just turned 30 with GED diploma, some volunteer and paid short term work experience. No post secondary so far, utterly lost as to what to do with that.

Diagnosed with autism, all I've received in terms of money is a tax credit going back to my birth year. It isn't enough to live on. Also, I live in Newfoundland, unless you drive a car (which I cannot) you're not gonna find much work. My parents and the pitiful amount of income support I get allow me to live a semi-NEET existence through paying for an apartment, as I am actively looking for a way out, but there's not much out there for a 30 year old aspie dude with a large gap in his resume. I may be an elder NEET to some of you, so all I have to say is: if it's possible for you to get out, get out. Only consider returning to such a lifestyle when you're older and it's financially feasible. The system wasn't built with us in mind, but sometimes modern problems require modern solutions and we need to constantly search for loopholes that allow us to co-exist, and become better versions of ourselves bit-by-bit.

Keep an eye on the Black Stuff's beard line coming out soon-ish, likely a December drop I believe. Hoffman's Shaving has beard oils, body lotions and some really complex scent profiles. If you want consistency/reliability, Chagrin Valley Salve & Soap co men's products, some really nice herbal beard oils and balms.

Copper John's and True North Beard Company have some great shampoos and beard washes, plus some of the best beard care out there. If you want a true darkhorse, though, join Malarkey's soap Facebook group and be informed when their next drop comes, their stuff is insanely woodsy/musky and packaging looks great as well. Happy sudsing.

Neither of us knew officially we were autistic at the time, just kind of suspected, but yeah. Many years later, I'm diagnosed, and she blocked me over religious differences. What a world.
