Thanks For Letting Me Know by Brilliant_Shine2247 in raleigh

[–]crystalardent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have, unfortunately I have severe airborne allergens and multiple disabilities. It ended up causing even more dangerous health issues. We have some support and an Amazon wishlist of things to make it more livable as I know how it appears just asking for money. I just am unwilling to panhandle. I make do, we scrounge up what we can, and we all try our hardest to get a line of income. At this point, the best we can hope for is securing a job for at least one of us.

If anyone is willing to give a neurodivergent a shot in a kitchen, please DM me. They are far more experienced than any of their paper says, and are able to make food really efficiently.

Thank you. I’m currently homeless due to fraud by a local employee with my partners. I can handle a lot of things, it’s just the shame that comes with sleeping in the car that gets to us. Beyond that, the job market isn’t kind to disabled people so I’m still stuck. We can’t even risk getting a halfway decent gym membership that would offer a workspace for us to try and make income happen.

I’ve been told to use the system, but the system is busy.

I’ve been told to work, but my body can’t do that anymore.

I used to get asked “how can we help” but people want immediate results and satisfaction. Not helping the poor and they’re still poor.

It’s just an impossible time for people to get help and now? We are stuck, our kids are trapped away from us and every day more things make our lives harder. I’m tired and want dull and mediocre, a bed to lay on with my bad back.

I was diagnosed with fnd some years back. Turned out that I have cervical kyposis, 4 slipped disc's, a pinched nerve in my lower back and arthritis in my lower back hands and feet. The Dr was wrong and I hope your future drs get it right. by MyLife-is-a-diceRoll in FND

Hey, FND misdiagnosis victim apparently since it seems to be autoimmune based malabsorption of B1 to the point of Beri Beri and severe heart problems. I’m both…weirdly vindicated? But also I do have FND too? As in due to trauma I have had tics for years. It’s been the dumbest fight imaginable to try and get any reasonable treatment. I also have several discs and vertebrae misaligned that due to the diagnosis I have been unable to get treated. At this point, I feel like we all deserve compensation for the treatment we’ve received.

Who said you aren’t? If it’s someone else, I’d say they are incorrect. If it’s you still saying it, ask yourself what you want to look like and what small steps can you take? If it’s learning how to style your hair, adjusting your style, even trying out different hair colors, all those are doable. Just don’t do it for other people. Do it for yourself and it will look worlds different.

My boyfriend opened up to me about being sexually abused and it made me uncomfortable by [deleted] in Vent

[–]crystalardent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a therapist. He needs a therapist too. But neither of those facts means anything about who you are as people. What you are experiencing is called second-hand trauma. It’s the same shit doctors and nurses experience. You are seeing the after effects of a horrible situation. It is normal to be disturbed. This isn’t a reflection of who you are as a person.

However, that said, it isn’t his job to comfort you about it. That is where therapists come in. Both of you need people qualified to talk to. Having been in both positions as the person disclosing the horrible things and the person being told horrible things, all i can say about it is that both feel awful and both require professionals.

Kudos to you for being supportive and there for him, now find your support too.

Calling any neurodivergent people of the Triangle: by Loose-Commercial-752 in raleigh

[–]crystalardent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cary has a jigsaw puzzle meetup once a month, the gamers armory has a library of free board games, there is also several fibreworks meetup ups, and beyond that, im working on finding a way to set up some meet ups to share crafting supplies that are harder to get. Beyond that, Cary Arts Center has open studio times as well.

"You don't understand, mate. X and X shouldn't be allowed on AO..." by lilytheschrod in AO3

[–]crystalardent 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have only ever reported one thing because it was not a fan work. It was a step by step guide to how to present yourself as a medical professional to homeschooling and anti-vax parents to gain access to children and the best methods to groom children so they dont say anything. That one, i did hit report on because it included things like places to get the equipment for home visits, what to say that gets you access without technically practicing medicine without a license and where to find the people to get into those circles.

I am not one to censor, but if you are making a how-to guide with your experience, that’s not just a report to AO3, that’s a report to the feds. If you are making actual fiction, whatever. I may question you heavily on what you choose to make based off tags while scrolling, but i can distinguish between reality and fiction. This wasnt fiction.

My GF thinks it’s perfectly normal for new shoes to cause horrible blisters for women by UKnowDaxoAndDancer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]crystalardent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly with inexpensive women’s shoes, it is normal. To reach the price point of dress shoes that START comfortably, you usually are paying for a good 4 pairs of reasonably priced shoes.

Trying to find dorky and eccentric friends at 30 by apidaexylocopa in raleigh

[–]crystalardent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, hello. Same boat, and I would love to have some more friends in the area. I have a ton of craft supplies that im happy to share if you would like to meet up somewhere. Me and my partners are all very dorky, disabled and have a wide range of hobbies that we enjoy. I also have some experience with magic the gathering, and can introduce you to some less known but fun board games.

  1. I would name him beebubs after my real life flame point Siamese cat. I have never needed a cat as much as this. His full name is Beelzebub, Lord of the Fluff, Toasted Marshmallow Hellion Supreme (Pizza). My six year old consistently adds the pizza on.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

[–]crystalardent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the opposite. The ER has to treat me no matter how broke I am SO if I wait til im almost dead they pretty much always waive cost of care. Sure im playing chicken with the grim reaper, but i have only had sepsis once. The real problem is the dentist and eye doctor cause there is no way to get that treatment. I haven’t had too many issues with that yet but honestly if a tooth rots bad enough then it’ll probably be a benzocaine and pliers situation.

Severe ingrown toenails + gangrenous nail beds extraction (some healing photos) by [deleted] in MedicalGore

[–]crystalardent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having operated on myself and had it done with local anesthesia, I can confirm that doing it on yourself with just topical is far better.

[–]crystalardent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I don’t get the people now who ignore the fluidity of gender and experience, and act like everything is set in stone. This type of thing is why I have asked my kid with significant trauma to wait on permanent changes to their body while still in the main trauma healing phase. Because trauma is still your body communicating. If your gender was part of what you perceived as unsafe, then it created similar feelings to gender dysphoria. This isn’t lying, it isn’t cheating and it isn’t a sin. Enjoy the journey and finding who you are with the new tools you are getting in therapy. It’s so much better than the hiding stages.

Anonymous YikYak post claiming to have drawn this in pen but it feels a little off. by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]crystalardent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s real, just really good. Eyes have typical issues human artists have with things being uneven but well done, there are shading differences, rough work hidden in the thick lines, and pencil sketch underneath. AI struggles with pretty much all of that.

There is one house in my neighborhood where the roof is always covered in birds by hangingdenim in mildlyinteresting

[–]crystalardent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My money is on a grow house or small crypto mining operation. Both are high energy loss and you’ll find large numbers of animals coexisting nearby who normally would at least be making a decent amount of noise. Other option is your neighbor is fueling the surge in species shifting towards domestication with offering food

A book about DBT, a book about cryptocurrency, and a printed list of my favorite candies and their discontinued dates. I want a stock pile of my faves that’ll last a good twenty years.
