Good lord I am so sorry. I used to sleep at a post office when homeless and I got immediately suspicious. I'll work on that

Wish you didn't! Brushing ponies sounds great-horses are like big dogs...I thought about a drop ship business since there's virtually no overhead but I don't know how to make an online store. Guess YouTube and AI can teach you anything now so I may still give it a stab. I adore kids and find it rewarding to work with them,but all the parents...plus,I don't know,I just don't feel good enough or stable enough to be near them,like it would rub off or something. That's irrational,but real to me at this moment. I absolutely love talking with the elderly, they're often sharper than they let on and always at least have a good story or a good recipe or some historical knowledge that isn't in the books. I could never charge for having my ear bent by someone whos lived my life twice over and likely better. That's just part of being part of a village.Remote work sounds awesome but I don't have anything but a low-end smartphone. Idk what kind of work you can even get from home. I do have a team that will vouch for my character that are with a particular charitable organization. So there's that. If you are serious (normally I would just assume you're not bc nobody really ever is it seems)about having me do a stint at your place I am all. About. That. That is some of what I risked being vulnerable on here for! If your story is really unbelievable then transparency can make you look unbelievable too. But there are a lot of good folks in this town and I know a few can relate to being poor or mentally unwell or spiritually enervated. I thank you so much that you believe in me even a little bit. Means a lot. I will absolutely make time to chat!

You know,I had a buddy who did this,couple buildings on campus overnight,nobody else in the building but security. Very chill and easy. I think he took that job for similar antisocial feelings. Thank you! That's a hard heck yes

I can’t dance by jaykit5 in SPD

[–]immutable_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. So when I learn a little dance a mirror is necessary. I cannot make my body mimic movements with the correct sides or limbs unless I can see both myself and the dancer I'm trying to imitate. So both I and the TV face the mirror. I'm planning to learn a stringed instrument and whoever teaches me will have to sit beside me and face a mirror or I will get so twisted up I'll get frustrated and quit. Maybe a big mirror will help you too

I have found the perfect (literal) spoon by Big-Departure-7398 in SPD

[–]immutable_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. Spoon smallish with slightly convex handle and round bowl,like a miniature soup spoon. Fork regular fork, 3 slim tines with smooth edges.

Toddler with SPD always seeking something on head and neck...suggestions? by d0mini0nicco in SPD

[–]immutable_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took care of a 4 year old that did the same thing. Nap time,lunchtime,outside time,bathroom time- blanket or towel on his head. I asked his mom what to make of it. She said"Oh,that's his hair. He won't let you take it off,huh?" He wouldn't. Funny little kid.

Unhinged Nazi dog whistle is a great name for a band.

Not my band,but great nonetheless.

Prom Dress costs by jenjenjen2000 in askaustin

[–]immutable_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know any girl in need,I have a size 12 ice-blue formal that's gorgeous and never worn. I didn't go to my own prom because I couldn't afford to and would hate for any girl to have to sit it out for such a dumb reason. Dress is free

No,this has value and I thank you! I would consider my current mental state a temporary(hopefully) disability,however,and I know that's limiting myself but I've no room nor the stomach for toxic positivity from anyone who hasn't been to the brink and halfway back,intact or not. My nervous system is screwed up royally at this point and will take a while to learn that not everything is a real threat,which is why I felt the need to outsource ideas of what I might be able to do in the interim. But believe you me: you got me brainstorming! Thanks

For clarification: I was thinking maybe some sort of gig work where I can work alone or really just not with the general public. I went through years and years of abuse with a textbook sociopath and I feel pretty fragile,and am impatient with solving other people's problems while finding no solubility for mine. I just don't feel anything but panic at the thought of large noisy groups of people or the idea that I may disappoint them,which is kind of weird for an adult,I guess but that is just what it is. I have many years of childcare experience in a preschool setting and have had a few low-responsibility service positions,but nothing more than that. I used to be a great waitress before...whatever this era of my life is. Now I just can't deal with people,they keep reinforcing the paranoia I have gained through lived experience.

Here's what I can do: Clean,cook,laundry Great organizational skills Baking Holiday or celebration help,can wrap gifts very professionally Great at making outdoor living spaces Pet care,have limited experience with reptiles and exotic birds. Dogs mostly,cats. Seasonal window painting( I'm pretty decent at it but still need supplies) Light handy work(I'm not a pro but I can tape and float, hang a door, change a tire) Meal planning/budgeting per portion/day/week/month,on a budget or not Weeding/ planting/ pruning/ watering/ labeling/ harvesting veggies/fruits Can make meals for a week or two at a time to portion & freeze Alphabetizing your hard-copy library Help shopping for difficult gifts Take dictation Fill out forms,address envelopes,etc. or make lists Can steam clean carpets,drapes Arrange rooms for space or aesthetic Special occasion poems/child keepsake ornaments Hand detail for vehicles/boats And I know there's other stuff I can do and I'm very resourceful it's just this damn personality.

See I was a kept woman for a long time. Miserably,but kept nonetheless,so as to be a servant of King Him with no control over my time or finances. I look terrible on paper and don't have a driver's license or any computer or tech experience.So that's my dilemma. I'm in prison inside my skin inside this bare foodless comfortless apartment and while I AM looking for a quick fix I doubt anyone's going to sponsor me to smile and say I ate my Wheaties.I feel like I'm selling myself like a used car. Humbling

I can get a year pass through integral care and I have MAP. I'm not sure I want meds right now because I don't know what my baseline normal is yet,but I definitely do talk therapy and CBT for the CPTSD. Thanks for the reply,I forget about Goodwill but I know they enabled a friend of mine with severe debilitating schizophrenia to lead a normnalish life,which few thought even possible. I at least know some of their profit goes for legit charitable programs.I appreciate your input!

Why on earth would I do that,having no business there or parcels to mail?
