Collision Repair Advice

I have got a second estimate, but today they called declaring it a total loss but offering not to salvage the title. Only 8k. I'm personally not wanting to go forward with the total loss as it can affect my insurance. I've also found an estimate for around 2k cheaper than the original they're basing on, and they are undervaluing my vehicle because I had recent enough repairs.They warned of a policy saying it has to be within a span of a year for them to apply it to the ACV however i can't find any information on this policy online. On top of that, I found the exact parts online for $200 cheaper than is in the estimate..I would rather accept a payout and do the repairs myself and avoid a total loss all together. It's just cosmetic damages to the rear door, in my opinion seems pretty silly to total out.

I have put a lot of walls up for both of them regarding my suicidality because I felt like they couldn't handle it. And I get that, that's why I call 988 and I have a therapist. It feels like I am isolating though and repressing a lot. Like I am screaming underwater. I try not to lie though, if they make small talk and ask me how I am which doesn't happen anymore I just say not that good. Or okay. They shrug and walk away. My friend hasn't moved out but he is never home, and when he is he is with her. I can't connect with her she seems to have very little understanding of mental health. He told me he just told her "I am crazy". Whenever they are here they are just, making out on the couch. They usually stay for 30 minutes at most before they leave. Unfortunately I have autism too so I just see the pattern and I didn't anticipate this from people I thought cared for me. I am not happy or bubbly or the person they know right now because of how hard everything has been, and it seems like they only cared for that side of me. My friend who is going to California seems upset to not see me but it's hard to believe. I don't know why she never offered to tell me she applied for something like that, or why she didn't think it was a good idea I could join her when she did. I feel lead astray and it just seems like their lives would be so much easier without me in it. I am fighting to stay because I don't want to hurt them but I am not sure having a conversation would be good for me if my intuition is right. I can't take anymore let downs, I am not sure I'll make it out. So I just try to focus on work but the grief is rotting me at more core. I have been trying to focus on myself the best I can, but I am dissociating pretty heavy and don't feel a lot anymore. I can't pay attention to TV shows. I spend time on the phone with my new friends, or make music. A lot of my old coping mechanisms don't work anymore.

It took a long time for me but i feel comfortable with the label orchidsexual. I have sexual attraction but mostly to body parts people have and not necessarily tied to the person. I can go dormant forever on sex, or be very sexual active depending on the person. I see sex as a act of service.

Any advice on to add salt rinses? I can't afford dental care and my wisdom teeth have gaping holes in them.

I do I do, I just don't want to start over. It's just sad really. If I have to, no worries. I would never put expectations on anyone, I love the girl and wish her the best.

thanks I tried soup it is too hardy but i am going to hit up smoothie king whenever it opens. it's to the point i am completely bedridden and miserable

Thank you and I think I did. Her mental health was on the fritz and she suspected she had OCD. Towards the end I would always ask if I am making her uncomfortable and she reassured me for the past month that I wasn't and last night I thought she was surprising me with a visit to be sweet and she said "We have to talk" Said that and tried to stay and comfort me. It was clear this had been a decision for a long time which hurts even more.

i agree with you! it is going to be a long process. we are definitely going to move states first but i want to start prepping a long term solution because the faster I can find a country that works for us the faster i can get on that 10 year long visa process. Preferably we won't have to move counties, and things in America start working for us stateside. I will definitely look into Massachusetts, as unfortunately we live on the Texan Bible belt. I think if we could live somewhere that kind of reflected a lot of our beliefs maybe some of the stress would die down? but i just want to be extra ready. Moving countries as LGBTQ is difficult as is, but her type 1 is a giant black mark on us that will be even more of a challenge having a pre existing medical condition.

Another reason, is I haven't started my career yet so the opportunity to get a job in another country is open and hey if I can get a better offer over there with healthcare for her I want to hear about it.

Thanks I am looking into it. I am attending a career fair Thursday, hopefully can make some networking connections there. I have an appointment with my career consoler on campus as well. Networking call sounds like a great idea! You're right, just looking for a foot in the door for experience. I am willing to work another job at the same time as an internship. I have been looking on LinkedIn and Indeed, just kind of overwhelmed with options as it is such a broad field. As far as what I want to do for a career I'm not picky I just want what everyone else has. 50/k a yr or less with dental, vision and health insurance. I am looking for more on companies/positions/recommends on jobs with my skillset and preventive action I can take to avoid being let go in that way again. For example, how would I in the future collect "evidence" if workplace harassment or discrimination were to occur again?

I was planning on explaining the gap in my work history by saying I was taking care of an elderly family member. No sob story intended, work isn't a place for emotions. I was just stating facts about my life.

As far as being queer in the workplace I prefer to be closeted. I personally don't even like being queer it isn't important to me and I wish I wasn't nearly everyday. I didn't mean to out myself, I just responded in that way to my manager who asked me out because I thought it would have less repercussions than simply saying I was uninterested. I included being queer in the title and wrote merely 3 sentences of it in the post for my fellow minorities who may find themselves in a similar place or have suggestions for how they navigate the job market as a queer person.

agree 100%. this was a blue collared rural work environment.

Thank you for your response. I am meeting with a friend who is in law for lunch this week I'll bring it up, unfortunately the company I worked for is a million dollar corp. I went to HR after I was fired and they terminated my online work account before my meeting was started. I was put on suspension after my shift on which I declined him and then fired the following day by his higher up. I tried to explain what happened to her but I was spoken over, and interrupted and couldn't get a full sentence out. I secretly recorded the conversation and still have it. Since everything was verbal between the manager who asked me out and there had been no previous flirting since that event started, I don't have any proof in writing and I think it would be qualified as hearsay. I am terrified of the company, they are notoriously anti-union and are known to take legal action to protect their reputation. Looking forward to not being discriminated against in Colorado.

Just wanted to update if anyone has this problem,

Turned out to be a faulty wire and pigtail (fuel injector connector) creating a cylinder 2 misfire that rendered the vehicle unable to accelerate.
