Thank you ๐ญโค๏ธ It means a lot to receive empathy as I have noone at home to vent to and I can't keep it in. I'm just done with trying to survive on my own here, I need to know there is an end point. It doesn't help that I messed up the maths on the amount and it's actually a 21% increase ($115/week). Hahahaha get fucked srsly.
I've already ticked off a few things on the list - at least I have a better idea of timeframes to act on and what my options are. It's a constant battle convincing my nervous system that I'm not trapped, I'm safe, I have a way out, I deserve to exist. I'm so worn out, I'm going to bed.
hugs
