Look into the community college you haven’t been to and see if you can get accepted.....it might be hard because of your grades so you may need to write a letter explaining. If you get in focus on something that makes decent money not something that’s just for fun. This will set you up for life and soon you’ll be supporting the bf instead of the other way around 😀👍

I'm not spending anything because my mom pays for the food. Rent is 700, condo fee is 150, phone bill is 120. So my mom takes 1000 every month. That leaves me with 1500 gross a month from disability and working part time. I saved up a lot of money by doing this for over a year.

My goal is still to get off of disability and have a career so I'm going to school part time. I have no idea what I want to do though. I have potential to do something with my life so I don't want to waste it.

If I wasn't on disability, I'd be working full time at a dead end job with no time for school and feel my soul being crushed by society, alone with no relationships because I'm asexual so I'd be exhausted after work with all my useful energy to get out of the system - wasted, then I wake up and do it all again, alone (Probably doing drugs). I did that before with my welding job. They weren't even teaching me welding. They had no respect for me. They just made me clean the shop. The coworkers were abusive. One always asked me why I didn't smile and made fun of me for it.

Possible trigger:


The only reason I wouldn't be psychotic and extremely dysphoric and depressed from stress of working full time is because of the invega injection. But that costs 1000 dollars a month and I wouldn't be able to afford it without disability.

So I'm basically cursed in a way but also lucky and grateful that I'm in the position that I am in. I would still give it up if I didn't have this illness, ruining my cognition but could be the invega numbing my brain which is why I sometimes want off the Injection to see if I'm better even though I would lose my disability if I was.

My Mom's Foster Mom is coming for a visit. She arrives today. IDK how long she is staying. She's nice but she's critical, so I'm kind of dreading it. Of course, I have work, and some other things planned so I will have breaks from her but still it is hard. IWIWD. I don't want to deal with this. Hugs to anyone who wants one. Kit

So i called like my closest friend and my immediate family

After that, i talked to the bf, and we might do a unity ceremony or some other alternative marriage ceremony. Not legally-binding.

Came home from classes today to find a huge Manila envelope in my mailbox from the college with a certificate for being on the Deans List. Roll Call 142!

I'm sorry you have to deal with that Kit. I hope it goes as smoothly as possible
