Hi, I'm Avery. (Ignore the other name listed - the dreaded legal name does not exist. It's not real. It can't hurt you)

Based on where I'm posting this, it's likely you'll already know me, or maybe you won't, or maybe you DO but only in passing - whatever, it doesn't matter much. Anyway, my life has recently started to tumble, and more than usual - my mental health and ability to function as a human being (ugh) have always been rocky and there's been times where it's been ESPECIALLY bad, but recently it's reached a point where I can no longer keep on keeping on.

My mental health plateaued a long, looooong time ago, but holding things back and masking for so long has led to everything exploding - anxiety attacks and sickness at work has led to me being unable to attend my shifts, meaning no money is coming in at all, which is obviously just... bad. This is on top of simple tasks like eating, talking, cleaning, or any other simple tasks requiring so much energy of me, sending spikes of panic through me, and otherwise just being much too hard for me to do on a daily basis. I'm not functioning, nor am I living - I'm surviving at this point.

I'm trying to work on applying for disability pay in the UK at the moment; PIP, LCWRA, and UC, all of which I COULD be eligible for, but the trick is always in getting meetings set up... seeing professionals... getting evaluated... all of which compiling together into time that I do. not. have.

If I'm going to be able to eat, keep the lights on, and pay my bills, then I really need help from people until I can reach that point. It shouldn't take more than a month or two, but that's obviously a long time to go without essentials.

I really just need some help until the wheels of bureaucracy turn enough for me to start being supported by my own country.

All of the funds used will go towards food, bills, and essentials. I can even post about the kinds of meals I'm having per day.

(I'm not really sure what else to add here...)
