My name is Indigo (they/them). I have three jobs. I have had four injuries, four emergency medical events, and two surgeries over the past two years. I’ve been beyond struggling with money. I work 7 days a week and am currently on workmen’s compensation for a new injury. I am an autism teacher, and my students need me. I can’t afford food, prescriptions, or my bills. I pet sit on the side and have no free time for my mental health or to relax. I lost my health insurance a year ago due to cuts to social programs. I have around 6 doctors, and I take 7 different medications, not including over-the-counter supplements. I can’t afford anything, and my close friends are constantly trying to help me. They can’t afford to support me, and I don’t have much help from family. I have depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, gender dysphoria, and I still persist every day and go to work. The stress of how much money I owe in debt (40k), along with trying to stay afloat, is too much. It has caused me to feel like I’d be better off dead. I can’t keep living like this. My bills are overdue, and I’ve been hit with almost 1k in late fees and overdraft fees just in the past two months.
