Neuroqueer

I see that this is not a very active place but I am currently dealing with the process of migrating from web 2 areas such as Reddit. And I'm also dealing with addictions and a sleep disorder. So, I will make it a habit to post here now and again. I'm grateful to the person that made this space.

I have audhd and am an asexual nonbinary person. I have multiple interests and don't really know what to do with myself because of it. Nothing I like goes together. I have several different interests, different things I want to draw. Sometimes I want to draw crude nsfw art, other times I want to draw cute cozy art, other times I want to draw a furry character, other times I want to draw creepy art, other times I want to try a new illustrative or indie art style I just recently discovered.

I like the raccoon. The raccoon represents this uncontrollable urge to dig through the trash and scrounge up all the things, do all the things. The raccoon is scattered like me.

Some other weird details: I like making collages on the computer. I think it satisfies the craving to line things up, which I heard is a type of autistic stim. Stacking, lining things up neatly, organizing things by a specific trait like colour or genre or alphabetical order. I also like to make "meme" type starterpack collage things that show my interests or things in my life that have meaning at that time. I have made starterpack collages of things that appealed to me at different periods of my life, as well as more venty ones like "visiting my senior parents starter pack" or "depression startpack".

I enjoy writing stories, music, learning new things, science, art, nature and going outside in quiet places like local trails. And I'm bad at knowing how to finish anything I start. Okay bye.

[3 different thumbnails given to you randomly. All have words in yellow text. One says “explaining ableist language” another has “intro to ableist language” and one says “what is ableist language?”. They are all next to the disabled pride flag and on a digital art wooden background with a grey table in the bottom left corner]

I'm in a very red state and have been trying to move to a blue state. (Or another country tbh but that is overwhelmingly complicated and expensive). Currently living with family but that has run it's course.

So my partner and I have been applying to places but I just had a bankruptcy this year, my partner is in the process of doing a bankruptcy, I'm on a fixed income, and my partner's income is unsteady. Plus we each have a dog. We've had them all their lives. There's no way we can give them up.

I just don't know what to do or where to go. Rent is so expensive. We need a 2 bedroom so that my partner can have a place to work. Our credit scores suck. And a lot of these places want 700+ score and no bankruptcy in the last 10 years!

We were going to have a cosigner, but they want the cosigner to have 4 or 5x the rent as income. With rent for just a studio going over $1k that's more than our potential cosigners make. And that's just for a studio, when we really need a 2 bedroom. We could probably make a 1 bedroom work, but it doesn't really matter when we don't meet the qualifications and neither does our potential cosigners.

I tried looking at places in rural areas, but even those places are expensive and with both of us having medical appointments every week, usually multiple times a week, the driving would be killer.

We can't even go to a shelter, not just because of the dogs but because all the shelters around us you have to work (some of them you have to pay rent also!). I am disabled and physically cannot work, and even if I really pushed myself and was somehow able to, I'm not allowed to work because I will lose my disability check.

I'm just at a complete loss. I have no idea what to do or where to go. I have some money in savings from a settlement, but that is running out fast with all the medical costs. And I can't stop going to my appointments or I will end up losing my disability check as well when I come up for review.

That's why we want to go to a blue state because we would both qualify for Medicaid which would give us more of our income back. And also have more of a community hopefully.

I just need advice? Or maybe solidarity? Is it going to work out 😭
