for those who it hadn't been cleared yet, I'm persian, I live in Iran. and things haven't been so bright lately (haven't been for years) especially this past month. Prices are going up and the cost of living has gone through the roof. and despite the fact that i lived BELOW the poverty threshold since my childhood, it has been significantly worse now and even more un-liveable.
during all this my phone broke twice and I had to somehow sell things and get loans I won't be able to pay peacefully to buy a new one. My drawing tablet is on the brink of dying too and I can't afford a new one with my income. buying clothes, groceries, whatever is becoming harder and harder and it's not even the end of the year (Solar/Iranian calendar.).
I'm fucking freezing without proper clothes since i have moved to a colder city and I'm running around undiagnosed and unmedicated with an illness that will have me shunned by my family and looked down upon for other people. My working hand still has a nerve damage that I can't do anything about unless I seek surgery. Which. I can't. or even buying steam games lol
Even small things like going to cafe on the weekends to feel better about this life have left my list to have a proper budget at the end of the week.

and frankly I don't know what the fuck to do. Nothing has been going right this year, nothing, and now I have to deal with this as well if I don't get bombed at new years or whatever. it's one of many reasons I have been feeling pretty shit because I don't know how to cope with this or anything at all. It's hopeless and bleak and it's looking to get worse.

and just for clarification, I don't have access to international bankingโit is strictly banned in Iran as a whole because of the problems we had and have with the world meaning I can't normally take funds. euro, dollar, paypal, gofundme, whatever that is out there.
as of today, 28th of December of 2025, my monthly income is only worth $42 or โฌ35 and it's going to be even less by tomorrow.
my only way of earning those funds and support is through tether/USDT. I don't like coins as much as the next person but I mention this one in particular since its linked to the price of dollar and somehow wallets are not banned in Iran (yet). It's the only way to get dollars legally from others. I know this sounds shitty, I don't like this either, I hate it. But I don't have a choice. Even as of writing this, I don't have an account because I'm that uncertain of this choice.
It's another reason why I made my posts private. aside from thirty mental breakdowns I wanted to start posting in a consistent style for a better commission sheet. But taking commissions Is impossible due to international banking being unavailable as I mentioned before. And this would be only choice.
On the brighter side, If you are able to support me just a few bucks I'd be able to start a paypall account and hopefully I can move to there instead of doing this. (paypall is still banned, but we have sites in my country where I can start a paypall account but the cost is above my income. ALL of my income.)
If you can't or you have lost your trust and faith in me because of my last request, I fully understand and I respect that decision. I know i haven't been the best person or the most active. But if it's possible for you, if you can, if you want, I'd be more than happy and will always be in your debt.
I know this has been a long post, I know this won't reach many people because of holidays. But if you did read through this, thank you. and if you are someone who will be able to (temporarily) support me in this way please let me know via DMs or the comments. and even if you can, i will only and only accept it through commissions because i can't live with the guilt of easy money.
Thank you and happy holidays.
