I know what it’s like to be in the “shelter” if I’m truly understanding what you mean by that. You may or may not know who I am, but I feel you, and I know you can get through this. Best of luck to you.

I'll be the first to admit it took me. A good bit to collect myself enough to respond. Not due to the message, I just had a bit of a paranoia episode, whoopsie!
But thank you!!! This whole situation has been a huge nightmare since last June. 😵💫 Lmao. I try to not post about IRL stuff too much because hey! That's not the point of this blog.
...that being said. The situation we're in kinda fucking sucks. Nowhere to exactly go, no place that's really safe and has such strict rules we gotta follow. Getting scolded every few days for something easily solvable were it not for circumstances, only having a few hours everyday to myself, having a physically disabled short king like myself climb an entire BUNK BED and nearly injuring myself for 2 weeks before figuring out a sorta system... It sucks.
...there's a whole fucking STORY as to how I ended up in this situation, but meh. It is what it is, at the end of the day.
I've been getting by, even if mostly through the other "writers" help. Even if mostly through dissociation and music and sparing what little time to myself I have doing things that used to make me happy.
Even if those things don't make me very happy anymore, even if more and more things feel like glass in my heart.
...Sigh. I've been unmedicated for a few months now and it,,, shows. Not very cutesy and silly of me but!...I also value honesty.
Point is, yeah. Being at the Shelter has sucked.
...thanks for checking in. Not a lot of people have been anymore, because hey- I'm just another case in a rising problem.
But I'm still a person, and a lot of people forget that too. /genuine
